Opera 9.5 is now available

Opera redefines Web browsing yet again
New Opera 9.5 is beautifully engineered as the center-piece of a Web experience without boundaries
 
Oslo, Norway - June 12, 2008 - Opera Software today released to the world the final public release
of its flagship Web browser, Opera 9.5. Opera's cross-device expertise, support for open Web
standards and commitment to speed and performance culminate to create the most powerful Opera
browser yet. Making its desktop debut in Opera 9.5, Opera Link blurs the boundaries between
computers and mobile phones by enabling a seamless Web experience from device to device. Opera 9.5
for Windows, Mac and Linux computers is available free from http://www.opera.com/.
 
What's new in Opera 9.5:
 
Opera Link: Your bookmarks, Speed Dial and even notes taken in the Opera browser can follow you
anywhere. Opera Link keeps you synchronized between any Opera 9.5 desktop browser and Opera Mini,
Opera's free browser for your mobile phone. In Opera 9.5 write a note--copy directions, create
shopping lists or jot down anything you need to remember--and access it on
any Opera 9.5 browser simply by logging in.
  
Find anything: If you can remember a word from a page you've read earlier, you can find that page
easily with Quick Find. Just enter a word in the address bar to find matching text from any page
you have visited.
 
Looking sharp: Opera makes a move to modernize its look and feel with a sharp, new skin with clean
lines and clear icons. The 'New Tab' button and other elements have been modified to make the
switch to a better Web experience more intuitive. You may also select any of our platform-specific
skins to to adapt Opera's appearance to your operating system of choice.
 
Strengthened defense against malware and phishing: Opera's Fraud Protection not only protects you
from fraudulent Web sites, but also is now the first publically-available browser to protect you
from malicious software on the Web. Powered by Haute Secure, Netcraft and PhishTank, Opera's Fraud
Protection technology automatically blocks offending Web pages to keep you out of harm's way.
 
Speed: Opera continues to lead in performance. Opera 9.5 makes dramatic speed improvements to the
e-mail client, RSS feeds and the browser itself, so you can spend more time getting things done
online.
 
Of course, Opera 9.5 includes many features Opera users have already come to know and love. Speed
Dial, notes, the ability to save and restore browsing sessions after you close the browser, a trash
can for accidentally closed tabs or e-mails, mouse gestures and many others bring a fresh approach
to browsing the Web.
 
Opera is unique in its ability to provide a faster and more efficient use of the Web. Technlogies
like mouse gestures, sessions and keyboard shortcuts quickly become second nature. The efficient,
multi-layered Opera caching system, means less time spent waiting and more time spent browsing.

"Opera 9.5 represents the culmination of two years spent listening to our community and
transforming our browser to add features and  capabilities they have requested," said Jon von
Tetzchner, CEO, Opera. "Opera 9.5 offers new possibilities and capabilities. It's faster, lighter
and pushes us further out in front of other browsers, by blending the mobile and desktop worlds
together in new and powerful ways. We invite everyone to join us as we continue to shape the way
the Web will evolve."
