I was expecting another Beta release before the official launch of Opera 9, hopefully this isn't premature and they've squashed all the major bugs.

I seem to remember that the initial releases of Opera 7/8 had some significant problems and it took a few bug fixes before they matured. The new Opera 9 features such as content blocking and per-site preferences are very welcome and the speed seems excellent, I just hope the stability will be equally impressive.
