Opera Desktop 9.5 Beta 2 (Kestrel) out now!
Speed, security and performance do matter. We've made our browser even faster. The new beta is quicker to start, faster at loading web pages, and better at running your Web applications.
Quick find
Forgot the page where you found that great article, or that funny picture? Opera remembers the actual content of the Web pages you visit. In the address bar, just type one word you remember, and find the page. 
Stay safe
Not all web pages are who they say they are. In Opera 9.5, Fraud Protection is enabled by default and detects and warns you about fraudulent Web sites automatically. Support for Extended Validation certificates (EV) provides added assurance and trust for secure web sites.
E-mail enlightened
Opera's built-in e-mail client, M2, features improved responsiveness. It also retrieves and searches your mail and news feeds even faster than before.
Web developer tools
Opera 9.5 features a new and faster version of the browser engine Presto. This adds support for cutting edge Web standards and the upcoming Web developer tools.
