The stable version Opera is nowhere to be seen

The Opera developers have now released a new version of their browser in the 26.x branch, and this time it's a Beta build.

The Opera browser for Linux has switched to Beta for some time now and the devs have yet to publish the stable branch. Remember, it took them a year to get the first dev version out the door, so it might be a while until Linux Opera users are able to see how a stable iteration works.

"Today we’re bringing you an update to our Opera beta stream. This build includes a bunch of translation fixes including the very important DNA-29178 - Fix stupid nynorsk autotranslate mistakes (and => og). Also included in this build is not just one but two chromium updates! We fixed an annoying issues where some embedded videos would appear very choppy, these videos should play smoothly again'," reads the official announcement.

Despite the fact that it's still a Beta, the browser is now much more stable than it used to be. It no longer crashes and most of the features from the other platforms are already available. You can download Opera 26.0.1656.17 for Linux right now from Softpedia. This is the binary file, so users won't have any problems installing it.
