[QUOTE=jlj1;21264676]I honestly find Opera slower then Chrome without turbo. I am not going to make the switch permanently trying it for a week or so[/QUOTE] Opera is a lot faster for me, and I've used both browsers for a long time. Are you sure it's not because of the cache or the redraw time?
Using it now, runs pretty smooth with Turbo on.
Gonna try Opera, I have the mobile version on my HD2 and its brilliant.
Just tried the latest 10.52 build and it's awesome. Everything seems a helluva lot faster, and the interface feels a bit snappier. [editline]03:18AM[/editline] I think part of it is because the cache works better now. Loading different pages from the same site seems a lot quicker [editline]03:32AM[/editline] Memory usage is a lot better now. 10.51 seemed to have memory leaks, but this version seems to keep the RAM usage at a decent, stable level.
Very good.
Bump because 10.52 is out. [editline]07:03PM[/editline] Oh, and the Mac version is finally out too.
What changed from .51 to .52 to make it that much faster?
[QUOTE=Panda X;21585017]What changed from .51 to .52 to make it that much faster?[/QUOTE] From what I understand, they improved the javascript and rendering engines. Also, they fixed the annoying cache issues. Now images in the cache don't always have to be reloaded.
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;21585024]Also, they fixed the annoying cache issues. Now images in the cache don't always have to be reloaded.[/QUOTE] Cool. Also there are two things which are pretty important to me: Fixed issues with pages never stop loading Fixed a crash with various third-party apps on Facebook It was very annoying when it crashed during loading of Farmville.
Why have I never seen this widget: [url]http://widgets.opera.com/widget/15552/[/url] This might be the first widget I actually use.
I don't read eBooks at all. I hate reading from monitors, especially from CRT ones.
[QUOTE=MisterMooth;21585024]Also, they fixed the annoying cache issues. Now images in the cache don't always have to be reloaded.[/QUOTE] Doesn't appear to be fixed for me, images are still being reloaded every time.
[QUOTE=Roast Beast;21588180]Doesn't appear to be fixed for me, images are still being reloaded every time.[/QUOTE] Try manually deleting your cache. I haven't had any problems.
10.53 is out. Patches up a vulnerability and fixes a couple other things.
[quote]Fixed an issue where multiple asynchronous document modifications could be used to execute arbitrary code; see our advisory ([url]http://www.opera.com/support/search/view/953/[/url]).[/quote] Personally I prefer MisterMooth's version, because I can actually understand it.
Has anyone here experienced problems with flash? Slowdowns, image tearing, choppy playback? At first I thought that flash player 10.1 prerelase I had installed ws the culprit, but I have the same issues with stable release. Thing is, I´ve encountered this only in Opera, chromium plays everything flawlessly. Any input would be appreciated. Edit: Just noticed that opera.exe is using about 480 MB of memory. Time to close some tabs I guess :)

[QUOTE=Tu154M;21666745]I did have some problem where scrolling would completely fuck up flash objects. That was just once though and it never came back after i restarted Opera.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure that's something they fixed in the latest versions.
10.60 Alpha 1 has been released. [url]http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/2010/05/31/opera-10-60-alpha-1[/url] [IMG]http://files.myopera.com/Asires/screenshots/first10.6vschrome_peace_maximised.png[/IMG] [url]http://clients.futuremark.com/peacekeeper/results.action?key=3ch3[/url]
I knew that this thread will be bumped when I saw the new blogpost.

could've sworn i trolled one of these opera threads either way, damn that update looks good.. I hope firefox catches up.
I might consider using Opera for now, but I know once Firefox 4 comes out I'll switch back in a heartbeat. Nothing can top NoScript and Adblock Plus. I've never had any problems with Firefox except for trying to run it off a flash drive on my school's extremely slow computers.
[QUOTE=Disarray;22280211]I've just installed it and it feels faster than whatever the latest official was.[/QUOTE] Yeah, it does. I love the new Speed Dial and tab previews too.

Opera's interface just feels so much... snappier, and I have quicker access to the things I need. Chrome is also right behind for me.

[QUOTE=Disarray;22281192]I'm not too sure on the new speeddial background, could do with being a little more subtle.[/QUOTE] I agree, but you can disable it easily enough anyway.
[QUOTE=Disarray;22281192]I'm not too sure on the new speeddial background, could do with being a little more subtle. [/QUOTE] It basically changes with every theme and you can also change it individually so i wouldn't really see that as a big point.
[QUOTE=Crit-Sandvich;22280517]Nothing can top NoScript and Adblock Plus[/QUOTE] Opera has (at least) similar features.
i can't switch to a browser without an equivalent to NoScript
