It has also revised the interface of Opera 10 and with some help from designer Jon Hicks it has come up with a whole new and fresh user interface that offers some new graphical elements but also new functions. Among others a new tab manager than can be extended so that the tabs forms previews of the site in question, instead of just a headline.
