Opera Releases Opera 11 Beta; Showcases Tab Stacking
Traditionally, tabs were opened side-by-side, but now people using Opera can stack their tabs.
The first beta version of Opera 11 is out today and its feature of power is stacked tabs. Traditionally, users viewed their tabs side by side but now, using Opera, users can stack their tabs grouping them by site or by theme. To stack tabs, drag one tab on top of another. Hovering the mouse over a tab will cause the stack to expand in a visual preview. Clicking the arrow icon expands the current stack across the tab bar. To watch a demo of tab stacking, watch the video below.
