Updated Opera now shows Unicode!

[Fka200]

I wanted to see some sites with Opera today, it asked me to update, and I did.


Decided to go on some sites, and magically it displays the Unicode instead of the Punycode!




*** Not sure if Opera showed unicode on previous versions, I REALLY don't remember, but this is still good news, even though Operate isn't used so much.

What does it do if you type an IDN keyword into the address bar (without .com appended)?

Good. They didn't change that fetuer with the upgrade.

Looks like it's time to heavily promote Opera usage, guys.

Ooooo. Next question.

What happens if you type a 2 word keyphrase into the address bar so there's a space between the keywords?

Error!
Invalid URL

The URL http://free rides contains characters that are not valid in the location they are found.
The reason for their presence may be a mistyped URL, but the URL may also be an attempt to trick you into visiting a web site which you might mistake for a site you trust.

Do people still even use the opera browser?

I was using it when we were doing manual drop catching - it seems to load faster!

Opera has been my browser of election for a long time. Lighter (!), faster, no need to pacth as most exploits and pop scripts target ie and firefox, tabs work, rss feeds reader, every configuration you can think of available and the list goes on and on. Of course, fully IDN support, for a long time.
