Cool Opera 9.00 Final released

http://www.opera.com/download/

If you already use Opera 8, you can just install it in your current Opera folder (all your settings will be saved).

New features:

Quote:
BitTorrent

You don't need a separate BitTorrent application to download large files. Simply click a torrent link and start the download.
Okay, this is shit. By default, it automatically opens torrents in Opera, and doesn't even give you the option to use an external program. You'll probably want to turn this shit off by going to opera:config and unchecking the bittorrent Enable box.

Quote:
Thumbnail preview

It is easy to have many tabs open at once in Opera. But exactly which tab had that video you wanted? Hover your mouse on any tab to see a thumbnail preview.
I'm not sure how useful this is, but it doesn't bother me either.

Quote:
Add your favorite search engines

Right-click on the site's search field and select "Create search" from the menu.
Cool.

Quote:
Content blocker

Remove ads or images - it's up to you. Right-click (CTRL-click on the Mac) on the Web page and choose "Block content".
Well, I guess this is pretty useful. I don't know if I'll use it a lot, but many people probably will.

Quote:
Site preferences

Want to view a site in a different way or deny certain cookies? Want to block pop-ups on certain sites only? Right click and select "Edit site preferences".
A++.

Quote:
Improved rich text editing

Use advanced text editing features for today's most popular Web applications.


Quote:
Widgets

Small Web applications (multimedia, newsfeeds, games and more) that make your desktop experience more fun. Use the Widgets menu to discover new widgets and access your favorites. Visit widgets.opera.com to learn more.
I personally think widgets are mostly useless, but maybe you cool indie hipster dudes from Post Your Desktop will like it. For those that use pandora.com, there is a widget for it, but it's a bit buggy so far.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

naw dog, there are no problems with gifs. I don't know about embedded video, since I'm not a huge fan of myspace. sites like youtube and google video work fine, tho.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I use it for mouse gestures and the cool little built-in notepad (very useful, but often overlooked feature).

It is also much more easily customizable (visually), and I can make my bookmarks look like favicons and put them at the bottom of the window

().

Also, the built-in download manager is better, since (a) it doesn't take up a seperate window, and (b) it actually lets you resume downloads.

Also, it keeps recent pages in the cache, so the page isn't automatically reloaded every time I click Back, which is very convenient.

Also, it automatically saves the current session, so if I close the browser, the next time it will automatically open all the sites I had open before.

Other than that, I have used Opera for four years now. It had all the cool features before Firefox kind-of borrowed them. Either way, I see no reason to switch, especially since Firefox is slower and clunkier.

Firefox does do some things better than Opera, but generally it's simply not as good a browser, its creators were just better at marketing.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Just drag the site from bookmarks to the status bar. Then right click on it > Customize, and choose Style > Images Only.

Also, I forgot to mention, being able to hold down the right mouse button and click the left one to move Back (vice versa to go Forward) is the most useful mouse gesture ever, and once you get used to it, you'll never want to use another method.

Double Post:
Oh, one more thing, if you accidentally close a page, you can just choose Undo to open it back up. Very useful, especially if you don't have that site bookmarked.

How ya doing, buddy?

So the animated GIFs really do play too slow? I never noticed, I guess it's not really one of my priorities. To each his or her own, I suppose!

I was speaking idiomatically.

You can't, as far as I know. I personally think that it makes more sense for it to switch to the last viewed tab anyway. Well, it's just a question of habit, but I guess it would be good to have the Firefox way as an option, for people who are just switching and aren't used to the way Opera does it. But, yeah, I don't think it's possible to set it like that.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I agree that it should be an option, but, as I said, I think it's mostly a question of habit. I don't think it really makes much of a difference either way. By the way, you can also hold down the right mouse button and use the mouse-wheel to scroll between pages more easily.

FELIPE NO

I don't know if you think so.
