Opera 9 TP2 Released!


Recommended Posts

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

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:

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).

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

    • 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.
