Opera Software today released to the world the final public release of its flagship Web browser, Opera 9.5. Opera’s cross-device expertise, support for open Web standards and commitment to speed and performance culminate to create the most powerful Opera browser yet. Making its desktop debut in Opera 9.5, Opera Link blurs the boundaries between computers and mobile phones by enabling a seamless Web experience from device to device. Opera 9.5 for Windows, Mac and Linux systems is available free from www.opera.com. What’s new in Opera 9.5:

What’s new in Opera 9.5:

Opera Link: Your bookmarks, Speed Dial and even notes taken in the Opera browser can follow you anywhere. Opera Link keeps you synchronized between any Opera 9.5 desktop browser and Opera Mini, Opera’s free browser for your mobile phone. In Opera 9.5 write a note copy directions, create shopping lists or jot down anything you need to remember and access it on any Opera 9.5 browser simply by logging in.

Find anything: If you can remember a word from a page you’ve read earlier, you can find that page easily with Quick Find. Just enter a word in the address bar to find matching text from any page you have visited.

Looking sharp: Opera makes a move to modernize its look and feel with a sharp, new skin with clean lines and clear icons. The ‘New Tab’ button and other elements have been modified to make the switch to a better Web experience more intuitive. You may also select any of our platform-specific skins to to adapt Opera’s appearance to your operating system of choice.

Strengthened defense against malware and phishing: Opera’s Fraud Protection not only protects you from fraudulent Web sites, but also is now the first publically-available browser to protect you from malicious software on the Web. Powered by Haute Secure, Netcraft and PhishTank, Opera’s Fraud Protection technology automatically blocks offending Web pages to keep you out of harm’s way.

Speed: Opera continues to lead in performance. Opera 9.5 makes dramatic speed improvements to the e-mail client, RSS feeds and the browser itself, so you can spend more time getting things done online.

Of course, Opera 9.5 includes many features Opera users have already come to know and love. Speed Dial, notes, the ability to save and restore browsing sessions after you close the browser, a trash can for accidentally closed tabs or e-mails, mouse gestures and many others bring a fresh approach to browsing the Web.

Opera is unique in its ability to provide a faster and more efficient use of the Web. Technlogies like mouse gestures, sessions and keyboard shortcuts quickly become second nature. The efficient, multi-layered Opera caching system, means less time spent waiting and more time spent browsing. Discover Opera for yourself today.
