Opera launches Opera 9.6 Web browser enhancing the performance and flexibility of the built-in e-mail client, while adding new features to free browser-synchronization service, Opera Link.

Opera Link lets you take your favorite search engines and the browser history you enter wherever you go. It also synchronizes notes, bookmarks, Speed Dial and personal bar.

Opera Mail now includes “low-bandwidth mode” to retrieve mails even faster when bandwidth is limited. You can also keep an eye on important threads and contacts by following them, or ignore less important threads and contacts with a single click.

Opera 9.6 improves the quick responsiveness and page loading of Opera 9.5. Moreover, Opera 9.6 gives you a clean, multi-column preview for each RSS feed so you know what to expect before you subscribe.
