Opera 9: What's new

From Opera webbrowser wiki

Opera 9 was released on 20th June, and it's got a load of new features to help make not only your browsing, but your entire Internet experience better.

Contents

[edit] BitTorrent client

Opera can now access the BitTorrent file sharing protocol, to let users download almost anything directly from their browser. Just click a torrent link and Opera will download it directly.

[edit] Content blocker

You can now 'block' certain types of content (like ads or images) by right-clicking on the web page.

[edit] Thumbnail preview

This lets you see thumbnail previews of web pages in tabs when you've forgotten which tab your page is under. A very useful tool.

[edit] Widgets

You can now download widgets (small Web applications) to make your Internet a bit more interesting. Download them or find out more at widgets.opera.com.

[edit] Site preferences

Your Opera preferences just got a whole lot more flexible. Now you can set preferences for individual sites, rather than just 'global' settings.
