Opera 10 Alpha 1 Released, Aces Acid 3 Test

Khuffie writes "It seems that the upcoming version of Opera 10, of which the first Alpha has recently been released, has already passed the Acid 3 test with a 100/100. The only other rendering engine to have a complete score is WebKit, which can be seen in Google Chrome's nightly build. Opera 10 Alpha 1 will also finally include auto-updates, inline spell checking, and see some improvements to its built-in mail client, including much-requested rich text composition."

    Opera was last spotted moving across the country in a technicolored school bus called the "Further."

    Perhaps the submitter could have benefitted from those.....

    Other features include a spell checker and auto updating.

    Firefox had this years ago, seriously is this accurate, Opera just got these?

    So Opera is a little behind the times...

    Personally I can't wait until they get around to implementing horrendous security holes as a subset of its features!

      Well, if LingNoi's known about that hole for 4 years then I think we might have some idea who's been exploiting it...

    Same here dude. It's awesome for browsing porn, plus the fact if you gesture forward (with the mouse, ahem) on a page of thumbnails it will cycle through the linked images.

    I actually emailed Opera after an all night drunken 'test' session to tell them how awesome mouse gestures were and they sent me a t-shirt and a note of thanks. Obviously I told them I was cycling through hubble deep field pictures and not some hubba hubba deep feel pics.
