Opera releases Mini 4 beta

Opera has released a beta of the new version of Opera Mini, a mobile phone browser.

A free download from the Opera website, Opera Mini 4 is the latest product in the family that already has 15 million users worldwide.

According to Christen Krogh, vice president of engineering at Opera, Opera Mini 4 is not meant to adapt the web for the mobile phone, but to put "the internet as you know it" on your handset.

Rather than show websites in a specially adapted small-screen format, it presents the sites as you would see them on a PC, allowing you to zoom in and out. ..

Opera 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.

Opera 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 here.
