Opera 9 released
Only one day late with this one: Opera have released Opera 9. I’ll shamelessly rip-off the summary of new features from Slashdot’s article:
The new version features correct ACID2 rendering, native support for the SVG Basic profile, a built-in BitTorrent client, support for Microsoft’s designmode and contenteditable extensions, per-site configuration, Atom support, Web Forms 2.0 support, Canvas support (and some Opera-specific extensions), NTLM authentication, some support of parts of CSS3 and lots more. The full changelog is available.

I haven’t looked at Opera since it used to have those banner ads in the free version. I’ve downloaded the new one and will give it a test run. It manages to look nice even though it used Qt (which I think generally looks ghastly).

Yeah, gotta agree about Qt looking ghastly. But the browser is nice. And an important player in the handheld sector.
