Opera 9.6

Wednesday, October 8, 2008 7:00:49 AM

Good news, everyone! Today we launched Opera 9.6, which enhances the performance and flexibility of Opera's built-in e-mail client, while adding new features to Opera's free browser-synchronization service, Opera Link... Among other things. Also, Opera 9.6 is of course being shipped with features many of you already have come to know and love, such as Speed Dial (one-click access to your favorite site), session restore, mouse gestures, etc.

All these features and many others bring a fresh approach to browsing the Web with Opera 9.6.

Spread the word

To support this launch we've made a brand new video. We believe life is all about choices, so why not choose the best Internet experience for you? Anyway, we hope you will like our latest product releas and our new video. If you want to help spread the word, visit Choose Opera where you can participate in contests, get banners for your blog, decorate your desktop with a brand new wallpaper and meet other Opera-fans!

Downloading now

I think the unclearable PM announcing it is a bit cheeky, though

Krissaegrim # Wednesday, October 8, 2008 7:35:52 AM

Well done! Opera is the best and fastest browser. 9.5 was slow sometimes, as a program I mean. But now it works fine, and even better.
O, and many thanks for Ukrainian language support:yes:

Can I ask, do you guys tip Tamil off about when you're going to add a new post? He's consistantly quick.

Also can I say, kudos on the scroll marker, although I wish you gave the multi-option in the tools|pref menu. I much prefer the "Show Scroll Marker Always"--my previous way of doing this was just to highlight the text and scroll down, now I need to kick that habit--but I couldn't see the option of doing this in the menu after playing about with the config page.
The "2" option is much better. And if I'm going to be honest I'm not quite sure on the reason for the option "1", "Show when at bottom."?

And the speed does appear to be slightl better...although I'm not sure if that's just the "new-browser-feel" it has?

None!

MartinSnapphane # Wednesday, October 8, 2008 8:17:38 AM

But that's what I like about Opera!

I want to download it, but someone is using my computer right now.

"Hey stop using my computer, i need to download new Opera. Go home and watch that opera show on the tv, not in my computer!"

Wirawan Winartowirawanwinarto # Wednesday, October 8, 2008 11:39:31 AM

Great! I am downloading.

Got Opera 9.6

Wirawan Winartowirawanwinarto # Wednesday, October 8, 2008 12:39:02 PM

I think it's funny to have Indonesian version

some words do not exist in Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian language)
such as : bookmark, widget, feed, wand, cookie...

so my Opera now looks like half Indonesian - half English

walterbugscout # Wednesday, October 8, 2008 12:58:39 PM

Got it

Dustin WilsonKhadgar # Wednesday, October 8, 2008 1:05:28 PM

Tamil's been beaten to the top post a few times, but that crafty booger is hard to top. Excellent news. I'll spread the word!

Ariesptnariesptn # Wednesday, October 8, 2008 1:25:46 PM

I think Indonesian version of Opera has been good.
How can you translate bookmark, feed, wand, cookie to Indonesian? No, You can't.

Example:
Bookmark -> Tanda buku
Feed -> Memberi makan
Wand -> Tongkat sihir
Cookie -> Kue

Those are so strange and people can misunderstand it.
So, I prefer Opera's current translation.

M.AMeek29 # Wednesday, October 8, 2008 5:37:10 PM

HEy I have a problem, my opera doesn't tell me he wants to update so I have to install 9.6 manually and it won't update. I tried synchronize, it's great and all but are there anyway I can update my 9.5 ? Thank you in advance

H82typ # Wednesday, October 8, 2008 5:49:02 PM

Oh, just great!

Whose idea was it to put that notice above the pm's?

When will it go away, and -just for shits and giggles- does anyone have a Youtube link for the video? I can't view it on my phone...

M.AMeek29 # Wednesday, October 8, 2008 5:54:26 PM

M.AMeek29 # Wednesday, October 8, 2008 6:46:37 PM

Can I update my old opera to 9.6 but keep all settings ??

Thank you, Opera. The best birthday present I could have gotten

Coleman Waitecwaite # Wednesday, October 8, 2008 7:33:35 PM

9.6 is broke and I can't figure out how to fix it. It was broke when I started up this AM so if if I was still in 9.5 it was broke in that also and 9.6 don't fixit.I have even uninstalled and done a new install. I still can not access any internet sites. I have to use IE, ugh, to get online to write this. All I get is an Opera notice "no registered application for this extension."

Do I really have to start using IE after using Opera since 1.0?

Please send help to cwaite1@neo.rr.com

oenka # Thursday, October 9, 2008 1:59:47 AM

South Korea is the user

Opera 9.6 version of speed and fast, very good

But is a bug in Korean

When the SPACEBAR to write the last letters will be subject to nureuge

For example) abc(SPACE) -> ab c
Example 2) (abc) -> (ab)c

Korean will use the yireotseup

Never is a bug in version 9.5
