Opera 11.52 keeps the general design and functionality of the highly-praised Opera 11.10, but adds convenient improved features like an improved Speed Dial, Password Syncing across devices and a faster rendering engine. As for the the interface, Opera 11.52 features a slightly cleaner GUI with a focus on webpages instead of buttons and menus. Overall, Opera 11.52 isn't a huge change compared to the last version, but it has been improved with some nice new features.
Innovations and speed
The big innovation in the last version of Opera was extensions and while the choice of browser enhancements is still fairly limited, when you install or uninstall add-ons, you don't have to restart your browser like you do with Firefox. Opera 11.52 runs just as quickly as Google Chrome (the developer claims it's even faster) and the rendering engine has been tweaked slightly to offer an even faster browsing experience.
The forward-thinking Unite is still here, allowing you to share your stuff directly with friends and more. Visual Tabs and Tab Stacking is useful if you often have too many open, and there are now visual mouse gestures. These are well implemented, and accessed by holding the right mouse button which brings up a translucent guide to mouse gestures. This is a great introduction for people who've never used gestures, and hopefully allows for greater use in the future.
There's still an integrated mail client, which continues Opera 11's move towards doing everything you need in one application. The newest features or improvements of note in 11.52 are Speed Dial and Password Syncing. The most notable improvement has been to Speed Dial which instead of simply giving easy access to your favorite sites, now allows you to embed your Speed Dial with dynamic information - in other words, web apps within Opera. Meanwhile Password Syncing allows you to sync passwords across machines and devices - just sign-up for an account and Opera does the rest. There have also been some HTML5 improvements for developers such as Session History, Navigation and the W3C File API.
Conclusions
Opera 11.52 is a definite improvement on Opera 11.10 although the changes aren't revolutionary. However, if you're looking for a new browser, this is probably the most innovative currently on the market and is well worth installing.
