Opera 9.62 Security Update

A new version of the excellent web browser Opera has been released today. The browser which many Opera users consider superior to the other major browsers is stuck at about 2% market share which is slowly on the rise according to the Browser Statistics published by W3Schools.

The new version of Opera is a recommended security upgrade which fixes two security issues. The first fixes an issue where History Search could be used to execute arbitrary code while the second ensures that the links panel no longer allows cross-site scripting. The only other addition is the incorporation of the Opera Presto 2.1.1 user agent engine.

Opera users should upgrade the browser as soon as possible to secure the browser from those reported vulnerabilities.

    9.62 was released some time ago, about two weeks.

    “About 2%”? Net Applications has Opera at about 0.71 percent – that’s lower than Google Chrome’s latest numbers. Net Application’s numbers don’t seem to indicate that Opera is “slowly on the rise”.

    The numbers you’re quoting from the W3Schools site may be specific to that site only, and not reflective of the internet as a whole.
