New Opera 9.5 Is Here Too!

I’ve just upgrade my Opera web browser. What about you? In fact, Opera 9.5 was released on June 12, 2008, a few days before the release of Firefox 3.

Within the first 5 days of this new version available, Opera 9.5 has received more than 4.7 million downloads. Pretty impressive I would say, but it’s just about half of the download total Firefox 3 received in 1 single day! The total download for Firefox is now surpassing 11 millions downloads worldwide.

Anyway, let’s glance through what new features we can get in Opera 9.5 :-

Sharp, new look and feel
Quick Find - Feature similar to Firefox3’s Smart Location Bar
Speed Dial - 9 visual bookmarks to your most used Web sites
Opera Link - synchronized between any Opera 9.5 desktop browser and Opera Mini
Fraud Protection
Anti-Malware

love Opera too and usually I will switch in between Firefox and Opera while surfing. Both web browsers are great, no doubt about it. Now the question is since both Internet Explorer’s competitors already released their latest versions respectively, when do we see the next major version release of Internet Explorer (IE)?

Google Chrome Web Browser Brief Review

In case you still have not noticed, Google had entered the web browser market by releasing their first ever web browser, Google Chrome, yesterday.

I’m always excited whenever Google launches any software, therefore I’ve installed Google Chrome immediately after reading this fascinating news yesterday even though the software is still under Beta version.

Well, what makes Google Chrome different from other web browsers?Let me list out Google Chrome’s features that other traditional browsers don’t have :-

1. Ability to process each browsing tab on its own

Such feature could significantly prevent one tab from crashing another. For browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox, there is a tendency the whole browser will crash just because of one memory-hogging bug on one website. You won’t see such crashing happens to Google Chrome. In fact, you can even use its own built-in Task Manager to kill the misbehaving tab individually when you need to.

2. Better memory management

When a browsing tab is closed in Google Chrome, the whole process is ended. As simple as that! There won’t be any used memory left uncollected by the Operating System. In other words, no memory will be wasted when you run Google Chrome.

3. Incognito Browsing

This is another cool feature that I love.While you are in incognito browsing mode, websites that you surf or files downloaded won’t be recorded in your browsing and download histories. Besides, all new cookies will be deleted the incognito window is closed.

4. Create Application Shortcut

No, not create an application shortcut of Google Chrome in your Windows.
In Google Chrome, there is a feature where you can create a shortcut of a website and save it to either Desktop, Start Menu and Quick Launch Bar. Yes, only 3 locations available at the moment. These shortcuts will run Google Chrome and open the website, even Google Chrome is not the default web browser.
