If you’re one of the many users out there who are always choosing Opera instead of Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox for the daily browsing activities, you should be pleased to find out that a new preview version of the application is now available for download.

Opera Next 21.0.1432.39 is mostly supposed to bring bug fixes and performance improvements, so in case you’ve been experiencing issues with the previous versions, this is clearly a build that needs to be downloaded as soon as possible.

According to the official release notes, Opera should now override forced Windows 8.1 scaling when HiDPI support is off, while also implemented bug fixes affecting the speed dial tool and the bookmark manager.

The new build is also bringing some improvements for touch devices running Windows 8.1, so selecting items from the address bar dropdown menu should now be easier after deploying the update.
