:siren:[B][I]This is a newer and revised thread, please let the old one die, as the OP of that thread is about the leak that was ages ago[/I][/B]:siren: :siren: Now released! :siren: Okay so you are looking at the title right. Reading the second part. And thinking to yourself: "HAHA no fucking way!" Well actually... Tests by Opera themselves: [img]http://files.myopera.com/jdlien/blog/fig1_summarygraph.png[/img] Wait hang on just one little second here. These tests are done by Opera, they can't be trusted, can they? Because those tests were done by Opera ASA themselves. I took the time to run the tests on my own computer, on a brand new Windows 7 install, with NO other applications installed whatsoever. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2668640/Myown.PNG[/img] Fairly similar result. So it's fast. That is good, but what else is new? Besides from upgraded rendering and javascript engines, Opera 10.50 has more news up it's sleeve. It's gotten a total overhaul on the interface and skin side. The tab bar is now on top, and the title bar is gone (Like Chrome). To replace the menu buttons we previously had on top, we've now got a nice little button in the top left instead, and if you don't like it this way, you can set it back to how it was before with TWO clicks. According to Opera, the address field has also been upgraded to work more smoothly, and find more relevant results than before. We've also finally got private browsing in Opera, and before you go saying that Opera is way behind with this feature, they actually did something new with it. Instead of having to open a whole new window when you want to browse privately, Opera lets you open just a private tab, in the same window as all your other tabs. This means that there is no more clutter with multiple windows when using private browsing. Opera also got new integration features with Windows 7. This includes jumplists, and even the green progress bar over the icon (One of the few goodies Internet Explorer 8 actually had). If this still isn't enough for you, then you might want to take a look at the list MisterMooth made, about all the features Opera has.

You did not ad the picture i suggested. :saddowns:
[QUOTE=Tu154M;20159413]You did not ad the picture i suggested. :saddowns:[/QUOTE] You can add it yourself if you wish. In your own post.
Has anybody got a Changelog ? I want to know what's different compared to the last pre-alpha build they released.
i always hated opera I like Firefox. Give me a reason to use Opera, other than having X thing faster. Firefox is already near instant for me..
Might as well try it, considering from what those charts say it's faster than chrome in some aspects.
You know, this seems a bit biased [quote]Wait hang on just one little second here. These tests are done by Opera, they can't be trusted, can they?

Always enjoyed using Opera, had to switch to Chrome because suddenly, for some strange reason, the current version of Opera started running [b]extremely[/b] slowly while Chrome experienced nothing. Probably some obscure setting that got switched. Hoping the beta will fix it.
[QUOTE=whatnow V2;20159529]i always hated opera I like Firefox. Give me a reason to use Opera, other than having X thing faster. Firefox is already near instant for me..[/QUOTE] Thank you for expressing your opinion. We, in this specific thread, have only been waiting for you to speak out, as your personal preference in browsers means a lot to us and is an essential piece of information in during the beta testing of this browser. I demand your post to be added to the OP.
Opera 10.50 IS now the fastest browser. I ran a small test on Safari, Firefox, Chrome (Google Chrome 'release'), Opera 10.50 and IE. Of all the RELEASE browsers, Chrome wins. But other then that, Opera 10.50 seems to beat chrome in the nuts.
I was wondering what's the difference other than speed? something that would make it different from the other browsers
What about Chrome 5.0?
[QUOTE=whatnow V2;20159637]I was wondering what's the difference other than speed? something that would make it different from the other browsers[/QUOTE] Essentially, it's now as fast as chrome but with all the features that were desperately missing from that browser. Plus it looks even better, and has a few decent addons.

tl;dr [editline]08:35PM[/editline] but i'll read it now that it's not in the first post [editline]08:35PM[/editline] thanks
[QUOTE=Themage;20159584]You know, this seems a bit biased[/QUOTE] What can I say. I like Opera? So yes it might be a bit biased, but everything I have written is true. Doesn't take a genius to understand that.
Tried to import my chrome bookmarks from a html file, it froze. Then again, all browsers I use do this.
Awaiting the Mac beta, and with it hopefully the lovely smooth scrolling like in Windows.
but the stumbeupon "toolbar" is fail, just tried it in comparison to firefox, its not that great
Fastest browser my ass. Loads extremely slowly for me. Back to chrome for me.
This or firefox... :C
Now it's working fast for me. Just took it 3 minutes to start working properly.
Chrome 5.0 is released, and according to peacekeeper is faster than Opera 10.5 beta too. Sorry Opera, you still lose.
lol @ IE speeds I used to use Opera, got tired of all the "sorry, your browser is unsupported".
[QUOTE=CPShArp;20160232]lol @ IE speeds I used to use Opera, got tired of all the "sorry, your browser is unsupported".[/QUOTE] Very rare today.
on another note, when i saw the title i said to myself "Fuck Off OP" it isnt fast at all compared to my inferno fox! :smug:
Bye bye firefox, at least until 3.7/4
Firefox still has all the addons I like though. :frown:
What's the shortcut for deleting private data?
Thank god now I can stop using the pre-alpha
