On Monday, Opera released a preview of their upcoming desktop browser that uses WebKit instead of Presto to render web pages. Opera Next 15 is built atop Chromium, and thus shares a lot of similarities with Google Chrome. The preview brings Opera on the desktop in parity with the recent update to Opera for Android, bringing over features such as Discover for browsing through local news headlines. Stash, a new feature added to Opera, is a sort of visual Reading List for saving webpages you want to look at later. Opera Mail, once built into the dated Presto-based browser, has been split into a separate application which is also now available for preview.
You can download Opera Next 15 here. A release candidate of Opera’s new email client can be downloaded here.
