Oslo, Norway - April 20, 2006
Opera Software today announced the first public Beta of Opera 9. This version includes Widgets, small Web programs running in their own windows that are fun, easy-to-use and live on users' desktops. The Opera 9 Beta also features support for BitTorrent, a popular file downloading technology, in addition to an easy-to-use content blocker and thumbnail previews of tabbed sites.
And yes, Opera remains available free of charge.
"We're proud to release this Beta of Opera 9 to Web users around the world," said Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. "Opera 9 brings powerful new features to enhance the Web browsing experience and empower Web 2.0 developers. Opera 9 unlocks new levels of productivity for the Internet ecosystem."

- Customize your search engines - Use your favorite search engine in the search box. Right-click on the site's search field and select "Create search" from the menu

- Site-specific preferences - Do you need to view a site in a different way or deny certain cookies? Want to block pop-ups on certain sites only? Site specific preferences hold the key

me he ausentado unos dias ya que me he enfermado, otra vez, de gripe, mi talón de Aquiles, hablaré de mi vida pronto, solo que vine rápido a checar unas cosas y me encontre con esta noticia y le daré la promoción que merece, nos vemos luego, cuando me alivie ^_^.
PD #1: El instalador "Opera 9 Beta Eng Setup.exe" me causó problemas, me afectó parte de mi previa instalación, no me borro nada, excepto mi acceso directo en el escritorio pero no podía ejecutarlo, todo esto se arregló con el otro instalador, el "Opera 9 Beta Classic Setup.exe", tal vez haya incompatibilidad con los instaladores pq instalé las versiones Pre-beta 9 con el clásico, eso se arregló, pero demas problemas que me aquejan en Opera 9 no han sido resueltos :S, más info luego.
