14 DAY TRIAL // A fresh Beta version of the Opera Internet browser has been released by its developers and the Linux users can test it along with everyone else. It brings quite a few minor changes, but there are also two major improvements that really stand out.
The Linux users are finally on par with the Windows and Mac OS X platforms and they also have a stable version of the browser. That also means that this latest Beta can also be tested across platforms.
"There are couple of things worth mentioning for this build, let’s start with Chromium updates. Over the time of the holiday break two of them were pushed to Opera beta, and currently we are using 40.0.2214.69 version. Our developers also fixed annoying bug that was happening on Facebook for our users using various IMEs – you should now be able to input characters without any problems," is noted in the announcement.
The changelog also mentions that: the extension button no longer remains stuck, a crash that occurred on exit has been corrected, the geolocation permission dialog no longer causes problems for the browser, and a few other smaller fixes have been implemented.
More details about this release can be found on the official website. You can download the latest Opera 27.0.1689.44 version from Softpedia. This is not a stable release so it's likely users will encounter bugs. The Windows and Mac OS X versions can be downloaded from the same page.
