Opera 11 Beta Released, With Extensions Support

An anonymous reader writes "Opera 11 Beta has just been released and now includes support for extensions. Also new in this release Tab Stacking, Visual Mouse Gestures, performance improvements, new installer, and much more. Even with its many new features, Opera 11 is 30% smaller than Opera 10.60. That means that Opera downloads more quickly and installs in fewer steps. There are over 130 extensions and climbing including NoScript and AdBlock! Extensions can be found here."

As long as they don't take the render-pages-like-crap feature from Opera, it's all good.

Sorry, but opera adblock have always lacked usability. Downloading the text file to ~./opera does not help much as you can not even easily get it autoupdated. Right clicking the ad and selection "block" is not good neither.

How bloody hard is it for Opera fan to actually test out the Firefox/Chrome adblock addon/extension and find out how after single click (install on addon/extension site) gives automatic filter update, easy blocking per country and after that there is no need to even click any ads as all are gone?

I just updated opera, updated the filter file and still I get lots of ads. Now I just dont have behind right click any blocking functions.

"Chrome and Opera. Hands down. The others aren't even close. Not Webkit nor Gecko based browsers."

Chrome use webkit engine. And lots of webkit engine powered browsers are great. But as it is easy to notice from your text, you are a opera fan and your opinions are such. I just toke opera back to my default browser but it is not best or greatest.

Firefox and its various add ons have taken most of their advances directly from Opera.

Opera does not offer the functionality of most of the add ons I use (unless the new version or its add ons have copied them). What are the OPera equivalents to No Script (no, the built in functionality is a lot less flexible, and does not deal with plugins well), Its All Text, Long URl Please, Taboo, Certificate Patrol or Tree Style Tabs?

Those are just some of of what I use. Are you seriously saying Opera can also match the hundreds of extensions I do not use (but other people do).

And a hearty "welcome to 2005" for the browser that always seemed to be praised for its extensive feature set.
