What is Opera 'Next'?
Eik
blog.
'Opera Next' is described as a stand-alone installation of Opera 11.5, so
what's the difference between this and simply installing it to a separate
directory from your normal installation - something loads of users
including myself have been doing for years?
I have custom menus to launch the current page or any hovered links in
other browsers on my system (including all the Opera installations), so I
assume something like this is now part of the 'Opera Standard' menus, but
is that all Opera Next is?
What might be useful to developers is the ability to install a development
build as an extension so that you can right-click on a tab in your
existing installation and have that tab run the new rendering engine,
javascript interpretor, etc, without the mail, RSS and chat components
being visible. But then, I suppose, you run the risk of those components
not being tested enough before release.

The default install is a new directory, a separate installation all
the way through. I would assume your menus can be copied over just like
any other settings file.
