The number of extensions are now 92 & a lot of fixes & help for Extension developers are in this build. Opera 11 is starting to look very polished.
Opera will be releasing Opera Mobile for the Android phones on Tuesday 9th November
with hardware acceleration & pinch to zoom.


Opera now has a portable option built into the installer, everything is contained inside the install folder no entries are written to the registry so just delete the folder to uninstal plus it makes it very easy to backup or take with you on a USB stick.
Get it at Opera Desktop Team - Desktop Team only 6.8MB
When you run the installer click on Options.
Change the Install path to another folder & change All users to External drive.

If you install the snapshot you will probably find that the default search engine is not set to Google, to change default search engine open the drop down list in the Speedial search bar & choose manage search engines. Select your choice & then edit and details & you will find options for setting it as default & speedial search engines.
When you see the list of search engines you will notice a letter next to each one
g is Google, b is Bing etc.
Typing b in the Address field followed by a space & then the search term will search in Bing.
