Opera Beta Version 10.50 Now Available For Mac

The Opera Beta version 10.50 for Mac has been released to the public. This comes on the tail of a recent release for Windows, and shows a more aggressive move into the Mac OS by Opera.

Some of the new features include: minimalist design interface, fastest JavaScript engine currently on the market (claimed Opera and published by CNET), new search field, new Opera widgets, better standards compliance including HTML 5 and CSS 3, a "smart" address field, better graphics rendering, and private browsing.

Updates to Opera for version 10.50:

• Cocoa support
• Unified tool bar
• Growl notifications
• Multi-touch gestures
• Happy Easter! Well almost, but multi-touch users should look out for the egg
• 10.4 (Tiger) support returns
• Widgets fixed and panel enabled
• Fixed Bug DSK-282851 (Slow typing)
• Fixed Bug DSK-276782 (Hangs on NYT and Reuters and other sites): Page Freezing Bug
