Opera Software today released Opera 9, its newest Web browser for personal computers. You can download it free in more than 25 languages for Windows, Mac, Linux and other platforms from Opera.com. Opera 9 enhances the way you access, share and use online content by including widgets and support for BitTorrent, the popular file distribution technology.
With Opera 9. you don’t need a separate BitTorrent application to download large files. Simply click a torrent link and start the download.
“For Opera 9, we worked hard to push the limits of what people expect from a Web browser, with increased speed, new Web standards support and innovative features such as widgets and BitTorrent,” said Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software, in the press release. “Even though we shaped this browser for the Web’s future, we have the powerful features people want and need for their surfing today. I truly feel Opera 9 has something for everyone.”
Widgets make everyday browsing fun and useful by bringing a variety of Web content and data right to your computer’s desktop. You can play games, get organized, follow your favorite sports teams and more. Widget developers can create widgets using open and common Web standards including JavaScript, CSS, HTML and SVG and technologies like AJAX.

Opera believes in an open Web by supporting open standards and technologies that lead the next wave of innovation. Opera 9 includes tools to make it easier for sites to code for these open standards. Built-in Extensible Rendering Architecture (ERA) helps developers make sure their sites work well on any Web-connected device. Opera’s browsers are built on the same core technology, making it easy to test once in Opera 9 and ensure compatibility with a variety of devices – from mobile phones to Nintendo’s Wii.
