Opera Software today set loose the beta of its Opera 11.10 browser, codenamed “Barracuda,” which promises smarter features and improved performance.<\/p>\n

Some of the new features included in the beta are a more versatile speed dial, easier installation of plug-ins, and an improved browser core.<\/p>\n

More versatile Speed Dial<\/strong><\/p>\n

The number of Speed Dials<\/a> is now unlimited, thanks to the new Speed Dial flow feature, which opens new Speed Dials dynamically as you add them. Customization options now include new layout choices, and an improved zoom slider lets you fit even 5-column layouts comfortably in your monitor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Easier plug-in installations <\/strong><\/p>\n

When you visit a page that requires Flash, Opera said that their browser can now download the plug-in automatically and install it in the background.<\/p>\n

Improved browser core<\/strong><\/p>\n

A new browser core not only makes Barracuda the fastest version of Opera, but also adds support for CSS3’s multi-column layouts and gradients, the Web Open Font Format (WOFF) and Google’s WebP image protocol, Opera said.<\/p>\n

“In 2011, Opera will have a relentless focus on desktop,” said Jan Standal, VP of desktop products, Opera Software. “Barracuda is our first release in the new year and shows off some of our freshest ideas to make your browsing easier. If you are already an Opera fan, you will appreciate the polish we added to Speed Dial, a favorite feature for many millions of people who use Opera.”<\/p>\n

Opera announced the 11.10 beta for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and it may be downloaded from Opera’s site<\/a>.<\/p>\n
