New war begins with Opera 9.6 launch which aim at Chrome


Google Chrome; what to say about this browser guys not worth to praise, still the developers at Opera aren't taking any chances. Opera had been voted as one of the best browser on the usability which not only looks brilliant but also gives a joy to it's user. Are Opera people, though they are most excellent (but much-neglected) browser in their pocket, fearing to lose market share to this new entrant?

As we can see core of Opera haven't change much as usual, but 9.6 will address almost all bugs and performance issues of 9.5 version we had faced. The new 9.6 beta also scores an 85 percent on the Acid3 test; Opera 9.5 scores 83. In the Human Computer Interface department, Opera 9.6 now lets you drag tabs between two windows -- not a big deal, but apparently someone saw Chrome do this and decided that Opera should too (industrial copy cat act).

Still some how I feel that their no death for Opera as Chrome has entered in this market as one can clearly see there are exceptions.

The most important thing you do today is download Opera 9.6. Have fun with new beta version!
