- ie8fan, on 12/04/2008, -5/+72There's this other article that lists some of the new features of Opera 10.
http://my.opera.com/chooseopera/blog/2008/12/04/pl ...
And it passes Acid3 with 100/100! - mattcoxonline, on 12/04/2008, -7/+57Amazing. \o/
- AndyleeSato, on 12/04/2008, -8/+50Best browser ever!
Owns Fx easily! - itsmoirob, on 12/04/2008, -4/+45It doesn't just pass, it flies through Acid3! haha
- afzx, on 12/04/2008, -9/+46Opera always great
- amnith, on 12/04/2008, -8/+45Awesome! \o/
- whiteeagle131, on 12/04/2008, -9/+38Firefox HA! :D BTW, lovin' Opera 10. I'm astounded by how faster it is! :)
- hdragomir, on 12/04/2008, -6/+30blazing speed!
- hdragomir, on 12/05/2008, -1/+25well.. if you use Firefox all day, it's probably gotten to have most of the content that's on the sites you've tried Opera 10.0a on in its cache. Which would explain why Firefox seems faster.
Try clearing you cache, then running some test. It's the only way to be objective, really. - ortucis, on 12/05/2008, -1/+25I keep downloading Firefox and keep uninstalling it while going back to Opera.
- atdigg, on 12/04/2008, -7/+29Best browser out there, I was missing in-line spellchecker, now I have this too. Great!
- ortucis, on 12/05/2008, -0/+22"You know, like, browse the web? Without crashing hideously?"
This isn't Firefox. - Pattty, on 12/04/2008, -9/+29I absolutely love Opera... \m/
- ZeWho, on 12/04/2008, -6/+23Impressive, and still only alpha!
- suribe, on 12/04/2008, -5/+22in one word: fast
- RyomaNagare, on 12/04/2008, -7/+24Yai for autoupdate, inline spellchecker, and rich text mail composition.
Whats there not to like, and this is just alpha. - agony, on 12/04/2008, -7/+24\o/
- inactive, on 12/05/2008, -1/+18Launching 24 tabs and Opera('warm start', session saved) used a mere 18 seconds of CPU time and 123 MB of memory (Athlon xp1600+ 1 GB RAM) before idling. With only 71k page faults!
FireFox loading 6 tabs ('warm start', session saved).. 20 seconds CPU time.. peaked at 171 MB (now 86MB.. 23 secs CPU time)... 72k page faults.
Opera... doing 4x the work... in less time. Nice. - inactive, on 12/05/2008, -0/+17Opera is typically faster/more efficient and definitely the most secure modern browser.
I use both FF and Opera. Opera for most stuff, FF for sites that don't render that great in Opera(which is very few, and lowering every day). - chembro84, on 12/05/2008, -1/+17hmmm you'll be more careful when using an alpha next time?
- johnnysaucepn, on 12/04/2008, -5/+20Seems exceptionally stable for an alpha release too.
- zombiecarlin, on 12/05/2008, -0/+15I warn anyone thinking of moving to Opera. once you use it you'll simply hate ever having to us another browser.
- ninners, on 12/05/2008, -1/+16perhaps you should take a look at this:
http://www.fanboy.co.nz/adblock/
click the "install now for opera" and you won't see another ad for a very long time. - daddyspank, on 12/04/2008, -6/+20Awesome browser!!!!!
- dan1el, on 12/04/2008, -6/+19Very nice. It seems faster!
- shallot, on 12/05/2008, -0/+13FF needs so many extensions just to get it replicate all the features in Opera and by that time, it usually crashes....
Opera rules....!! FF sucks... - renegadeafk, on 12/04/2008, -1/+13The final opera 10 is supposed to have a new skin/ui so in a sense it is a "dumy" interface.
- yepme02, on 12/04/2008, -2/+14I just did Acid for the first time. I only got 71 in Firefox.....wait never mind my screen is melting.
- jmechy, on 12/04/2008, -2/+14actually, in order for Acid3 to pass the animation must be smooth. However, I doubt that can be far awy for the Opera team.
This release looks great, one of the strongest Opera releases so far. - berfarah, on 07/08/2009, -1/+12Wow - looking at these comments, and how many diggs they have, I can just see how many idiot Firefox fanboys there are on this site, who not only blindly support Firefox, but also hate anything else.
Apparently asking about Acid3 tests warrants a -4? Christ, grow up kids. - MetalHead73, on 12/05/2008, -1/+12barktwiggs, I'll have to thank you for letting me know it was in a different directory.
phewwwwww. problem solved - HigherLogic, on 12/04/2008, -1/+11You can have an internal and public alpha test:
"In a rush to market, more and more companies are engaging external customers or value-chain partners in their alpha testing phase. This allows more extensive usability testing during the alpha phase."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_version#Alpha:_i ... - audiogeek5, on 12/05/2008, -0/+10Touche'.
- Nevotraz, on 12/05/2008, -1/+11A lot of browsers are great now. We really are in the "Golden Age" of web browsers: Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and yes even IE 8 beta 1 are all pretty good.
- barktwiggs, on 12/05/2008, -1/+111st thing, back it up.
2nd thing, by default, it should install in a new directory not affecting your old install. Check your Program Files folder in your C: drive to see if the old install is there. If you purposely chose to do a custom upgrade installation then it's your own damn fault.
3rd thing, if you have a my opera account, your speed dial and bookmarks should be saved in your operalink if you've used it. - xalaiti, on 12/05/2008, -0/+10I love Opera. Thanks!
- lektroluv, on 12/05/2008, -2/+12I love Opera and I use it as my main browser, but one thing I don't like is the adblock system they use. it's not really that effective. I hope they'll implement something like adblock plus or similar in Opera 10.
Anyway, Opera is awesome. Fastest browser by far. - amnesiasoft, on 12/05/2008, -0/+9I keep installing Firefox and leaving it installed so I can sure pages render in that terrible Gecko engine... (Ok, to be fair it seems to support text-decoration better than WebKit or Trident does).

- commentbot, on 12/04/2008, -7/+16And more importantly, HTML email authoring!

This release has a number of cool new features, according to the link above.
That's cool, spread the word! - Semper305, on 12/04/2008, -5/+13Super Fast
- yepme02, on 12/04/2008, -7/+15Not to be too technical but once it hits public in any manner wouldn't you consider that Beta and Not alpha? Maybe I'm old school but Alpha usually is for programming with a dummy interface and Beta incorporates a developed interface. Both for testing and feedback. I don't know, maybe things have changed.
- RyomaNagare, on 12/04/2008, -6/+14It is faster... and renders better than 9.62.
I want to try some of the digg bugs. - Morghin, on 12/05/2008, -1/+9Holy crap, how did they manage to make it EVEN snappier than before? /respect
Oh, and auto-updating smells like awesome! Especially when you can tick off "Download snapshots" too <3 - kiwimonk, on 12/05/2008, -5/+13I use opera on my pocket pc.. IT ROCKS!
Hey, and this this is FAST! How'd you do that?! - icolor, on 12/05/2008, -0/+7it's wonderful! the speed is fantastic! I love in-spell check! Love Opera!
- barktwiggs, on 12/05/2008, -0/+7I bet that does wonders for RAM usage.
- ZarK, on 12/05/2008, -0/+7It doesn't pass and they don't claim it either - it gets 100/100 and pixel-perfect rendering, that's 2 out of 3 criteria for passing the test (the 3rd is the "smoothness" criteria: http://www.webstandards.org/2008/10/02/dowehaveawi ... Still it's very good, but 100/100 != passing Acid3.
- ortucis, on 12/05/2008, -1/+7@Metalhead
Since the dawn of time.. or actually, whenever the alpha/beta builds are released, only the insane people have dared to install them over the current Opera build without backing up everything in the current Opera installation folder.
Pretty much why I want to wait for the final built (it's hard but have to..). - hungryduck, on 12/05/2008, -1/+7I know of one that got fixed. You can now click on the last "top in all topics" story and it will actually work!
