Opera 10 comes out of BETA – Runs great – best browser for netbooks
Opera has finally unveiled the final version of their Opera 10 browser. It is very fast, looks and feels great on all of my netbooks.
It has a turbo feature which can be really helpful if you are on a slow network connection. I frequently visit places where I do not find WiMax signals and thus have to use the slow CDMA 1.x connection. This is where the Turbo mode finds its use. It basically compresses the webpages and images (thus reducing their quality) to make the overall web-browsing experience better.

Opera 10 includes other refinements to help you maximize productivity and get more from your Web-browsing experience:
- Super-sized Speed Dial: Opera’s Speed Dial has been emulated all over the Web. Now the original is ready for your personal touch. Have a large monitor? Turn your Speed Dial into a 5×5 grid. Other sizes are available, as well. If you have a favorite picture, you can use it as your Speed Dial’s background image.
- Automatic updates for enhanced safety: Opera 10 updates automatically, so you always have the latest version. Now you always take advantage of our newest features and benefit from Opera’s strong track record when it comes to protecting our users. Visit secunia.com to see the statistics.
- Chekk ur speling: Misspell no more. Enter text into any form field or into our e-mail client, and we will make you look good. The Spell Checker supports 51 languages, using the popular open source Hunspell dictionary format.
- Better e-mail with a better e-mail client: Why just browse the Web? Opera puts your e-mail right where you need it, by giving you a built-in e-mail client for optimal productivity. Opera Mail gives you many options to organize, sort and search your mail and contacts. Opera 10 features the fastest and most powerful Opera Mail yet. A new thread reader makes it easy to follow discussions. Combined with our built-in Spell Checker, Opera 10 gives you a great e-mail client and a great browser, all in one.
- The craftsmanship under the hood: Browsing speed is a combination of many factors. We fine-tuned our overall speed, making Opera faster and smoother on resource-intensive pages such as Gmail. Opera 10 is 40% faster in page loading than Opera 9.6 … and that is before you activate Opera Turbo. Opera is designed not only to be light and fast, but also smart. Our adaptive memory management is optimized to work with your machine, conserving memory if your computer has less RAM and utilizing more memory to enhance performance if your computer has memory to spare.
- Toys for Web developers: Web developers can play with the newest update to Opera Dragonfly, our set of on-board, Web development tools. Opera Dragonfly, available in 36 languages, now allows you to edit the DOM and inspect HTTP headers. With a 100% score on the ACID3 standards compliance test, and support for CSS3 Webfonts, Opera 10 is ready whenever inspiration strikes.
