The wait is over. Opera Software has just released the alpha build of Opera 11 web browser.
The good news: it brings a little bit more than just extensions support.
The bad news: as of this moment, Opera extensions catalog is down.
Including already announced extensions support, alpha build also introduces:
- Opera Presto 2.6.37 engine, offering hundreds of bug fixes, enhanced Web Standards support as well as performance improvements and Websockets support.
- A new mail panel and bookmarks bar
- Enable plug-ins only on demand
- Updated installer
P.S. It looks like upgrade page has not been updated as well, as it still displays Opera 10.63 information after installation.
Update: Extensions catalog is now up.

Opera Enters Advertising Market
Back in January of 2010, Opera Software has acquired a mobile advertising company “AdMarvel”.
Ever wondered what could possibly come out of this? Today, company has announced its plans to join mobile advertising market with its cloud-based, “Open Mobile Ad Exchange” platform.
By using JavaScript technology, company pushes advertiser ads directly into Opera Mini served web pages.
As Opera Software co-founder Jon von Tetzchner said, “there will be ads where you’re used to seeing ads,”.
Although there are almost 70 million Opera Mini users worldwide, it’s still unclear how exactly the company will attract potential advertisers and whether or not this product becomes a huge success.
