Opera 9 Beta 2 is available for download
Opera Browser ASA has launched the second and perhaps the last beta of their upcoming browser release Opera 9.
This major update to this tiny browser application introduces Widgets to the web users. These widgets are primarily downloadable web applications, which can be developed to perform various tasks.
Opera’s chief executive, Jon von Tetzchner spoke about this innovation: “Widgets are the same as any application you’ll find on the desktop, but because they are web-based, they’re easier to upgrade, which solves a lot of problems. And if you have multiple operating systems [running in your enterprise] you can run the widgets on all of them, because they are based on web standards.”
In addition, this update brings several improvements for usability, such as improved rich text editing, search engine customization, and thumbnail previews of opened tabs.
More details on Opera 9 Beta 2 can be seen in the Changelog. Download Opera 9 Beta 2 here.
