Opera releases beta for Mac OS X

Norwegian browser maker Opera Software has released a "beta," or test, version of its Opera 5 browser for the Macintosh OS X operating system. Opera released a second beta for the Mac in July, but not for OS X. Features in the new beta include auto-completion of URLs, a new button set designed for the OS X user interface, and ways to move back and forth between search engines. The browser can be downloaded from the Opera Web site.
