The new build of Opera Next, 1076, doesn’t introduce groundbreaking features. This time around, the Norwegian company is focusing on a better way to manage your bookmarks.

They added a little star element in the address bar, which allows you to quickly bookmark a web page or add it to speed dial. Just like in Chrome and Firefox, the star will light up when the site you visit is already present among bookmarks or on the speed dial.

Under-the-hood modifications have also been made, as the XML parsing error has been eliminated by automatically reparsing the document as HTML.

Windows and Mac users can now specify an absolute path to a folder that contains the Opera profile for a session, using the “–pd” argument.

It may look pretty stable, and moves incredibly fast, but Opera Next is designed for developers and testers and it is not recommended as your default web browser.
