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.
