OPERA 12 - INSTANT MAKEOVER
Good things come to those who wait. We are happy to announce that Opera 12 is finally here! This brand-spanking-new version of Opera is packed with themes and a multitude of other cool features to play around with. Get it now, fresh and tasty from our download servers!
Instant Makeover
With Themes, making Opera your own has never been easier. We have over 350 themes already, handily collected in our Themes Catalog. Want to see some of our top picks? It was hard to choose, but we put a few favorites on our download page as well, so no more excuses to bump along in a plain vanilla browser. Get ready to tour the internet in style!
Way faster and more stable than ever
64-bit support means that Opera is able to use your processor in a better way. The benefit for you is faster page loading, improved startup time and a better overall Opera experience. Another benefit is something called Out-of-Process Plug-ins. This makes plug-ins (such as Flash) run separate from Opera, so if any plugin crashes, Opera remains stable.
Updated address field
We have done a ton of updates to our address bar. The new drop-down suggestions should help you find exactly what you are looking for, the first time around. URL shortening in the address field is also a lot smarter. It will even show you page titles and a small page excerpt when searching!

Put yourself in the picture
Do you have a web cam on your computer? One of the coolest things Opera 12 can do is access your camera, letting websites snap a picture of you. The next time you need to set a profile picture of yourself, you don't have to bother uploading a picture from somewhere else - let Opera 12 do it instead! To see it in action, try updating your My Opera profile picture! Other exciting demos are available from our developer relations team on their new site Shiny Demos!
Full speed ahead
Hardware acceleration allows Opera 12 to render graphics using your graphics card (GPU). This makes animations and other graphics-intensive operations a lot faster. Note that this feature is disabled by default, so in order to use it you need to set EnableHardwareAcceleration to 1 in your Opera:Config. WebGL can be enabled by setting EnableWebGL to 1 as well.

Twelve under-the-hood improvements in Opera 12
Opera 12 has been released today! With Opera's new theming support it's easier than ever to dress Opera the way you like. But behind Opera's visual changes there are numerous of technical enhancements in Opera 12. Here are 12 of our favorite under-the-hood improvements in this release.1. Faster startup with many tabs
Previously it could take a while to start Opera if you had many tabs open. In Opera 12 tabs are loaded smarter; fewer at the time with those that are visible or recently accessed loading first. Opera now always starts up equally fast no matter how many tabs you have open.
2. Out-of-Process Plug-ins
Plug-ins are notorious for causing stability issues. In fact almost one third of all crashes in Opera are caused by plug-ins. In Opera 12 plug-ins are isolated in a separate process, when they crash all you need to do is reload the page.
3. Experimental Hardware Acceleration and WebGL
Opera 12 contains experimental support for full hardware acceleration and WebGL. While the stability and performance depends on the OS, drivers and graphics card, it is already available for testing. Enabling opera:config#UserPrefs|EnableWebGL allows you to test WebGL content and enabling opera:config#UserPrefs|EnableHardwareAcceleration makes not only the web page but the whole user interface being render via the graphics card. By accessing opera:gpu you can check the current status of Hardware Acceleration and WebGL. Using opera:config#UserPrefs|Preferredrenderer you can switch between OpenGL (0) and DirectX (1).
4. opera:cpu
Is something slowing down Opera or your computer? You can now easily check with opera:cpu.
5. Improved loading performance
In Opera 12 the loading of pages has been optimized to ensure that resources like scripts, style sheets and images are loaded more efficiently. The result: Faster loading of pages!
6. Improved performance on secure connections
When loading a secure page (https) the browser goes through a complex process to establish a secure connection. This exact steps in this process vary from web server to web server, depending on the certificates, version and implementation of TLS they support. For Opera 12 we've analyzed and optimized many of the different steps in this process. Overall many secure pages are now loading faster than before!
7. RTL
In each release Opera learns a new language. New in Opera 12 is the capability to support Right-To-Left languages which makes it possible to support Arabic, Persian, Hebrew and Urdu. With Kazakh in addition, Opera is now translated into 55 languages.
8. Improved HTML5 support
HTML5 is the heart and soul of the web. Opera 12 adds support for drag and drop, camera access (getUserMedia), css animations and more.
9. Improved extensions support
The windows/tabs extensions api has been revamped to include support for access to tab stacks. Check out dev.opera for more upcoming extension features.
10. 64 bit Windows and Mac
Opera 12 is now available in 64 bit for all platforms. Note that because 64 bit applications use more memory than their 32 bit equivalent, the default version of Opera for Windows will continue to be 32 bit.
11. Do Not Track
Opera 12 enhances you privacy by supporting the "Do Not Track" feature. You can enabled it in Opera's Preferences dialog (Preferences > Advanced > Security > Ask websites not to track me).
12. Improved address field suggestions
Based on feedback from you we've implemented numerous of tweaks to the address field making the suggested results cleaner, more accurate and more relevant.

La verdad que es raro porque únicamente actualice a la 12, al final me parece que voy a tener que instalarlo por completo. Voy a probar a meter el ratón en el portátil a ver si pasa igual.

Si que es raro, porque lo he probado en el de sobremesa y con el botón de la rueda si las abre a la derecha.
Es en portátil, cuando uso la tecla Crtl para abrir la pestaña no la abre de la mismo forma, también uso la extensión que te permite abrir pestañas apretando unos segundos el botón del trackpad y tampoco
