A new Opera development version is available

A new dev version of the Opera Internet browser has been released and Linux users can now get this latest iteration, although it brings nothing out of the ordinary, with the exception of a fix that should have landed.

The Linux version of Opera is still under development and we suspect it will remain in this branch for quite some time. It took the devs a year to even release a Linux version of the browser, so it's likely it will take a long time to see a stable build as well. It's not a bad thing because the makes of Opera want to provide the best experience for Linux users.

"We felt bad about releasing a developer build yesterday with promised sync fixes, that could not actually login to sync! Therefore we decided to give you very small update with this issue fixed. We also fixed a very common crash bug on Linux and an issue where disabling tab menu in settings would not free its space on the tab bar," writes Ruarí Ødegaard, the leader of the Opera Linux team.

More details about this release can be found on the official website. You can download the latest Opera 27.0.1689.2 version from Softpedia. If you already have the application installed, you just have to upgrade the system.
