Вышла обновленная версия популярного браузера Opera. Это – один
из самых быстрых и гибких в настройке браузеров. Используя скины,
пользовательские панели и другие средства настройки интерфейса, его
внешний вид можно изменять до неузнаваемости. Программа позволяет "на
лету" отключать и включать графику, а также может похвастаться
фирменной технологией масштабирования веб-страниц, благодаря которой
пользователи браузера практически никогда не видят горизонтальной
прокрутки.
Opera started out as a research project in Norway's largest telecom
company, Telenor, in 1994, and branched out into an independent
development company named Opera Software ASA in 1995. Opera
Software develops the Opera Web browser, a high-quality, multi-platform
product for a wide range of platforms, operating systems and embedded
Internet products.
Opera is known as the fastest and smallest full-featured browser, a
first choice for people using older PCs and Windows 95 and a brilliant
alternative to the default IE from Microsoft. Opera, first of all, is
client World Wide Web, that is the program for extraction of the
information from WWW as the documents created with help HyperText
Markup Language (language of a marking of hypertext HTML).
Low requirements to resources of system. Opera will work even on 386
computer about 6 MB of operative memory. MDI the interface. You can
open without special expenses of memory any quantity of windows inside
one working window, having chosen thus a tabulared or cascade mode.
• The world's fastest...now even faster. Even though it's hard to imagine, we made Opera faster.
Following the release of Opera 9 last year, we re-wrote Opera's
rendering engine for the coming Opera 9.5 release. As a result, Opera
9.5 contains more than a year's worth of speed, standards and
performance improvements. Some enhancements include:
Some enhancements include:
* Faster and less-memory intensive ECMAscript engine
* A greatly improved layout algorithm
* The font-rendering speed is improved significantly, along with the tiling of bitmaps
* More responsive user interface
Internal benchmarks show up to 50 percent increase in speed compared to
the previous core version in Opera 8. But, performance is more than
just showing Web pages faster. Performance is about making your
browsing experience more enjoyable and productive. In the past, we
introduced much-loved and powerful features like Tabbed browsing, Mouse
gestures, Fast Forward and Rewind, Speed Dial all designed to make you
get more out of your time browsing the web. With Kestrel we add another
powerful feature to this family:
• Synchronize: The preview
Log in just once. Then access your stuff anywhere, anytime.
A new Internet revolution is under way and millions of people are now
surfing their favorite Web sites every day. But they're not just
browsing on their computers. Instead, they're browsing from practically
any device mobile phones, TVs, game consoles, PDAs. In fact, Internet
users today tend to browse from various devices throughout the day.
• Full History Search
Have you ever read something interesting, but then later struggled to
find your way back to that same small portion of a Web page? Now you
can say goodbye to that problem. With Opera 9.5, we introduce full
history search - search the complete Web pages you visited, but without
requiring you to bookmark them.
Unlike previous and other browser history searches which only look at
the URLs of the pages you have visited full history search searches the
actual content of the Web pages you have visited. When typing a
keyword, Opera 9.5 will automatically search the text of Web pages in
your history.
Moreover, we have directly integrated Full History Search into the URL
field of the Opera 9.5 browser, making it extremely easy and quick to
find what you're looking for.
• Status bar with Zoom and Image control
Opera's excellent zoom function and the bandwidth saving control of
images are now made easily available on the Status bar. Tip: Add your
own buttons like the developer console to the Status bar.
• Restore closed windows and changes in Speed Dial
Kestrel has an improved version of the much loved trash-can feature by
adding support for opening closed windows, not only the closed tabs.
You can also use the undo function now for Speed Dial.
• Improved BitTorrent™ performance
We added support for BitTorrent Peer Exchange to allow you to connect to more download hosts and improve your download speeds.
• Platform integration
We worked to make Kestrel feel even more integrated with your platform.
Mac users can expect a nice new visual look and feel, while Opera for
Linux will add a QT4 build, so you can easily adjust your skin to match
the desktop. 64-bit Linux/FreeBSD packages will also be available.
• VoiceOver support
Kestrel adds support for Apple's screen reader "VoiceOver" found in Mac
OS X 10.4 Tiger. This allows visually impaired Opera users to more
easily use all of the features in the browser. For more details, please
see: www.apple.com/accessibility/voiceover
• Skin
Our skins in Opera 9.5 feature improved conformance to Apple Human
Interface Guidelines. We have also added a new native skin with a
brushed metal appearance, for those of you in to that sort of look.
• Mail improvements
Kestrel features great stability and performance to Opera's integrated
email client, M2. We've added a new mail backend and new IMAP support.
M2 is also much faster than in previous versions of Opera.
Note to existing M2 users: Please be aware that you will need to
install this version on top of your existing Opera version to use this
version for mail. Opera will then re-index all your email, something
which can take several minutes if you have thousands of emails.
