Opera Desktop Browser 9.5 is Final - Take your stuff with you

Just a day after launching a release candidate of Opera 9.5, the Opera team has pushed out the final version of their new desktop web browser.

Opera is all over the place with their releases, and focuses as well. The company loves mobile devices, and at one point stated that Opera wanted to be on any device that you can plug in. We’d love to browse on our toaster. We lose an important few minutes of productivity in the kitchen every morning.

The latest version of Opera has some features that 9.2 didn’t have though, so here goes nothing:

• Opera Link - Hardcore users of Opera use features like speed-dial, note taking, and of course bookmarks. Now you can sync them with your mobile if you use the very popular Opera Mini browser on your phone.
• Quick Find - search for anything on any page you’ve visited.
• Updated skin - This is the one that made us wonder if Opera is has re-invested themselves into the Desktop market. The buttons are sharper and it’s more Firefox like now.
• Opera’s Fraud Protection - This got an update. Opera likes to talk about how they guard you against phishing and spamming, and say they’re the only browser with these features built in.

And it’s faster - So fast it sings we like to say. Operaphiles say that it’s the lightest browser on any platform. What do you think? Tell us in the comments!
