Opera has just released a more secure and much faster beta version of its cult fav browser. According to CNET, “There’s a massive spate of bug fixes in this update, so if stability issues kept you from using previous 9.5 betas, this version should be much more appealing. Other improvements include fixes for downloading e-mail message bodies from all POP accounts, the introduction of a new skin, and smoother upgrading from Opera 9.2. Mac-specific improvements include skin changes and better support for OS X 10.2.”

In addition to exhibiting at SXSW 2008, Opera hosted the popular Hangover Cure stations in the Austin Convention Center, fixing bugs in attendees each morning. To learn more about ways your company can stimulate at SXSW Interactive contact Katie King.
