Last week a new browser was introduced to the world. This week, another Web browser makes its debut. Opera 9.6 beta is out today. The day is short and with features such as tabbed browsing, Speed Dial, customized search, Opera 9.6 beta is the Web browser that makes you faster.

What's new and improved

Opera Link in the Opera Web browser saves the day... and your settings! Move from your computer to your phone without losing your saved Web browser settings. Your bookmarks and Speed Dial will be ready and waiting when you start up your phone with Opera Mini.

We're also introducing a new feature called feed preview. This means that you can preview an RSS/Atom feed before subscribing. This is really cool and you can try it out even here on My Opera. If you're using Opera 9.6 simply click on the small RSS feed icon () located to the right in your address bar.

Opera Mail. A new feature in Opera Mail is "Low Bandwidth Mode" — a setting that makes Opera Mail use as little bandwidth as possible. There have been several improvements with our built-in mail client. Have a look at the complete changelogs: Windows | Linux | Mac.

Wallpapers are available for download and so are banners. Help us spread the word!

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.

Phishing is a form of online fraud to trick users divulging personal information, credit card numbers, or bank account details. Among all of the available sources of phishing data, Opera chose PhishTank, operated by OpenDNS and its community members who have shared their stories and experiences at Gift of Safe - a community collaboration between My Opera and OpenDNS. We support this initiative and want to encourage you to take part in helping us share information and increase the chance of eliminate phishing all together
