Opera 12 alpha features a completely redesigned browser engine aimed at running web applications and games more quickly and smoothly than ever. New features include:
Faster graphics with hardware acceleration
Although Opera's unique Vega graphics engine is already lightning fast, Opera is now using your computer's graphics card for extra processing power. This supercharged boost is called hardware acceleration and makes intensive web applications and games run even better.
To utilize hardware acceleration, Opera 12 alpha currently requires a graphics card, as well as OpenGL (Open Graphics Library). Further support, including DirectX, will come later.
To check whether your Opera 12 alpha installation supports hardware acceleration, type "opera:gpu" in Opera's address field.
New HTML5 engine
Instead of loading static images, the new HTML5 engine allows web applications to draw interactive graphics (SVG) directly on the page, making websites faster to load and more dynamic, as well as enhancing compatibility between browsers.
