Opera 48 Beta: Time zone and unit converters, snapshot and more

Opera 48 today reached the beta branch. It features a handy screenshot tool which allows you to capture a portion of the opened page or the entire page. Besides this change, it comes with a lot of  improvements to the built-in converter tool for units of measurement and time zones.

The first beta build of Opera 48 comes with 14 units of measurements and 16 time zones available in the conversion tool. A simple highlight of the value will convert the value from metric to its imperial equivalent, or vice-versa. With the time zone converter, highlighting a faraway time zone will adjust it to your local time (or your system’s operating time zone). it also supports 32 currencies.

The unit converter can now recognize an array of Unicode subscript and superscript forms, such ½ ft, 1⁄4 mi or even ³⁄₄₇ gal.
