Kestrel Beta 2

By EspenAO. Thursday, 24. April 2008, 08:38:23

Speed, security and performance do matter. We've made our browser even faster. The new beta is quicker to start, faster at loading web pages, and better at running your Web applications.

Download Opera 9.5 beta

Digg it!

Quick find

Forgot the page where you found that great article, or that funny picture? Opera remembers the actual content of the Web pages you visit. In the address bar, just type one word you remember, and find the page.

Stay safe

Not all web pages are who they say they are. In Opera 9.5, Fraud Protection is enabled by default and detects and warns you about fraudulent Web sites automatically. Support for Extended Validation certificates (EV) provides added assurance and trust for secure web sites.

E-mail enlightened

Opera's built-in e-mail client, M2, features improved responsiveness. It also retrieves and searches your mail and news feeds even faster than before.

Web developer tools

Opera 9.5 features a new and faster version of the browser engine Presto. This adds support for cutting edge Web standards and the upcoming Web developer tools.

Good show!

Can we expect the notes to show up on "my Opera" someday soon?
Would be nice if we could then add some when we're away from home and don't have Opera installed.

I want the final release, dammit

By D1sasterp1ece, # 24. April 2008, 19:34:49

no russian translation.
and some memory-using issues. on linux after 2-3 hours opera was usind over 400Mb. with no tabs opened and no pages loaded.
but the trends are good. usability is improved. good work.

By migatron, # 24. April 2008, 20:32:43

Thanks!

By 67shelby, # 24. April 2008, 20:59:15

By ylmorozov, # 24. April 2008, 21:24:15

Wow that's amazing, thank you!
