Opera 9.5
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.
