Private browsing
Windows 7 integration
Improved find
Presto 2.5
… and improved user interface

Opera 10.50 – No Presto 2.4 for You, Prepare for Presto 2.5
One of Opera employers confirmed via Twitter that Opera 10.50 will be using Presto 2.5 instead of 2.3 or Rumored 2.4.
“@Malarkey, sorry, but there will be no Presto 2.3 inside. Only 2.5. I’m not kidding ;)”
David Storey also said:
“Its not using Presto 2.3. It is using something quite a bit newer.”
