Opera Browser 27 Brings Back ‘Tab Preview’ Feature

Published: January 27, 2015

Opera Browser for Linux

Opera 27 for Linux has been announced today as its first stable release in 2015. The new release brings back the Tab preview feature and improves the navigation between Speed Dial, bookmarks and the Discover feature.

Now when you click to expand the tab menu (or press Ctrl+M on keyboard) and move the cursor over the tab names, you will also see the tab previews.

In addition, the navigation between Speed Dial, bookmarks and the Discover feature in Opera 27 has been moved to the bottom of the browser window so that you have more space at the top, and you can use the background of your choice without the previous fade-out effect.

Click to install the package via Ubuntu Software Center. During the installing process, it will add the Opera repository into your system so that you can receive future updates by running regular Ubuntu updates via Software Updater. Also, it will install the Pepper Flash Plugin to get flash working.

Tip:

I’ve installed Opera 24 on my 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 laptop, but it does not launch due to permissions issue (might be).

I can open it by running below command in terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) to open it via root:

sudo opera-developer

Or edit the .desktop file (sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/opera-developer.desktop) and change the exe command to make it look like:

Exec=gksudo opera-developer %U
