Opera one of the popular browser has finally released the Beta version of its upcoming browser.. Opera renowned as the fastest browser has yet again set a benchmark by providing the leading edge innovation and hassle free browsing experience to the end user.. With development in full swing, Opera 10 Beta strives to seek and evoke community response to deliver a more user friendly and faster browsing experience..

With Firefox 3.5 development on peek, it was time for Opera developers to hit the nail with some bold release..So lets see how this new beta release perform when we lay our hands on it..

Opera tries to leverage the gap and fix most of the annoying bugs present in 9.x release. Opera10 is still in Beta phase but the release is very usable and responsive but don't expect it to work like a stable software..Opera 10 features substantial growth in overall package and features a whole set of new tools and engine to boost the browsing experience..

Can't post here due to image restriction :(

To see the full effect of turbo , go Here

But remember that turbo is a major privacy risk. Every website you visit can potentially be logged by Opera. Ofcourse they say they don't do it.

turbo decreases the image quality... so less download size of the webpage... so less time..!

Thanks for sharing this news. I've been using opera for 3.5 years now.

BTW, spell checking was introduced in version 10 alpha if I'm not wrong :p

My god!! The turbo Mode is working way better in 10 beta as compared to alpha.
The pages are loading really quick .

10 beta is just crashing when I try to save some heavy image ( 1.5MB & higher ) from websites but I've never faced such issues with alpha.
