05.12.2008First impressions: Opera 9.5 alpha a worthy contender
Opera has always defied conventional wisdom: in the past, the company was able to survive by selling web browsers when Microsoft and Netscape were
giving them away. More recently, the company shifted to giving away its desktop browser, pulling revenue from sales in the mobile arena and affiliate
deals integrated into the browser. The company has proven to be rugged and focused on quality.
Now, the company has released
alpha builds of the latest version of
their desktop product, Opera 9.5 (code-named Kestrel). While it doesn't quite add enough features to justify a full version number bump, it is a
welcome update for any Opera fan and may well get users of more popular browsers to take a second look. Despite being an "alpha" release, we've
found a solid improvement to an already very strong browser.

04.09.2007Opera Gears Up to Release Opera 9.5 Alpha, with Several Upgrades
Opera is getting ready to launch its alpha version of Opera 9.5 tomorrow, and
some of the new features indicate that this upcoming release will prove to be significant.
The rendering engine for Opera 9.5,
nicknamed Kestrel, has been greatly improved, giving you better speed, better CSS3 support, and improved Ajax compatibility. This is the same
rendering engine that is used by Wiis Internet Channel browser, as well as Opera Mini 4 Beta. Site compatibility for Kestrel has also been improved,
as Opera has fixed bugs with Google and Wordpress sites, as well as issues with Javascript libraries.
For sites that still cant
be opened in the Opera browser, youre presented with the option to right-click in order to open it in another browser. This option is available for
some files as well, but full support hasnt been added for this feature just yet. Opera 9.5 also has the option to privately synchronize your
bookmarks, giving you access from any computer. Theres also a full history search option, which scours through URLs and text of sites youve already
visited.
In other Opera news, the
Opera
Mini 4 Beta has recently been released for mobile browsing. See more details on Opera 9.5 alpha

02.10.2007Opera improves bookmark synching in new browser beta
Opera Software has released a beta of its upcoming desktop browser, code-named Kestrel, which can synchronize bookmarks between a PC and a mobile
device. The update to Opera 9.5, released Thursday, also fixes "hundreds of bugs" that were in the alpha version, said Huid Kleinhout,
desktop team manager, in Operas desktop blog. "Web site rendering has been significantly improved, along with performance, stability and
usability," he wrote.
The synching feature, called Opera Link, can sychronize bookmarks between Operas mobile and desktop browsers.
When a person uses Opera Mini 4.5, a mobile browser thats also in beta, and the desktop browser, new bookmarks are copied to a server and made
available in both browsers. The bookmarks can also be accessed from any other browser by logging into the Opera Link Web page.

Rather than show
websites in a specially

10.05.2006Opera Promises Faster Surfing With New Browser
Opera Software, which is battling hard for market share with Google's Chrome, is promising users a faster surfing experience, an improved email
client, and better browser-synchronisation capabilities, with the latest version of its browser launched this week. bThe Norwegian developer says that
Opera 9.6 contains an expanded Opera Link. This means that users can more easily use their personal browsing identities on any computer. Essentially,
it synchronizes a user's browser history, bookmarks and personal bar.
Opera has also tweaked its built-in email client, Opera Mail,
with a feature designed for users stuck with a slow broadband connection. The email client's "low-bandwidth mode" allows users to retrieve mails
faster when bandwidth is limited. Opera Mail also contains a new feature that will help users swamped with email overload, as the email client now has
two new ways to prioritize emails, so that users can easily (with a single click apparently), track important threads, and ignore less important
ones.
