Looks really cool... I hope it can display sites as IE does... otherwise it's of no use

Yup,Indyan if a page is coded in valid xhtml it will show up correctly in Opera.

Wow!!! This thing Opera is looking like a killer thing. I used it somewhere around 7.5 or something. Didn't like it much and moved on to Konqueror but this thing is looking great. Does it have all these features in its Linux version as well? It looks like a Firefox killer to me.

yes..eveything abt opera 9 shd hav been posted here...sorry for the mishap...didnt notice earlier

Firefox fans here..

Haven't used opera for quite some time now. Reading this post I can hear opera calling me back. Can't wait anymore to try it out. Opera simply rocks for me.

I downloaded Opera 9 Preview 2 today and it is missing a major feature. No adblock??? I searched around and found various workarounds but nothing concrete and simple. How can I block ads without manually editing any files.

goto forum,we are also havin the same probs like urs..

well as it already contains content blocking..ad blocking we can expect i think

well eddie Opera 9 does have content blocker of some sort...though not as gr8 as adblock still something is better tan nothing.Also u can use Admuncher..an excellent adblocking tool (and bandwidth saver!)for all browsers!

Admuncher doesn't work on Linux my friend

I can use something like Privoxy but apps like these are very aggressive in their work and it hampers my normal working. Anyways, I'll be waiting for adblock and then check Opera again. Till then Konqueror rules for me

there is an adblocker software for opera. So there will be ad blocker software for opera 9 too .dont worry

Is it available for Linux? If it is then please tell me where to find it. I don't mind using the older one either.

Opera 9 is a lot better than what I thought considering its still in beta. I will use more of it. Hopefully missing features like adblock and improved voice commands are included again. Or is voice commands still there? I can't seem to find it?
ANd yeah widgets and bittorrent seem a good inclusion

If you read my other posts you would have known that I am using Linux and this thing works only on Windows but I will be interested in these "list of keywords" you are talking about and how to use them.
