Opera 9.5 (Kestrel) Alpha is out - Page 12

Choose "full integration with opera" then set FDM to "silent monitoring" that way every link that opera would normally download gets passed straight to FDM, and FDM will take the link and add it to its list without any questions. But i warn you this doesn't always work well, as i said earlier a few sites check referrers etc... and get uppity when you're passing links around (they think you're leeching) which ends in usually downloading "index.html" or "index.php" etc... And some button javascript downloads get totally confused too sometimes... Your better relying on the integrated download manager and using the rightclick download as and when you need it on large downloads (where you gain the the most from a separate download manager).
But try it out by all means.

Snap. I did that. Tried it on FileHippo. Right-clicked on a file link and got the index.htm page. Think I will persevere with Opera's built in gubbins.

And any idea of the timeline/planned schedule(s) for 9.5 full release and Opera 10?

LeperousDust · 03-02-2008, 16:54

Opera 10 no chance, and 9.5 probably "When its ready" like Mobile Opera 9...

Cheers. So Opera aren't following a schedule for 9.5? Just working on it until they are happy with it enough to release it.

And Opera 10 is still in the planning stages?

AFAIK, i've not heard anything mentioned as a strict date, we were promised it orginally at the end of 2007, but it seems that was missed

Nothing has really been added as a release date after that...

Opera 10 is just paper planning i guess, but since its basically a big update of 9.5 it should be more on track than 9.5 (remember 9.5 is the big layout engine rebuild hence why it acts quite a bit different to 9, presto vs futhark)

11th Feb Opera 9.5 for mobile will finally properly debut, can't wait to give this a spin on my mobile!

w00t!

wow - this preview video looks amazing - bring on monday! can't wait to not have to use IE mob anymore!

will this cost the same as the others... might actually have to buy it now.

I'll definitely give it a try and probably buy it if I like it. I've been looking at mobile browsers for a while and just haven't found anything. Minimo is unstable, Deepfish looks good but is probably way off and whatever Google's got cooking isnt going to be here soon.

Anyone know of any tricks to hide Facebook ads?

LeperousDust · 06-02-2008, 21:43

i don't seem to get many, but a lot are like google ad words which are a pain to hide as well...
