Opera browser 9.50 beta 2

Speed, security, and performance matter.

The Opera Desktop Team has released yet another beta of their Opera browser. With this latest beta the team has added support for:

  • Notes synchronization via Opera Link.
  • Spatial Navigation! Links are now highlighted blue by default when they are selected.
  • Extended Validation (EV) certificates support has now been added! This means that Opera will visually alert you of sites that are EV safe as well as the usual “secure” sites.
  • Fraud Protection is now turned on by default in beta 2! The included fraud protection has matured enough to be enabled by default now!
  • Full text history search! If you can’t remember the address a page you viewed last week, but you can remember what it’s about then you can now just type in some keywords in the address bar and Opera will list pages that you visited previously with matching content! It’s amazing!
  • Alternative tab-closing behaviors. The preferences now include the following options when closing a tab:
    • Activate the last active tab (default).
    • Activate the next tab.
    • Activate first tab opened from current tab.
  • Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right for Back and Forward are no longer specific to Mac, but also apply to Windows/Unix.
  • Any many more! To view the full changelog since Opera 9.5 beta 1, click here.
