Opera 9 TP2 Released!

[carpediem]

The popup blocker is changed???

Anyone can tell me if now i can set a list of web site that always show popups?

Bye

Right click the page on the site you want to have a separate rule for, then choose "site preferences" <-- this feature ROCKS!

I still don't get the whole widget thingie. If I want widgets, I'll use Yahoo Widgets, or something. What I would've loved seeing is some sort of extensions support. As much as I love Opera, I have to use Firefox, due to their Performancing and Imageshack extensions, which work so well for blog posting

Supporting ad-blocking by default will result in damnation from every content provider out there.

? But it already does. And I think it's powerful enough for most. I doubt many really need much more than wildcarded ad blocks that supports Flash blocking.

A bit surprised they included the Bittorrent search engine. Isn't this going to increase awareness of Bittorrent and what you can find to download. I think Opera is going to have to remove that or they could be setting them up for legal issues, no? :huh:

Bittorrent is nothing lillegal you know. The search engine is for legal torrents anyway, and there should be no problems with that.

Yes I know bittorrent technology is legal, and there are many products which take advantage of the sharing capabilites. But that doesn't mean that it can't be used for illegal activities and anyone can tell you the illegal outweighs the legal content.

Edit: "The search engine is for legal torrents anyway"

Really.. :huh:

Let me ask you... Do you think you can find illegal stuff by googling too? ;)

Let's not turn this thread into an entirely different topic.

Yes you can use Google for the same purpose, but it still doesn't justify including BT or the search engine. Esp when Google isn't a file sharing program :rolleyes:

But on topic, great release, can't wait for the fianl. Love the new preview tabs feature :D

FFX :shiftyninja:

Opera Show is a nice little add-in, not bloat folks because it uses HTML for Web presentations. Try it, go to:

http://www.opera.com/support/tutorials/operashow/

and press F11 for a powerpoint-like slide show. I guess this is good for students who dont want to buy powerpoint or download Openoffice.Now they need to include this in Opera mini for your USB pen so you can show the presentation at school if you dont have a laptop or the school doesnt have Opera.

They even have a generator for it:

Is there a way tomake the mail feature look like outlook does with the reading pane on the right side of the browser?

[aberflasm]

OOPS! sorry for the double post.

[Tommy2k4]

Found a new thing:

Right click a tab, "Lock Tab".

Prevents any tab from being accidentally closed! :D

This has been there since at least preview 1, dunno how many versions ago it came in

[guru]

Opera finally seems have (ntlm)proxy support but for some reason it doesnot accept my username and password :(

[Quillz]

It must be new to Opera 9, since it wasn't in 8.5.

[phend-one]

Anyone know what the timeline is like until Opera 9 Final is released?

Are they planning on doing another TP?

What the heck is the point of having widgets if they're always on top and close when the browser does? I really hope they didn't spend too much time on implementing them...

It's a just a preview... They will most likely improve it until final. Possibly make them visable when hiding Opera (CTRL+H).

[ObiWanToby]

I'd like to see Opera handle RSS feeds like IE7 does, then Opera would be perfect!

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

hmm I have in installed over the older version 9 but now for some reasons, the ads arent collapsed anymore

There are some white square where the ads were

I'm seriously considering just using Opera rather than FireFox. The only thing stopping me is adblock for FireFox. Other than that I'm loving Opera. Just recently discovering ways to customize it like the search bar engines and organizing and adding a separator. heh.

I hope perhaps someday FireFox and Opera can unite and form Foxpera! Dun dun duuuuuuuuun

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

does anyone have the same problem I have by not collapsing blocked ads?

[david622]

ahhh finally a new version!

it's great! i've been waiting for the in-browser custom-search for a looonng time. opsed was a pain in the ass to use, closing/opening opera etc.

and the widgets look great! i'm looking forward to a larger selection though.

Uhh do you mean blocking ads by using a filter.ini or is there some new way I don't know of?
