Opera has taken the fight to its rivals with the alpha of Opera 10, the first browser to fully comply with the Acid3 test, according to the Norweigan company.
Opera claims the latest version of its desktop browser scores 100 out of 100 on the Acid3 test, which was created to assess whether browsers comply with a range of web standards around features such as rendering and Javascript.

In comparison Chrome 0.4 manages 79 out of 100, trailed by Firefox 3.0.4 with 71 and Internet Explorer 7, which hits a meagre 14, though IE8 is expected to improve things significantly when it launches.

Gr8... 100 out of 100 in Acid3 test. :)
Wanna try it now.

Ever heard of something called Minefield? If so, please check its latest trunk 3.2a1pre. You are surely going to change your mind on what's fast. :D

Nice, 100/100 is a super improvement. Though I still have my gripes with the interface and power user things, it is nonetheless a very right path to Opera and serves as a nifty backup browser.

i am just checking it...previously i was opera user...when it was not free ;). I am using firefox since much time...but i think..this release of opera will rock... amazing speed...memory print is also limited...and UI is also good...

i think..now FF gonna have proper competition.... :D

Yep, it does an 92/100 on the current nighty build, posting from the same and is also damn fast.

It should be an interesting fight when all browsers hit release.

like T159 said, I hav the power of both. I use both FF and Opera. So happy to hear Opera achieved 100/100 in Acid3 tests. But still I use FF more, b'coz am a guy who can't live with all those FF plugins and extensions :)

100/100 for opera from my side. I would prefer than FF but i know ... fingers are not equal tho its same hand.

But FF users must admit that it takes 8-12 seconds to get executed and 5-9 seconds to load the page. afterwards it’s become 5-8 secs to get executed.

I know that FF is graced by extns and add ons but i just embarrassed with those pop ups saying "Additional Plug-in required"

Mouse Gstrs are one of the tool which make opera much adaptable.

Seeing so many positive comments about this browser, I want to try it out. I guess I'll wait until the stable release comes out.
Any idea when the stable version'll get released?

^^ R U kidding me
U haven't even tried Opera
I'm using it since ages
Its much much faster than Firefox & very small in size comparing its features with it
but Firefox takes the crown just cause of its page rendering & addons
Nahi to Opera bhi kam nahi ....!!!

I was a devoted Opera user before. Then I switched to FF and I've never turned back. What I meant was, I'd like to try out this version of the browser. :)
