Opera 10 Final Released

[decipher]

Following a few months of beta testing, Opera 10 has finally been released and is available for download.

We previewed the new features and performance in June, but the main additions you can expect are:

• an improved interface
• a re-sizable tab bar with page previews
• in-line spell checking
• webmail integration
• HTML email composition
• auto-updates
• crash recovery
• Opera Turbo — a new proxied compression system that can speed up a slow Internet connection.

Even better — they’ve improved the application logo (about time!)




Developers can also utilize several new facilities including:

• a better DragonFly; Opera’s Firebug-like development and debugging console
• web fonts
• HSL (Hue, Saturation and Luminosity) colors in CSS
• CSS opacity within RGB and HSL declarations
• JavaScript DOM element selection using CSS-like syntax
• improved SVG support
• rudimentary HTML5 support

My first impressions are good. Opera 10 is slick and looks better than the competition. It feels just as fast as Chrome or Safari with many of the customization options and power tools in Firefox. It’s early days, but I’m increasing tempted to use Opera as my default browser … I recommend you try it for yourself.

Best browser on earth. If there is no Opera I would stop working online over night.

I would suggest to everytone who use Opera and are SEO freaks to check Opera SEOBAR script.

Just Google it you will not be dissapointed.

LOL.. Looks like I must go and try Opera. I do hear a lot about it.. Just can't think of being without Firefox.. But let'd give it a shot.

I like firefox for its extensions....not sure if Opera has something similar...

[Hellas]

Opera has everything integrated. If you would install extensions to catch the Opera by options you would need to install at least 20 of them

I'm a FF fan, but I am aware that Opera is the best browser. But I can't afford to use it over FF where I can utilize a lot of plugins
