Opera 9.6 beta: Now with RSS feed previews low bandwidth email mode

For example, you can create a custom search engine by clicking on any search field. If you right-click on the Download Squad search box, for example, you can add our search box to your browser's drop down search list in a matter of seconds.
There's also a new feed preview feature that shows you the contents of an RSS feed before you susbcribe. Just click the orange RSS icon in the location bar when visiting any site with a feed. Opera has also added a low bandwidth mode to the integrated email client. If you have a POP account, Opera will only fetch the first 100 lines of a message unless you specifically request the full message. For IMAP accounts, no attachments will be downloaded without a special request.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

For one (What CNet's Buzz out Loud podcast calls "Well, actuallies") Opera has had the feature to add searches from websites with the contextual menu for some time now. Right now I am using 9.52 and I have IMDB, FilEXT, YouTube, Spreedr, Reference.com, and others and I have had them since version 9.
@Elizibeth, I would like for them to do something as simple as being able to sort the feeds into folders or catagories, let alone the display as a page thing. Something I would also really like is some podcatching functionality built in as I am subscribed to ALOT of podcasts, both video and audio.
