Opera 9.5 beta and Opera Link synchronization launched

by Brad Linder on October 25, 2007 at 10:00 AM

The folks behind the Opera web browser have launched a public beta of Opera 9.5 today. We kind of knew that was coming, but it's still nice to get a slightly more stable release of the updated web browser. Probably our favorite new feature is the full history search that lets you do a full text search covering every web site you've visited recently from the URL bar.

Opera is has also launched Opera Link, which lets you synchronize your bookmarks and Speed Dial preferences. Have Opera on your home and work machines, and Opera Mini 4 beta on your cellphone? Opera Link will let you keep the same preferences on each.

There's no synchronization love for Opera Mobile, the Windows Mobile version of the web browser. That's kind of sad, considering Opera Mobile is the only browser of the bunch that you have to pay for. It costs $24 while Opera Mini and the desktop browser are free.

I was so excited to read the headline and then what a let down they don't have it working with Opera Mobile. I would love to use the Opera Link feature. It would also get me to pony up the $24 bucks and swith to Opera on my desktop.

DL squad, any extensions out there for FF that let me do this or a way to quickly mark a site for viewing on my desktop later form a WM6 phone?

The web interface of Opera Link is available in ANY browser, including Opera Mobile. Set it as your homepage or bookmark it so all your bookmarks are only one shortcut away on your phone.
