Opera 51 Development Kicks Off Based on Chromium 64, Updates Private Mode on Mac

That’s right, development of the Opera 51 was kicked off, and it’s based on the latest Chromium 64 open-source web browser. The Opera 51.0.2776.0 developer snapshot is out with support for remembering pinned tabs after a restart, which appears to work even if you choose the “Open a specific page or set of pages” or “Open the start page” options. In addition, Opera 51 promises to redesign the private mode window for users of the macOS operating system to make it look more like the rest of the web browser’s design. On top of that, there’s now also a new animation you can see in the screenshot gallery below that will appear each time you open the private mode, though it can be easily disabled if you use private mode a lot.
