Upgrade to Opera 9.64

A minor upgrade of the Opera browser for the desktop got released this week which addresses several security issues and few minor improvements. If you are an user of Opera you should consider updating your release to Opera 9.64.

Starting with this release, Opera on Windows supports the security measures Data Execution Prevention (DEP) (available in Windows XP SP2 and newer) and Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) (available in Vista and newer). These security measures are a kind of second line of defence once an application runs into a serious fault, which would normally cause it to crash sooner or later.

Internet Explorer 8 Release Candidate 1

Announced by the end of December 08 for the first quarter 09 the first release candidate of the new Internet Explorer is now available.

The user experience managers over at Microsoft might have had a closer look at the competitors when fine-tuning the last beta version. They improved the Search box which now reminds me of search done on Mac OS X. The Smart Address bar and the Favorites bar is similar to what can be found in newer Firefox releases. The pron modus InPrivate is now split up into two main functionalities: InPrivate Browsing and InPrivate Blocking. Among the other revised functions are Tab Groups, New Tab Page, Find on Page, Accelerators, SmartScreen Filter and Web Slices.
