Opera 11.10 Upgrades Speed Dial
Opera Software has just confirmed that one of the enhanced features in the upcoming Opera 11.10 release will be a new Speed Dial which layout is now called “Speed Dial Flow”.
As a result, a new snapshot reveals the very first piece of all upcoming changes that are yet to come (see screenshot above).
Please note that this is not a final speed dial version.

In addition to that, there will be some subtle animations and messages to remind new Opera users about all the features available in Opera web browser.
If you would like to try a new build (pre-alpha), please visit the following page.
