Opera is demonstrating upcoming version of Opera 12 with hardware acceleration, which will be supported on Windows, Mac and Linux platforms. The company originally planned to introduce acceleration in its 11th version of its browser but put it on hold for the simple reason that they intend to offer full acceleration across all platforms.
In addition to the acceleration , it will include a new page navigation system that replaces scrolling with touch or mouse swiping, direct support for webcams, new theme features which includes enabling and creating one of your own!
The first alpha version of the browser is expected to be unveiled on the 13th of this month.
