Its been just 10-15 minutes that I have downloaded this beta deb and I must say its FAST! Unlike the previous versions the new UI looks more uncluttered with default grey theme.

This version comes with lots of enhancement:

  • Opera Turbo
  • Automatic updates
  • Crash logging
  • Inline spelling checker
  • 100/100 and pixel-perfect on the Acid3 test
  • Significantly improved performance, particularly on CSS/HTML rendering
  • Opera Mail HTML Compose support
  • ... and much more!

While the release hardly made news unlike its counterparts but I must say its worth a dekho! I have been using Opera Mail for a while now and this new HTML support is a welcome change!! Way to go Opera :)!!!

Ge it here!

EDIT: Mods kindly change the section :?.

Apart from a very very fast JavaScript engine, what's so special about Chrome? :-?

^ Yeah.. I really dont get why so many people hype up chrome. It is too basic, doesnt have a lot of the basic features of a modern browser.

And anyway, opera is working on its own new js engine..opera is already so fast (it blows away any browser with html/css rendering speed)..imagine how fast opera would become when the new js engine becomes ready.

I am absolutely loving the visual tabs thing. Its implementation is superb.
But I am a bit surprised to see that Opera hasn't implemented an userjs manager yet. I also want to see a Private mode in opera.
