Latest Opera build is tastier than ever


Recommended Posts

I dunno. The build itself is smooth, but the last few version have werid quirks, the main one being that images don't fully load. The best examples of these are Facebook profile pics, and visiting any website URL that ends in PNG or JPG... It's really wierd, as I've only seen it 75% of the time.

It looks tempting; I've tried Opera before, but always went back to FF. FF is getting too bloated IMO, and I'm considering moving to Opera, or maybe even links-gui.

How is Firefox getting too bloated? if anything I find Opera is the one that is getting too bloated. Anyway, I've tried Opera a few times before and I find it slower then IE/FF (so I find it hard to believe it is the fastest browser out there, as Opera claim), mind you I find Firefox slow as well (still use it as my primary browser). However, my Internet is quite crippled (as I live in Australia, we are still the in the dark ages in terms of Internet speed :p) so that might also have some effect on browser speed as well I'd imagine :p

Opera seems the same the last time I tried it. I just can't leave Firefox because I customized it to the point that I don't want to learn how to use and tweak another browser all over again. Oh well :p

:blink: Okay... :whistle:

Well it has been slower then IE/FF on all the computers I've tested it on, personally I don't understand all the fuss about Opera.

im a big opera fan(boy) but i didn't found any speed increase in the last ver. In my old machine opera was faster but with a dual core it seems the same as firefox. I've tried to test the last ver side by side with FF with a couple of Websites (including neowin) but didn't found anything interesting.

Try these settings:

opera:config

- Performance

-- Max Connections Server: 16

-- Max Connections Total: 64

-- Network Buffer Size: 32

-- Uncheck --> Reduce Max Persistent HTTP Connections

Also, Go to Tools --> Preferences --> Advanced --> Browsing --> Try Redraw instantly (loading zone)

Unfortunately, animated GIFs still do not display properly (eg: my sigs) and there's a weird new bug that causes opera.exe to remain in memory even after the browser is closed.

Still, the speed improvements imho were significant, so worth the upgrade for me :)

Strange, only with this build?

Would you guys say this is the fastest rendering browser available today for Windows? Thats what I am really after right now. Firefox seems slow, even with the Fasterfox plugin.
