Only thing that keeps me away from Opera is a small but annoying thing. Whenever I download something, it opens up a new tab, and there is no way to turn that off. I dont need a new tab to control my downloads.

Andy, I think this is what you're after.

You can also now remove the Opera button, top left of the browser. Not sure if earlier builds could do that.

It really is the most complete web browser out there. I still prefer Firefox because I can customize it more, but they're really doing great.

Does it seem slower to anyone else? FF is loading pages faster on both my laptop and desktop, the last beta went into a crash cycle. I removed the older version completely, so I don't think that's causing any problems.

Maybe it's just me?

A few users have claimed beta 2 is slower in rendering pages, but benchmarks looks good. Haven't noticed anything myself.

I haven't noticed any slowness either.

My only complaint other than the obvious ones(ie no extensions) is with the skin
When you pop out the side bar, it doesnt quite belong there. Its this ugly blue bar that just feels like it was slapped on top.

New Opera daily build, post-Beta 2. http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/

Plus there's a Mac beta now.

Heh, maybe now Neowin will notice it.

Heh, maybe Neowin notice that Opera 10.5 have been in beta now.

Good update; many of the problems I had with beta 1 seem to be working now.

This was possible with Beta 1. I always hide it, since you can access the menu bar just by pressing "Alt." No need for a large, ugly icon.

There's still some things I wish Opera would adopt though... A real bookmarks toolbar, for one. The Personal bar is clunky, not letting me put it where I want it some of the time. I also wish Opera Link was a little more advanced... Everytime I sync, it always replaces my synced settings with old bookmarks I deleted long ago. They need to offer an option to delete what's on the browser already and replace it with what's on the server, etc.
