Opera has just pushed version 21 from the developer to the Next channels, so users are now provided with a new beta build of the browser which is currently available on Windows and Mac OS X.

As you know, Opera comes with Aura, the hardware-accelerated rendering engine of the browser that’s expected to debut for the first time in the stable version of Opera 21 expected to be launched next month.

“This enables less-taxing user-interface animations and a sleeker, more responsive feel to the whole UI. It also gives us a solid foundation on which to make future UI changes,” the developing team behind the project explained today.

At the same time, the new Opera 21 comes with changes that enable the browser to show the full URL in the address field, which makes it easier for users to track the pages that the application is loading.

If you’d like to enable this option, go into the advanced settings screen and enable the show full URL option in combination with search and address bar in the user interface options menu.

All in all, the new Opera 21 clearly deserves a try, so hit the download links below to get the build that works on your computer and give the new version of try right now.
