Opera has also made optional developer tools available with this release, which helps web page builders test their sites by providing a DOM inspector, JavaScript inspector, CSS editor, and HTTP header inspector. Fullscreen movies in YouTube now start correctly without requiring a page refresh, and Flickr Organizr now works properly. The thumbnails for web pages-displayed when the user hovers over any tab-have been enlarged and no longer change size according to the length of the URL. In addition to Speed Dial, Opera 9.2 contains several bug fixes and minor changes. Since one typically opens a new tab prior to loading a new web site, the Speed Dial page (which loads instantly) tends to follow the user's default eye movements, and presents a clear visual picture of one's favorite web sites. However, in practice the feature is actually quite useful. The Speed Dial page also contains an extra search bar, set by default to Yahoo (Opera's main search bar defaults to Google), but this is adjustable via the user preferences page.Īt first glance, Speed Dial doesn't seem to offer anything that traditional favorites or hotlinks in the address bar doesn't already provide. Speed Dial can be easily hidden by clicking on a small "Hide" button in the lower-right corner, and the browser will remember this setting when opening new blank tabs. To go to the site, the user can either click on the thumbnail, enter in the number of the site in Opera's address bar and press Enter, or press the Control key followed by the number. Once a web site has been selected for Speed Dial, a thumbnail of the site appears in the space previously occupied by the number. Each number can be populated with a different URL, selected either from existing favorites or hotlinks, or entered manually.
OPERA SPEEDDIAL FULL
The grid takes up the full screen and is laid out in the fashion of a telephone dial with numbers from 1 to 9. When the user hits the "New Tab" button, instead of the usual blank page, a three by three grid appears. Speed Dial is a new method of quickly browsing to a favorite web site.
The new version adds a number of new features, but the most interesting one is what Opera calls "Speed Dial."
