Opera 10 is a really impressive browser (in my opinion). It may not be to everyone's tastes, but it's full of useful tools and is very fast. A common criticism of Opera is the lack of browser extensions, like the ones that make Firefox such a customizable beast.

Well, that's going to change with Opera 11. According to the official Opera blog, extensions are coming, and they will look very much like the add-ons we're already used to.  They are trying to make it easy for developers to port extensions from 'certain browsers' - which I hope means Firefox! Otherwise, Opera extensions will have quite a mountain to climb to catch up with the rest.

The Opera 11 Alpha release is 'coming soon', and we'll be sure to give you our impressions as soon as we get our hands on it.
