The major highlights of this release are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Private Browsing:<\/strong> Evenes not only incorporates Private Browsing, which has become a common feature in modern browsers, but also takes it to the next level by adding Private Tabs. Any browsing activity performed in a Private Window\/Tab is not remembered.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Windows 7 Support:<\/strong> Opera 10.5 integrates tightly with Windows 7 and supports taskbar tabs as well as jumplists.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Refined Skin:<\/strong> Evenes takes full advantage of Aero effects and merges the menu bar with the title bar to conserve space. There are numerous user interface tweaks all around. Dialogue boxes now appear as page overlays and Find In Page has been improved to make it easier to spot what you want.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improved Widgets:<\/strong> Widgets in Opera 10.5 are installed as independent applications and can be used even when Opera is not running.<\/li>\n<li><strong>HTML5 Video Playback:<\/strong> Opera for Windows supports native video playback using the open source Ogg Theora codec.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cache.techie-buzz.com\/images\/posts\/pallab\/o_105_beta_win.jpg\" alt=\"Opera-10.5-Beta-Windows-Screenshot\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although development for Windows has been prioritized, Opera hasn\u2019t ignored Mac and UNIX users.
