This isnt an upgrade for the alpha builds. It's to be installed over 9.23 not 9.5. New alpha is out as well, although Gmail is not working in that one. :)

This is the first time I've used Opera since V8, and I must say I am impressed. The Speed Dial is one of the few actually innovative features in a browser I have seen in quite some time. The home page is almost always useless as I usually go to different places when I start my browser, but this is very nice. Speed Dial makes so much sense, I'm surprised no one thought of it before.

Yeah, I thought I'd try Opera again this time around. Very fast, I love it. However, due to the lack of extensions I need, I can't exactly make this my default browser just quite yet. Thumbs up though. (Y)

And the idea has been copied to Maxthon and Firefox plug-ins :)
