TAB PREVIEWS??? HOLY $|-|1T!!!

I figured AOL Explorer would be the first and only browser to use tab previews. I guess I was wrong!

Huzzah!

I mean I love AOL Explorer, but now that Opera has tab previews I will probably never return to AOL Explorer again.

Cool, didn't even realise it did that.

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

Thanks for that!! Its so simple when you think about it! Shame it doesnt work with roboform, i use that ALL the time. I dont really like the built in one. But heres a question..the passwords that opera stores..can they be saved and imported to another computer?

Not sure if it's possible... The data must be somewhere in there, but I have not personally found a import/export feature. Guess copying the whole Opera folder would work, in case you installed it with the option where all users use the same configuration, because otherwise I guess the features would be inside the documents and settings\USERNAME folder.

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

When Opera 9.0 final is out, you simply install it over 8.5 or the older versions.

Installing betas/previews over final versions or vice versa is not recommended.

Ok cheers.

Its been a long time since i used opera. And now i know why. Any website that uses the rich text editor thingy majig..well it doesnt work. All i see is the html code in a text box. Whats going on?? :(

Well, GMAIL shows that rich text forms is working, so it definately works :)

what are tab previews and how do i use it?

Some other nice things in this version

Site preferences - Enable per site rules such as javascript, cookies, plugins (flash), etc

Content Blocking - My current list looks like this:

In address field: opera:config , opera:cache , opera:history , opera:plugins

CTRL+ENTER now completes an address by adding http://www and .com around the word you type.

I hope they also add the "tab-thumbnail - view" of all the tabs like IE7. It's a nice feature.

Opera 9 have some good changes and improvements. I like the change of Wand and also the Content Blocker.

hi, if this is what you are talking about then it already has it.

oh i see, it's not that great a feature is it? I don't see the positive side to it. I actually thought it was something like IE7's quick tabs.

Yea its not the greatest of features. I cant see how it will become usefull. A bit like widgets. I cant help but feel there are more "nifty" add ons than praticle features. But i might be wrong ;)

Pretty impressed.

Blocked content rocks. Popup blocker is better. YAY! No more search.ini editing!

Widgets are a nice fad. They gotta get more widgets. The calc mouse over is nice! BT is there and it works.

I hope they develop that tab thumbnail preview so you can actually edit the code as to how it looks, information etc. They also need to add a user configurable function as to how long the mouse will rest before the thumb comes up. I can see it getting more useful in the future.

Proud of their developments. Glad I made the right choice in browsers when I went to 7.54 many moons ago.

I love Opera, it's my main browser, and mostly all I use. I actually just uninstalled TP1, forgot I had it, then I just now installed TP2, hadn't had much time to test it out, but it looks awesome to me, of course it would :). I don't know if I'll like the widgets, but they're there, doesn't mean I have to use them. Also this may be just me, but Opera seems to be the fastest browser for me, I can go clear all caches, history's, cookies, everything on all browsers, and Opera still loads so much faster. I am on a 5mbps down connection too.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
