Opera 10.5 Pre-Alpha Is Out, and It's Fast

Posted by kdawson on from the fat-lady-has-not-sung dept.

sgunhouse writes to let us know that, following a leaked internal build over the weekend, Opera Software has now released their official 10.5 pre-alpha. There are no Linux versions yet. And an anonymous reader adds, "Opera's 10.5 pre-alpha includes the Carakan JavaScript Engine. Benchmarks now show that Opera is competitive with Chrome, beating it in Sunspider and other tests. Safari, Firefox, and IE are all behind. This is still pre-alpha, so further speed gains should be expected."

    Its still Opera, and it probably still sucks.

    At least they stopped trying to get money out of people for their craptastic browser. I think I tried like v 7 or 8, and couldnt believe how unpleasant it was to surf the net..
