If you're an Opera user, I've got some pretty exciting news for you. The parent company behind this browser has just rolled out a new developer version that comes with built-in Pepper Flash support, as developers continue work with Adobe on a Flash solution for the app.

Opera said in a blog post that users can try out the new Flash 14 Beta by simply going over to Adobe's website and downloading the latest release, with the Windows version of the browser currently the only one supporting it.

“Pepper Flash allows for a more stable method of running Flash, since each plugin is sandboxed. Opera has been working with Adobe to provide a PPAPI-based Flash solution for Opera users. This effort is not yet complete. Further work will be needed from both Opera and Adobe before Pepper Flash will be available to all, out of the box,” Opera said in a post.

The company has also confirmed some issues in this early build of Opera 24, including icons problems with Geolocation, Microphone and Camera on Mac, as well as cropped search suggestions on Windows.

Of course, power users and developers are the ones who should download this new version of the browser, so click the links below to get the package that's appropriate for your computer.
