Opera just gets better and better with each release! All these features packed into such a small download, and even when installed and with many tabs open it still manages to keep a nice memory footprint.

Great job opera! Everyone should download and at least try it, it really does include all the great Necessities needed for a great browsing experience. :)

can i upgrade easily when the final is out ? or will it make a mess by making new directory ? im using opera 8.5 now

I would install it to c:\Program Files\Opera9

That way you can keep your old version intact while playing with this version. Don't think it's recomended at all to upgrade over the old one, so you better make a fresh install of version 9.

okay and when the final is out, just install it over c:\Program Files\Opera9 [let it overwrite] ?

Probably yes... But personally I wouldn't take the chance in case something happens. I would back up the old one, possibly just renaming the old opera9 folder and make a fresh install, then move stuff over that i want to keep either by directly copying them or using the export/import features.

double post, it didnt like the quick reply form, pressing "add reply" caused a 20 second delay, i pressed again, nothing then it posted twice. Oh well its early days

Personally i also dont see the point of widgets, in general. It just takes up to much of the screen. I cant get my head around why someone would want a huge digital clock or calculator on their screen?! :s

Using it right now. MY gripe is that i cant have the order of, address bar, links then tabs. I dont like the order its in. Apart from that, so far so good! :D

Yes you can.... Right click choose customize... Enable "Main bar", remove all buttons from it (right click, remove), then move all the buttons, including the address bar, google bar, by dragging it to the empty "Main bar", after you're done you can disable the address bar... Viola, you have the tab bar in the bottom :)

EDIT: Found video explaining it much better -> http://nontroppo.org/-/media/mainbar.htm

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
