First Beta of Opera 10 Released

Posted by Soulskill on from the new-and-shiny dept.

Miladinoski writes "Opera Software ASA today released the first beta of their tenth version of the Opera browser. In addition to the browser's known features, like mouse gestures, keyboard shortcuts, voice navigation, mail and RSS support, speed dial and so forth, it now includes a Turbo mode which unclogs your connection to get faster browsing, a new interface, a tabbed browsing update and customizable speed dial. Opera 10 continues to follow the web standards by getting 100/100 and pixel-perfect scores on the Acid3 test. The beta is currently available for every modern OS platform."

  2. Opera Firefox by Petersko · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I have dismal luck with Firefox no matter which platform I run it on. It's slow to start, grows massive in memory, and aborts more often than any other piece of software I use.

    Opera, on the other hand, works just fine for me. I don't ever remember it aborting, at least in the last two years. I love the implementation of the "Transfers" window.

    I've given up on Firefox completely, but Opera has a home on my system.

    Of course my opinion can be discarded by all of the cognoscenti here because for day-to-day browsing I use IE.
