WOO HOO!
This is the beta for Opera 8!

It has allot of really neat things to, allot of things are more compact, with toggles, and has as way of even changing the way opera works! ^_^

Has tabbed browsing (like firefoxes), seperate windows like IE6, and Opera's version of tabs which I'm used to!

I'm playing around with the tabs right now, the seperate windows and tabs all seem to work perfectly.
If you have it set to seperate window, if you try to open anouther Opera session, it lets you, if you have it set to tabs it opens a new window in the current session. The Firefox tabs work ok (Seems to be exactly like firefox tabs, considering I haven't used firefox in a long time) and the opera tabs are same old goodness I've grown to love!

ALlot of the menues are now "tucked away" but the toggle to bring them out is where the old meunes used to be, such as "show images/security, the new voice button author/user CSS and zoom size are all where they used to be, in a tab that you turn on and off. It even has a new "find" in the tab, which is the same as "edit find" but a box for it now.

The menu to the left, has all the clutter taken away, and is now more usefull because of it!

I think I like the way they have redone it all in the new beta!

Thre was always the dictionary and encyclopeadia when you right clicked selected text, but now you can do an automatic google search on it! :o !

If you press the button to let opera know you're speaking then say "Opera voice commands" it opens that page which is all the voice commands you can give it.
