Editor's review of Opera 9.62
5.0 stars
- "Opera browser sings"
Opera 9.62 maintains the program's tradition of striving for the fastest, smallest, and most full-featured browser available. Opera covers the basics with tabbed browsing, mouse-over previews, a customizable search bar, advanced bookmarking tools, and simple integration with e-mail and chat clients. Mouse-gesture support, keyboard shortcuts, and drag-and-drop functionality round out the essentials.
Opera's extras push it to the top of the class. Integrated theme support previews themes from within the interface, and the new version sports a default redo that's an attractive balance between "dark" and "light" themes. Opera's desktop widgets can appear anywhere while Opera is running. The Wand utility combines autofill with saved passwords, and it's hard to ignore the addition of torrent support and real-time fraud protection. The latest version includes reasonable anti-malware protection courtesy Haute Secure.
The expanded features in 9.62 should make any non-believer do a double-take. Opera Link enables Bookmarks, the Personal bar, Speed Dial, and Notes synchronization across all other Opera instances. Quick Find improves the search tool, allowing for full text searching from the address field, the history panel, and opera:historysearch. The Status bar has been restored as a default, the Wand now lets users confirm a successful login before saving credentials, and spatial navigation--similar to Opera Mini and the Wii browser--has been introduced.
The new version is faster, has multiple back-end changes to handle code better, and expands Opera Link synchronization. We think Opera has what it takes to unseat even the biggest-name browsers. You just need to hear it sing.

Version: Opera 9.62
"The best all-around browser with only 1 flaw."
Pros: Very feature-rich. They invented Tabbed Browsing--a feature we now enjoy on all browsers. It is the fastest browser on a daily basis. Very secure and less-likely to execute malicious scripts. Overall, a GREAT choice.
Cons: It's only downfall is it's not compatible with about 10% of the web pages out there. This is usually due to poor programming on the sites or sites that are specifically writeen for internet explorer.
Summary: I have used Opera as my default browser for about 2 years. I work on computers as a profession. This browser will work on just about ANY computer, including Windows 95 PCs (try that with inet explorer).
It is very secure, fast, and sta... read more >> -

Version: Opera 9.62
"Good browser, but has a couple of issues."
Pros: It's fast, and has good features.
Cons: Opera's download manager has a tendancy to corrupt downloads, or not finish them. Opera 9.62 still crashes for no reason apparently. Without warning Opera would crash while web browsing. Just recently, it crashed on me here in this website.
Summary: A couple of issues prevents Opera from being my default web browser. It use to be my default browser, but not anymore due to stability issues, and download issues. Opera crashed on me when I tried to download a file from this website download.com... read more >>
