New Opera 9.5 "Kestler" alpha

EDIT [en]: A good friend of mine noted that I haven't placed link to the best czech (as I'm from the Czech Republic) website about Opera - so here it is www.operacesky.net

EDIT [cz]: Jeden kamarád poznamenal, že bych sem měl dát link na nejlepší českou stránku o Opeře - takže tady je www.operacesky.net


Opera has released new 9.5 version of their browser. This version is only in alpha stage of development, so don't install it over the current version, because 9.5 is not yet for daily use. This post is already written form the 9.5. The hugest difference I noticed after several seconds of browsing is much improved speed, but there is list of other major changes:

  • rewritten ECMAScript (JavaScript) engine
  • history search (when typing address, your history is full-text searched for words you type in address bar)
  • synchronization with Opera server (every Opera on every computer you use will have the same bookmarks, speed dial, etc.)
  • restoring closed windows
  • 64bit version for Linux
  • VoiceOver support on MacOS X
  • mail improvements (underhood)
