Opera 9.50 Beta 1 - Full Featured Internet Browser

Opera 9.50 Beta 1 (Windows, Freeware, 4.2MB) [download via Filehippo] is a full-featured Internet browser that includes pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing, integrated searches, and advanced functions like Opera's groundbreaking E-mail program, RSS Newsfeeds and IRC chat.

Also available for Linux.

Changes:

  • Bookmarks, Personal bar, and Speed Dial data can be synchronized with other instances of the browser via the File > Synchronize Opera menu option; the most recent Speed Dial data will always be used when synchronizing
  • Redesigned Address bar drop-down displayed when entering text in the Address bar:
    • Includes excerpts from previously visited pages
    • Improved visual design
    • Orders entries by popularity
    • Local file auto-completion

  • Closed windows are now also displayed in the Trash can and the Window > Closed menu
  • "Open with" functionality added to web page context menu and Transfer panel/page
  • Content blocking improvements
  • Added ability to save only the active window as a session (File > Sessions > Save This Session > Only save active window)
  • Added Undo for Speed Dial
  • Disabled dragging links/favicons to arbitrary toolbars (exceptions: Personal bar and opera: buttons); hold Shift or open the Tools > Appearances dialog to enable dragging
  • Fixed problem with multi-word bookmark nicknames
  • Wand will no longer block form submits, making it possible to see if login was successful before storing your login credentials
  • Default to saving as Web archives and remember format selection
  • Switch to title casing for menu text
