Topic: Opera 9 TP2 Released, now with built-in adblocking & torrents!

Changelog (Windows)
Download

Also available as MAC + LINUX builds.

And why am I posting this? Well, there are just so many improvements in the browser, that you simply need to see it to believe it wink

I've just barely tested it, as it was released just a short while ago, but here are what I noticed immediately:

* Built-in ad-blocking!
* Bittorrent support!
* User-specific settings (CSS, Cookies etc.)
* Customize search dialogues from within the browser.
* WIDGETS...In a browser?! Yep, it's there wink

Oh, here's a little more informative summary: Link

I'm a happy, happy man today big_smile

Looking forward to trying this one out. I'm not sure about the torrent support though. Remember, "A program should do one thing and do it well".

If only Opera could use Windows built-in controls for textarea, buttons etc. Opera's own controls are ugly.

Let me give a try. Anyway i am using Opera just to Upload files. Rest is with FF.
