Opera 8 is ready
Opera 8 was released yesterday and they claim it is a substantial upgrade from previous versions, and includes new features such as a unique security information field that indicates the trustworthiness of banking and shopping Web sites and voice interaction capabilities.
Håkon Wium Lie, CTO, Opera Software has this to say about it:
"The vast majority of Internet users have had to deal with a slow and insecure browser for too long. People are spending more time online, and with the increase in online fraud it is vital that they have a browser that is fast, secure and easy to use. That's what we offer with Opera 8."
Opera supports all major Web standards currently in use, including CSS 2.1, XHTML 1.1, HTML 4.01, WML 2.0, ECMAScript, DOM 2 and SVG 1.1 tiny.
You can see a list of the main features and see some screenshots here. The screenshot page offers additional information on some of the features.
I clicked a link to compare browsers and got a chuckle out it. They didn't name names... but it seems pretty clear to me what other two browsers they are comparing it to.
