Opera 11.10 launched with company's 'most expensive ad ever'
Opera has always been the little browser that could, and the company is now embracing that spirit more than ever with its new ad campaign for the just-released Opera 11.10. To that end, it's launched a new ad campaign that it proudly boasts is its most expensive ever -- a record-setting $8,517.26, including a hefty $1,500 that they splurged on some "trendy Swedish clothes." Of course, the browser itself is the real story here and, while it's an incremental upgrade, it does boast a few fairly big new features, including support for Google's new WebP image format, a "SpeedDial" for your favorite websites, and a turbo mode that promises to compress and load web pages faster when you're on a slow connection. Just how does that work? We'll let Opera's Christen Krogh explain in the no-expenses-spared video after the break.
Opera 11 now available for download
There's no Scandinavian-themed video this time around, but Opera Software has just released the final, non-beta version of its Opera 11 web browser, which promises a couple of big changes and a slew of other more minor refinements. Among the biggest additions are what Opera calls "tab stacking," which lets you create groups of tabs to manage dozens of open web pages a bit more effectively, and "visual mouse gestures," which is sort of like multitouch gestures but -- you know -- with a mouse. You'll also now get extensions, along with a new and improved (and "safer") address bar, and a so-called "mail panel" that's basically a built-in email client. Head on past the break for the complete press release, and hit up the link below to start downloading.
