Today opera released the final version of their latest Opera 11 desktop web browser. Despite introducing lots of cool new features such as tab stacking, extensions and visual mouse gestures it took this version less than a month to graduate from beta. The key feature brought by Opera 11 is tab stacking allowing better management of your open tabs. All you need to do is drag one tab on top of another to create a new stack.

Next come extensions, which as the name suggests, are nice little plug-ins that extend the functionality of your web browser. Since the release of the Opera 11 beta version more than two million of those have been downloaded.

Mouse gestures are also improved and now offer visual mouse gestures. That means you will see a colored trace behind your mouse, helping you perform the gestures more accurately.

In all the recent excitement over Chrome OS unveliking it might have been easy to forget that many an industry watcher has ben asking just how Google new OS will fit in alongside Android. Indeed some have been asking if there is even a point to it given that Android can be, and indeed is being, used for tablet devices.

Fresh criticism in that vein has come from no less than the man who created Gmail, former Google employee Paul Buchheit. He did not mince his words in his appraisal of Chrome OS:


"I was thinking, is this too obvious to even state?, but then I see people taking Chrome OS seriously, and Google is even shipping devices for some reason."
