Opera 9.50b2 for Linux 64 bits

Opera, a nice browser

Opera is a great browser and the latest beta offers nice features, including a few tools for web developers.

I'm not sure why the 64 bits version for Linux is hidden on Opera's site but anyway, if you're looking for it get it here: Opera 9.50b2 for Linux 64 bits. It's Opera's FTP server.

Safari 3 Beta (And Works With Windows)

I've just noticed that Apple has launched a beta of Safari 3, its excellent browser. The good thing is it runs on Windows, something quite useful for those unhappy web developers who still hasn't got a Mac but need to test their site with Safari.

Of course we still need a Mac user to tell us if what we see in Safari Windows is the same we'd see in Safari Mac.

Now we only need Safari Linux to make this world a perfect place.

Internet Explorer 7 Running on Linux

Good news for web developers running Linux: IEs 4 Linux 2.5 Beta 2 is now available and can run Internet Explorer 7.

Just run the following command during installation:

ies4linux --beta-install-ie7

I'm sure this will help many of us, Linux lovers web developers.

Important: This is just the engine of Internet Explorer 7, the user interface looks like version 6, but that's irrelevant when you just want to test a design.
