Anyone could find it if they looked in the FTP server. If they post it in a publically accessable location, and announce it to people, I can't see why they would be angry.

Well congrats then, you just announced Opera 8 Beta 1 to the world! :happy:

Yes, to the whole wide world!

Look how Tibetans are celebrating the revolutionary Opera 8 Beta One!

Edit: I cannot resist it anymore. I just have to go out and celebrate with all these people on the streets!

:rolleyes:

Awesome!!! Has 7.60 even been released yet?

EDIT: Just installed it, but what is new?  I looks identical to the 7.60 build.. did they just rename it?  Being labeled 'beta' rather than 'alpha' I was looking forward to something visibly new.

No. 7.60 hasn't been released yet. At least not the final version.

Don't do beta's myself, but always glad to hear Opera is keeping up with the Jones'!! Or, is that keeping ahead? :woot:

Opera 8.0 Beta 1 = Opera 7.6 Beta 5

There were rumours that this was going to be the new name for a while, but now I guess we can call it verified.

A new version is going to be uploaded tomorrow, along with the changelog.

Oh yeah, downloading now. Hopefully the download manager is fixed.

what do you mean by collapsible ad? no ads when no page is open? how does that help in any case! :) please explain.

on the brighter side... here is a good news.

Opera 8 is most likely to have no upgrade fee. and even better... One license is valid for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, OS/2 and Psion.

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
