From: Opera Labs

We’ve released a technology preview of Opera 9, codenamed Merlin, on Opera Labs. There are some very cool features we want you to try:

Opera Widgets –

Widgets are small AJAX applications that provide specific functionality – like getting your favorite news, converting currency and so on. We’ve posted documentation on Opera Widgets – not only how to use them but also how to make them. Go to My Opera Community to download Widgets.
Widgets 就是一些提供特定功能的小AJAX程序-比如获取你喜爱的新闻,汇率转换等等.我们提供了Opera Widgets的文档-不只是告诉你如何使用,并且有制作教程.你也可以去Opera社区下载Widgets.

BitTorrent –

BitTorrent has become one of the most popular file transfer protocols around. We built it right into the browser so you can download torrent files easily. No more hassle finding the right port, no worries about setting upload and download speed. We’ve worked to optimize all of that for you.
BitTorrent目前成为一种十分流行的文件传输协议.我们在浏览器中内置了BT来帮助你方便的下载torrent文件.不再需要到处寻找合适的端口,不用担心上传和下载速度的设置.我们帮你做了好了优化.

Customize your search engines –

Use your favorite search engine in the search box. Go to the site you want and right click on the search field site and click on the search field. You will then be prompted to “create search”
在搜索栏里使用你喜欢的搜索引擎.浏览你需要的站点右击搜索栏地址然后点击搜索栏(?).”创建搜索”就会自动弹出了.

Improved content blocker –

Cosmetic surgery for Web pages. Just right click on a page and select “block content”. Any content not greyed out can be blocked with a click. Select “done” and see the page the way you want.
页面的整容术.只要右击页面选择”屏蔽内容”.只要一次点击就可以轻松屏蔽不需要的内容.选择”完成”就可以查看你需要的页面.

Improved pop-up blocker –

Just try it with some nasty popups. We added more intelligence to help weed out even more pop-ups. But since not all pop-ups are created equal, use the trash can to retrieve pop-ups you may want.
搞定一些讨厌的弹出窗口.我们添加一些智能机制帮助扫除更多的弹出窗口.但是为了避免有用的窗口被屏蔽,可以从trash得到你需要的.

Site specific preferences –

For those of you who want to control settings for specific pages. Want to accept some cookies and deny others? How about setting your own style sheet to make the site more accessible? Just right click on the page and select “Site preferences”.
给那些需要对指定页面控制的人.需要接受某些cookies而拒绝别的?如何设置自己的style表单使页面更舒服?只需要右击页面选择”站点选项”

Thumbmail preview –

Opera conserves system resources and uses less memory than other browsers so it’s easy to have many tabs open at once. But just what tab had that video you wanted? Using the thumbnail feature, you can find out by resting the mouse on any tab.
Opera比别的浏览器节省内存,因此可以让你同时打开很多的页面.但是需要快速查看页面内容?使用thumbnail特性,在鼠标放在标签时你可以看到缩略图.

As with any of our technology previews, this is not meant to replace your current version of Opera. That caveat aside, we welcome you to download the TP and let us know what you think.
