Opera fans rejoice. The very first beta of Opera 9.5 codename Kestrel has been released to the public. The biggest change is a new feature called Opera Link which offers a way to access all of your bookmarks and Speed Dial picks from one place. It does not matter if you
access the Internet with Opera 9.5, with Opera mini or another
browser, the bookmarks are always available.
If you do use Opera Link with Opera you can synchronize all bookmarks with Opera while other
browsers obviously only have access to the web version. The changelog lists a lot of changes since Opera 9.5 Alpha including heaps of changes to the Rendering Engine and
JavaScript / DOM.
Opera 9.5 beta seems to render websites faster than Firefox and
Internet Explorer. I could make another
performance test to see if the tests show that my subjective feelings are right.
