Back in September, Opera launched the first alpha version of Kestrel, its new version of the web-browser, which was supposed to bring revolutionary tools to the Internet users. Since it was only an early alpha release, it was likely

to see bugs and encounter errors while using it. But a few days ago, Opera Software launched the first beta version of Opera 9.5 which apparently fixes a lot of bugs. Sure, it's only a beta, so you might find many other problems in it, but at least it works much better than the previous versions do. Now let's see what's new in this release.

First of all, Huid Kleinhout, desktop team manager at Opera, sustained the 9.5 beta version of the browser works faster, being also more stable, while the website rendering received major improvements. "Since the first alpha release hundreds of bugs have been fixed. Website rendering has been significantly improved, along with performance, stability and usability," he wrote on the official blog.

But the most important update is surely Opera Link, a new technology which is meant to synchronize all versions of the browser. Let me explain you the concept. Let's suppose you're using Opera on your PC and you add a certain website to your bookmarks list. Then, while you're browsing the web from your mobile device using Opera Mini, you want to access the same site saved on your computer. Here comes Opera Link. All you need to do is go over to this new technology and get all the bookmarks saved by you on other platforms. Pretty useful, don't you think?

"With Opera Link, it's possible to get access to your bookmarks and Speed Dials everywhere. Get Opera Mini 4 beta and login to Opera Link to get your desktop bookmarks, or login to link.opera.com to access your bookmarks with any other browser", the Opera official tried to describe the technology in a few words.

Obviously, the latest release of the Opera browser is available for download on Softpedia.
