Opera 10 beta screenshots and download links leaked

(2 replies) #1 LAMj on 03 Jun 2009 - 04:56

Love it, After Adsweep and Adlist came into the scene, I find myself using opera 9.64 more often due to it blazing fast rendering. I just feel it's more speedy than anything else, even Chrome. So what it eats 200k of memory? I've got 4gb of ram came standard

#1.1 Meconio on 03 Jun 2009 - 05:39

I love it and i changed back from chrome, but i still think that opera is a little slower than chrome..but all the things that it has are way more amazing, specially the mouse gestures, tabs previews and tiles view

#1.2 Lord Ba'al on 04 Jun 2009 - 01:41

Yes, it's still the best out there, and with v10, it gets even better

#2 WolfDV on 03 Jun 2009 - 05:11

I too love it! even faster than before, also i like the tweaks to the skin.

#3 +Techno_Funky on 03 Jun 2009 - 05:12

Woah ho ho! Does this rock or what... itching to get hands on this ..

#4 kwang_kung86 on 03 Jun 2009 - 05:13

Very fast rendering ! I love it

Honestly, it's a lot slower than IE 8.

But, Any word on the new Opera Mobile Beta that includes Turbo???

Opera 9 was faster then IE 8; How in the bloody hell can IE 8 be faster then Opera 10?

Anyways, I'm still using Minefield, but I'll try it later on today when I get up.

#6.2 andrewbares on 03 Jun 2009 - 19:05

OK, I revoke my comment. Opera 10 is faster. Something must have been weird that was slowing it down initially. I know about cookies, it wasn't that.

But Turbo is faster for my DSL connection, so that's nice. I'm starting to like Opera.

You don't trust Opera you go an independent website, of course Opera would say their doing fine. 2 years ago Opera's market share was about 2% now it'a 0.7%.

#7.5 Magallanes on 03 Jun 2009 - 15:38

Opera makes 25% in single Russia. I'm sure real worldwide figures are a lot higher than 0,7%. Only big international independent site can show relatively close to reality stats. But Google does not publish it. Facebook and Twitter are not international. Alexa mainly represent USA.

Was looking forward to the beta. I'm really liking it so far.

(2 replies) #9 sirnh1 on 03 Jun 2009 - 06:51

I think opera is still the best browser of them all. It can do everything I need (including mail). The new skin still needs a bit work though.... And turbo is a nice add for those on a slower connection.

#9.1 andrewbares on 03 Jun 2009 - 18:41

Turbo is EXTREMELY slow.

#9.2 Ambroos on 03 Jun 2009 - 19:36

andrewbares said,

Turbo is EXTREMELY slow.

From a certain point your normal connection would be faster than Turbo since with Turbo EVERYTHING you get in your browser goes past the Opera servers. Your connection is faster than the Opera server = you don't gain speed with Turbo. But, for example when I'm using my internet through my mobile phone (EDGE/GPRS) it is a LOT faster for me.

#10 Shushpanzer on 03 Jun 2009 - 06:53

Wow, that's great!
So many changes in the interface and it is some more faster, than it was!

#11 kiwi89 on 03 Jun 2009 - 06:59

nice, its nice and fast and I love the changes to the theme and the speed dial

You can install the beta together with the official release on the same system.

#14 FoxieFoxie on 03 Jun 2009 - 08:18

P.S. It's now 40% faster (alpha was 30%).

#15 IntelliMoo on 03 Jun 2009 - 09:46

PLEASE, does the beta improve the rss reader to be at least as "adequate" as IE's?!

(1 reply) #16 Jugalator on 03 Jun 2009 - 09:46

Still slower than Chrome though, particularly in Javascript-heavy sites like Gmail, Facebook, Digg, ... I also really dislike their lack of aim to integrate the browser chrome with the OS look and feel.

I had hoped for a better "native" skin (they have one, but it's not good at all either).

I REALLY find that hard to believe, but everyones machine is different.

I don't use Opera anymore, but DO ask everyone who's computer I work on if they would like it installed as I KNOW Opera still rocks!!

#17 SniperX on 03 Jun 2009 - 11:22

I've been a long-time Opera user and it just keeps on getting better and better.

I actually quite like that some people see Opera as a dead browser. Keeps all the ****wits using Firefox and out of the Opera forums, where they would be demanding pointless extensions every five minutes instead of letting the dev team just quietly get on with the real business of bringing new innovations to the browser market. That is actually Opera's strength, it's not afraid to be the odd-one-out or the distant relative, and so doesn't need to try and keep adding things that make it 'cool' over functional. Long may it continue...

Personally, I hope you guys never 'get' Opera.

#18 Dave_ek on 03 Jun 2009 - 11:51

I have periods here and there where I switch to it and use it for a while... but I'm afraid if I am honest IE has always been faster. I can safely say when I switch between the two (with no temp files or cookies so fresh load) IE always loads pages faster... especially ones with lots of images.

I haven't tried the new Opera 10 beta - but definitely will give it a go.

p.s. Windows 7 is minted! hehe

#19 LaP on 03 Jun 2009 - 14:00

From the screenshots looks like they improved the UI.

The UI is the main reason i do not use Opera. Because when it comes to speed to display heavy page it's better than IE and FF from my own experience.

#20 THE END on 03 Jun 2009 - 14:24

funny

i really dont notice any special difference in the UI. but Opera is my fav browser and cant wait for it to come out

#21 tareqf1 on 03 Jun 2009 - 14:39

i m using it from 2004 and I never switched to another browser
vitual tabs are nicer addtions, but for small screen monitor it will be no good.
But in LCD, it will be amazing.
and for those who is saying IE is faster than Opera, they actually dont know what a browser is

#25 SniperX on 03 Jun 2009 - 17:27

Just don't try importing your mail from Opera 9.x to Opera 10 Beta. You'll lose the body text of all your mails in both Opera 9 and 10! Reading the Opera forums, it seems I'm not alone to find this.

#26 +lcg on 03 Jun 2009 - 17:48

I still wish Opera would follow the Windows UI, but then again, Opera would look like a Firefox clone if they did that. Nonetheless, the UI does look quite good. I haven't used Opera for a few years or so, so I'm definitely going to try this out! I know I couldn't switch from Firefox, though.

#27 ArKeYa on 03 Jun 2009 - 18:33

A long time Opera user here and I'm still impressed. That looks really good. This browser is so underrated imo.

#28 starburst1980 on 03 Jun 2009 - 18:50

Where is the the new version of Opera Mobile?

#29 jase chaos on 03 Jun 2009 - 19:51

Not bad. I'm impressed. I use FF3 & Chrome. But I am testing this now... I like it.

#30 Chugworth on 03 Jun 2009 - 21:59

Look at that ugly "File" menu... And I hope this version has the ability to automatically update.

#31 Richardarkless on 03 Jun 2009 - 22:19

Im not much of a opera user but I am impressed at the UI tweaks that have been made

it still doesnt stop me from switching though

#32 sullysnet on 03 Jun 2009 - 22:34

trying and using now. auto update is one of the new features of the browser so it should work just fine. It seems nice so far and pretty fast. The Turbo mode is only good for slow connections. I still want to see more innovating features added to Opera

Opera is so low on the "browsers people care about" list that the Q&A department at work don't even bother testing in it, and we do work on some big companies sites.

Yet they do test Safari, and Firefox on Windows and OS X, and IE 6/7/8. Now that I think about it, i don't know of a SiNGLE installation of it at work, even in our tech department. WHy wont this thing die already? I think it's used less then Flock.

hey guys i need some help here. i got a question regarding Opera 10 beta. i imported all my tabs over from firefox, because lets face it... opera IS rendering pages A LOT faster than i have ever seen. so i am now using it. My question is this. lets say i click on open all tabs and then it opens 8 tabs. every time it goes to the newest most recent tab (the 8th tab) and i want it to start on the first one (because i have it in a certain order.) do you guys have any idea how to make this happen? i tried looking through all the advanced tab options and looked through the opera:config page and still no luck. any help would be much appreciated. if you have an answer comment on here, message me in the forums, or email me at pic2021@live.com . thanks all

Been using this since Alpha, the new engine realy puts it up there with the top 5 of the fastest browsers. Some of the new features are well thought of and well planned, by fare the best feature is the fact you can pull down the top bar and show the windows you have open, as with Vista and W7. I think when this is finalised and finished it will without a doubt be one of the best browsers freely available on the Market today.
