Opera Link: Password synchronization
The most requested feature for Opera Link is password synchronization.
You can enable it when you set up link for the first time or in the Synchronization Options dialog.
Speed Dial extensions
Speed Dial extensions are like small web pages embedded in your Speed Dial powered by Opera's extension framework.
They allow developers to make live previews of web pages or other nice decorations for your Speed Dial.
The Add Speed Dial dialog now promotes Speed Dial extensions, and the way Speed Dial extensions are shown in the extensions manager has been improved.
You can also install the same Speed Dial extension more than once.
