They've released a Developer version of R3 today so thought to start a thread here for it ... maybe some will want to give it a try.

First Opera R3 developer release comes with new design;

There may be bugs etc. so if you're not sure then maybe best wait until the first Stable release. I've just downloaded and installed it so I'll have a mess about with it then maybe post more later on.

These are a couple of paragraphs from the blog post page ...

There is no other browser that comes close to Opera in terms of features and functionality, and we didn’t intend to make any compromises. What we’ve done with R3 is to refine our features and place them in a way that they are fully accessible without getting in your way. Our vision of minimalism is such that your browser is more functional for your daily use, not less" ....
