   Opera 9 released
Opera 9.0 was released earlier today. I have been using the weekly builds for some time and it's a really good browser. It's fast, stable and has excellent page zoom functionality.Some sites don't (yet) work with version 9 but this is mostly due to bad coding, not to limitations of Opera. In other words, Opera supports most stuff that Firefox/IE does.   
  Thanks for the reminder.   ;  *checks version*7.54, darn I'm far behindEDIT: now got version 8.5, and I think a version 9 package will soon be released for my distro. Thanks for the info![Edited by - Lode on June 20, 2006 4:10:57 AM];Quote:Original post by kanzlerSome sites don't (yet) work with version 9 but this is mostly due to bad coding, not to limitations of Opera. In other words, Opera supports most stuff that Firefox/IE does.and this is why I switched (from Opera) to FF in the first place...   ;  Great!And it works flawlessly on Vista!(well, 8.54 was working too...)EDIT:After the upgrade it seemed to work just fine.But after a restart, it turned out that over 3700 files in Opera cache were somehow corrupted. Don't know if it's Opera's or Vista's fault (probably an incompatibility).[Edited by - deffer on June 20, 2006 10:30:38 AM];  I'll have to upgrade.   ;  Thanks! Can you tell Opera to notify you when a new version (but betas/technical previews would be cool too) has been released? I haven't found anything in the prefs or opera:config.   ;  Woo! Opera! [smile]Those people in the installer and opera.com splash screen are creepy.EDIT: Mmmm... preview "panes" of your tabs on mouseover.   ;Quote:Original post by load_bitmap_fileThose people in the installer and opera.com splash screen are creepy.Yeah I went to their website to take a look and was met by a bearded man in a dress, some matrix nerd and a crossdressing asian businesswomen.

In other words, Opera supports most stuff that Firefox/IE does.Not to 'bump' an old post, but on this note, take the Acid 2 test with Opera, Firefox, and IE (in that order). http://www.webstandards.org/action/acid2/. Opera 8.54 did not quite pass. 9.0 passes with flying colors. I am not familiar with another browser that does pass??? (IE is just ridiculously bad)Also for new Opera users, check out Opera widgets. The touchtheSky (weather widget) is particularly nice, and makes Forecast-Fox look inferior (which it is).Also check out the search keywords. 2 I use frequently, not included with the default installation: Wikipedia (w): http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?search=%s&sourceid=Opera-search   and Dictionary (d): http://redir.opera.com/dictionary/?query=%sGo Opera ! ;)
