Opera 9.10 Released

Opera 9.10 is ready for download. If you’re curious what changed, have a look at the changelog for your platform.
Fraud Protection seems to be the main feature of this release.
When Opera Fraud Protection is enabled, you contact a server at Opera every time you request a Web page. HTTPS sites are checked via an encrypted channel, while IP addresses on the local intranet will never be checked. The server checks the domain name of the requested page against live whitelists compiled by GeoTrust, and blacklists compiled by GeoTrust and Phishtank. Opera’s fraud protection server downloads blacklists directly from Phishtank, and sends a query to GeoTrust.
More on the link, have a look — especially at the “privacy implications” section. It doesn’t strike me as too scary, but that’s just an initial opinion.
Now if the meebo folks would get their stuff working with Opera… That’s about the only site I use daily that just doesn’t do well with this browser.

Funny, but I beat you to it without even noticing.
In the post about blinklist’s language problem the screenshot I posted was opera 9.10
I know, it’s not a race… but I think it’s funny I had updated without noticing until now.
Not to be stupid… but I’m on meebo right now. HOw’s it not work for you?
I have issues with conversations not scrolling as they happen. I keep having to scroll down manually in the chat windows.
… and it still doesn’t work for beans with the Yahoo Mail Beta.
But that’s probably Yahoo doing browser agent detection. Grr.
