It has also introduced Web Bluetooth in the beta that lets you control Bluetooth devices through the web. This feature is not enabled by default; you have to go to opera://flags if you want to enable it. Since some are experiencing issues with pull-to-refresh, a flag in opera://flags has been added if you want to disable it.
