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."

    Sorry, had something in my throat. Did you have to go all the way to TFA to copy paste that? What, afraid opera.com can't handle a slashdotting? Fucking ridiculous.

    As the dead-last loser of all the sunspider tests I've ran recently on windows and linux,(hell, even IE*6* was just barely slower) it couldn't get much slower than Opera10. Have to take a peek finally.

  3. Not Even Close To Chrome In Real World Usage by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Like every other browser, the latest Opera doesn't come close to Chrome in real world usage for both general speed and specifically Javascript. It is funny though to watch every Browser developer other than Google falling over themselves to get their own cherry picked benchmarks for their niche fanbase to cling to.

    Get the fuck off this forum you fucking garbage. Every fucking browser story is littered with you fucking Opera losers and your piece of shit browser no one wants to hear about let alone actually use.

    We really need to build a 'B Arc' to ship you fucking losers straight into the Sun along with Amiga freaks, Xbox fanboys, Slackware users, HD-DVD owners and every other Shit Platform the computing world just can't get rid of.

    Gee, if the source were available someone could have built those configurations already.
