14 DAY TRIAL // The Opera developers have said that a stable version of their Internet browser, for the 25.x branch, is getting closer to launch and they've made available a new Beta.
The Opera browser is now based on Chromium and this simple fact has delayed the release of a stable Linux version for more than a year. Now, the Linux platform will finally get a release and some final touches have been made to the client.
The developers have improved a number of features that are already available in the browser. For example, users will not be able to drop a PDF file in browser tab that already has a similar file opened, deleting the entries in History now works as it should, the correct font is used all the time, and the new Bookmark feature that has been recently made available has been improved.
You can download the latest Opera 25.x for Linux right now from Softpedia. If you don't want to repeat the install process every time a new version is released, make sure you let the application add a repository right after launch. Also, keep in mind that despite the small number of fixes, this is still a Beta release and problems might still arise.
