New Opera browser comes with a URL lookup function




The latest version of Opera Software's 9.5 Beta browser enables users to easily fetch URLs for visited web addresses. It's called Quick Find and it's available for the Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms.

Basically, Quick Find integrates keyword search functionality into the Opera browser's address field. The address field provides a list of URLs upon typing in a few keywords. Users who are familiar with Opera Mini may identify Quick Find as the sister to the "find in page" feature in Opera Mini 4.1.

Fans of the Opera browser may expect other updates in the beta build. Quick Find, however, remains the sole new featured that may directly interest users.

The official Opera announcement states faster e-mail rendering for its built-in email client, support for EV (extended validation) SSL certificates, and improved antiphishing protection (thanks to the collaboration Opera has with PhishTank and NetCraft's databases).
