Opera 9 gets tab thumbnails and widgets

Opera 9 tab thumbnails
This is pretty intriguing. Opera Watch has obtained some "exclusive" screenshots of some new features rumored to be in the upcoming Opera 9. First is tab thumbnails: when you hover your mouse over a tab in Opera 9, a thumbnail image of the page on that tab is displayed along with information like title and URL. It's a behavior similar to Tab Preview, a Firefox extension I mentioned a few months back. Second is widgets. Yes, widgets. Unfortunately we have pretty much zero details except that the'll be "small programs that use Opera's rendering engine," and the screenshot shows nothing but a "Show widgets" menu item. Opera Watch speculates that widgets might be Opera's answer to Firefox's extensions, which Opera's CEO might have been hinting at in a Slashdot interview last month.
