Opera 90.1?? Opera is moving fast – really fast

Having just released Opera 9, it seems that Opera is moving at the speed of light.
Opera’s built-in update notifier (Help > Check for updates… in the menu bar) shows that an update for the browser is available, version 90.1 (See screenshot below).
Funny how I just read a couple days ago about a grammatical blunder that may cost a company an extra $2 million.
I always knew Opera was fast, but not this fast!

Opera Watch lagging behind by days, as usual…

Yup! Can confirm that – 90.1!

This news is very old, lol, but funny. As Jere said, this is old by days, but I guess people who don’t dig thru the my.opera forums might not have read about it or seen it yet. Go Opera, 9 to 90.1 in no time, haha.
Also, still wondering why an “Opera Fan” site such as this is _STILL_ failing validation… Click here to validate. I’d be more than happy to assist in validating and finding fixes in your pages. You could knockout more than half of them probably by just correctly url encoding the urls. Example… & should be encoded to & for all cases. Just let me know when you’re ready to help support Opera by support web standards.

LOL

I haven’t noticed this until one of my readers pointed it out to me.

kyleabaker, most of the errors you see now is from the Opera Widgetize tag. Thanks for bring it up, I will take a look at it.

Good deal. But seriously, just let me know if I can be of any assistance, as I finally completed validating my site just recently. It is a task on sometimes, but can be done.

Wow, I just downloaded the new version… Incredibly fast, and all the new features! Wow, Opera will definitely go into the right direction in the next 40 years.

It seems to be that just about all of the errors produced by this page are from not converting ampersand entities into the proper &.
There’s another reason why this may not validate, and that is from users submitting marked-up HTML which is not valid according to the selected doctype (or any doctype for that matter). Some people still don’t close their <br />’s and like to capitalize their tags.
However, I believe that what really matters about a webpage is not whether it validates or not, but whether the content is good. I’d rather have good content that doesn’t validate than valid, bad content.

Oh, so Opera isn’t pulling a Netscape?

For those you who haven’t tried it yet, I definitely recommend the new Opera 90.1. It reads my mind and instantaneously loads up the web site I want. The built-in speech recognition software is superb! It hasn’t missed a beat as I talk out this post. In fact, I’ve been sitting in this chair for the last couple of hours letting Opera do all the work. I haven’t touched the keyboard or mouse at all!
Thumbs up, OSA!
