<p>Opera 9.5 is has now been released. The browser underdog (and my personal favorite) now has more features than ever! It's also faster (see my <a href="https://www.steveworkman.com/standards/browsers/2008/browser-wars-the-slickspeed-test/" title="SlickSpeed test article">SlickSpeed test article</a>) and includes lots more CSS3 features including media queries, full selectors capabilities and new properties like text shadows and box sizing.</p>
