Opera is one of the many Android browsers that users can install from Google Play Store. Lots of Android users prefer this particular application because they are using it on the desktop as well.

On top of that, it offers some features that no other browser includes. It's also faster than many other Android browsers and that's thanks to the many updates and improvements developers have been releasing.

All the new features are tested through a beta program before they are included in the general release. You only have to download Opera Browser Beta and you will be able to take advantage of the latest features and improvements added by developers.

Today, the beta version of Opera Browser has been updated with a handful of new features and tweaks, which are meant to enhance users' browsing experience.

New progress bar and tab synchronization come to Opera Browser

The most important improvement seems to be the addition of 64-bit support, which will definitely make Opera run faster on smartphones and tablets equipped with this type of chipsets.

Furthermore, developers have confirmed they have upgraded to Chromium 42 and that Opera Turbo will replace the Off-road mode. There's also a new progress bar included and the Text wrap function has been further enhanced.

The changelog also mentions that Opera Browser Beta for Android now features tab synchronization, which adds a new view for synced tabs and a new layout in Tab manager.

Last but not least, developers have confirmed that various stability and usability improvements have been included in the updates as well, but no additional details have been shared on any of these.

If you don't have the app installed yet, you can now download Opera Browser Beta for Android for free via Google Play Store. The application should be fully compatible with all devices powered by Android 2.3 and up.
