Opera 9.0 Released

Nurgled writes "After teasing us for months with betas and snapshots, Opera Software have finally released version 9.0 of their web browser. The new version features correct ACID2 rendering, native support for the SVG Basic profile, a built-in BitTorrent client, support for Microsoft's designmode and contenteditable extensions, per-site configuration, Atom support, Web Forms 2.0 support, Canvas support (and some Opera-specific extensions), NTLM authentication, some support of parts of CSS3 and lots more. The full changelog is available." p14nd4 adds "And for you *nix users, it hasn't hit their .deb repository quite yet, but there are regular installers available for the major players, including a fixed Ubuntu installer and an x86 Solaris version."

Acid Test

So, I guess once you can see that face on acid correctly in your browser you really have reached the end of the Internet, there is nothing more to see. Good bye, all the Opera users, it's been nice while it lasted.

Speaking of features, does anyone else have a problem with the models Opera selected to include in their marketing? Who are these idiots? It looks more like a bad Gwen Stefani video more than uber browser.

Maybe the correct approach is NOT to browse the sites that bother you with ads.

Sure, when your BROWSER can bother you with ads all by itself!

you're probably running windows 3.11 too, on a 486-33mhz with 16MB of ram.

I can't believe you can't be bothered touching the mouse, and yet you spend 5 minutes writing a diatribe about how "old school" you are.

back in my day, we didn't have these internet thingys. If we wanted to get news, we'd sit out on our porch and wait for the paper to be delivered. It was slow, and we liked it like that.

I swear by Opera myself.

What in Opera's name are you talking about?
