Good news for Mac users: Opera 10.50 beta for Mac out now!

, , , ,

Opera 10.50 beta for mac is out now. Download it now and take it for a spin!

There is a bunch of cool new stuff and improvements over the pre-alpha build we had released earlier.

  • Stabilization Improvements: You will find that this build is much more stable than the pre-alpha build.
  • More polished user interface: The whole UI is more polished now. We're still not done yet, and expect more polishes and improvements in the builds to come.
  • Opera Unite: Opera Unite now works with this release. You can browse through and download unite apps through the Unite Apps Repository.
  • HTML5 <video>: This beta now supports the html5 <video> tag.
  • Widgets as standlone apps: We've already talked about widgets as standalone apps, but this functionality was till now, only available in windows builds. Now even in this build of 10.50 beta for mac, you can use widgets as standalone apps. Check out this ODIN post by Patrick Lauke on standalone widgets for more information.
  • New Developer Tools Menu: You can go to 'View->Developer Tools' Menu to access common and usefull tools for developers, such as Opera Dragonfly, cache information, the error console, the source code of the page, and more.

Also check out the post on the Opera Desktop Team Blog announcing the 10.50 beta releases for mac.

Drop down lists don't always work. For example the language selector at my.opera.com (bottom right of page) doesn't allow me to select a language. The checkbox widgets used are not the standard Aqua widgets on certain sites (eg Google Mail). One feature request I would like to add: is it possible to have links that open in new tabs open in a new adjacent tab but have new tabs (from CMD+T) open at the end of the row?
