Opera 9.27 Build 8841 Final

Opera is known as the fastest and smallest full-featured browser. The most full-featured Internet power tool on the market, Opera includes tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking, integrated searches and advanced functions like Opera’s groundbreaking e-mail program, RSS Newsfeeds and IRC chat. And because we know that our users have different needs, you can customize the look and content of your Opera browser with a few clicks of the mouse.

Here are some key features of “Opera for Windows without Java”:

Surf the Web easier and faster by opening multiple Web pages within the same application window.

Search Google, eBay, Amazon and more with Opera’s integrated search. You can also search directly in the address field using shortcuts (e.g. “g” for Google).

Opera lets you control whether to block all pop-ups, or open only the ones that you have requested.

Fast Forward will detect the most likely “next page” link and greatly simplify navigation in multi-page documents.

Opera’s password manager remembers your usernames and passwords so you will not have to.

Save a collection of open pages as a session, for later retrieval, or start with the pages you had open when Opera was last closed.

Opera supports mouse gestures, allowing you to perform certain movements with the mouse in order to access commonly used features.

Pressing F12 displays Opera’s ‘Quick preferences’ menu to easily switch settings such as browser authentication, pop-up and cookie preferences.

Notes can be kept in conjunction with a Web site you want to refer to later, to remind you of any particular information you may like to review again.

The voice feature allows you to control Opera’s interface by talking and to have documents read aloud. Voice is currently offered in English and runs on Windows 2000 and XP.

Opera displays security information inside the address bar, located next to the padlock icon that indicates the level of security present on a site.

Opera supports Secure Socket Layer (SSL) versions 2 and 3, and TLS. Opera offers automatic 128-bit encryption, the highest available security of any Web browser.

Opera can be configured to clear the history and cache when exiting, to protect your privacy. Any kind of private data can easily be erased at any time.

Opera gives you detailed control of what cookies to accept and reject, such as allowing for different set-ups for different servers.

Opera’s built-in POP/IMAP E-mail client is a combined e-mail program, news reader, mailing list organizer and RSS/Atom newsfeed reader.

Communicate with people all over the world using Opera’s IRC chat client. Chat privately or in rooms, or share files with your friends and family.

Using the ‘appearance’ dialog you can make Opera look almost any way you want. Move buttons and search fields, add and remove toolbars, and so forth.

Opera skins can give your browser the look you want. Make the browser your own by giving it the icons and buttons of your choice.

Opera’s user interface is translated into a multitude of languages, and the language can be changed on the fly.

With Opera you can zoom the contents of any Web page from 20%-1000% using the zoom dropdown or the + and - keys.

Text size and link styling can be changed using Opera. Text color and background color can also be customized.

Opera comes with a set of ready-made style sheets, including accessibility style, that can be used to override a Web site’s style set completely.

Opera prides itself in supporting all major Web standards currently in use, including CSS 2.1, XHTML 1.1, HTML 4.01, WML 2.0, ECMAScript, DOM 2 and SVG 1.1 tiny.

When displaying a page in small-screen mode (Shift+F11) you can see how it will look on a mobile phone or other small-screen device running Opera.

You can validate the HTML code of any Web page by pressing Ctrl+Alt+v.

Graphics and style sheets can be toggled on/off via Opera’s menus and shortcuts.

The Info panel shows details about the currently open page such as MIME type, page size, character encoding and more.

Edit the source of any open Web page and view the result instantly by using ‘Reload from cache’ (Tools/Advanced).

The F11 key toggles Opera’s projection mode, using the whole screen for browsing and, if a projection style sheet is present, displays ’slides’ suitable for presentation.

Registered versions of Opera supports kiosk mode - a lock-down mode in which the browser can be used for unattended information stands in public environments.
