New features such as Opera Link and an unmatched security system are packaged in a sharp, trim UI to set Opera apart from other browsers - and take full speed ahead in leading other Opera-powered devices into a best-in-class Web experience, that only the standards-support and technology leading Opera browser can deliver.

What's New

Opera 9.6 improves on Opera 9.5 with enhancements to convergence and communication.

Convergence

Opera Link, Opera's browser synchronization service, now synchronizes typed browser history and your customized search engines in addition to notes, bookmarks, your Speed Dial and personal bar. To learn more about Opera Link, see below.

Communication

Opera Mail, Opera's built-in e-mail client, now features "low-bandwidth mode" to facilitate working while on a network with limited connectivity. To enable low-bandwidth mode, click under the Mail menu option. Opera will then download only the minimal amount of data necessary to retrieve the e-mail.

Opera Mail also allows you to follow or ignore contacts or e-mail threads. Simply right click on a thread and choose Follow/Ignore to follow or ignore threads. You can follow or ignore contacts by right-clicking on a contact in the Contacts panel (see more about panels below) or right-clicking on a contact name in any e-mail.

When subscribing to an RSS feed, Opera now displays the feed in a two-column layout so you can see the content before you choose to subscribe
