Opera 10 beta 2 web browser released for Windows, Mac, and Linux

The folks behind the Opera web browser continue their march toward Opera 10 today with the release of Opera 10 beta 2. The latest version of the browser includes a ton of bug fixes and a number of tweaks including:

• A "Synchronize Opera" button in the speed dial page
• A context menu to reload images in high quality
• Password manager with context-menu support
• Speed dial can have a custom favicon
• The Windows, OS X, and Linux skins have been updated

You can read the complete list of updates for the Windows, Mac, and Linux versions for more details. If you're wondering why Opera Unit, the new web-server-in-a-browser tool hasn't been included in the latest beta, it's because the developers haven't deemed it beta-worthy yet. But you can download a custom build of Opera 10 beta 2 that comes with Unite if you want to give it a try.

I also noticed another nifty feature today. I have no idea how long Opera has been able to do this, but I discovered when I was trying to create the screenshot at the top of this post that Opera 10 beta 2 will automatically resize images when you resize the browser window. This makes it easy to fit an entire web page into your browser without the need to scroll left and right no matter what size the window is.
