Opera 10 Alpha 1

Opera Software ASA recently released an Alpha version of their next generation browser, Opera 10. Along with a few widely requested features, this new browser sports an updated engine that - though some may find it incredibly difficult to believe - make Opera significantly faster. Where pages used to actually seem like they load, now they just seem to "blink" into existence.

For the specification savvy out there, this new version of Opera is fully capable of passing the Acid3 test (100/100 - I've tested it myself), contains a few new technologies for developers to use and adds a few new features for the normal people out there that just use a browser to surf the web.

Despite this being an Alpha, I have not had any issues with Opera 10 Alpha 1 and judging by their timeline, this browser is just going to get better and better.

For more information, check out this blog post by the Desktop Team, this development article and Opera's "Next" page that can usually be relied upon to detail all the changes in their latest browser in plain English.

Changelog:
  • Presto 2.2 Engine
  • Performance boost
  • 100/100 and pixel-perfect on the Acid3 test
  • Auto-update
  • Inline spelling checker
  • Opera Mail improvements, including rich text composition and delete after X days
  • Widget Improvements on Linux

Full Changelogs:
Windows
Macintosh
Unix

a few info bits for you:

1. focus on search bar is ctrl e, not ctrl k like ff
2. get adblock for opera here:Fanboy's AdBlock List
3. if you want noscript go into preferences > advanced > content > uncheck javascript, java, and plugins. you can re enable them on a site by site basis by editing site preferences by right clicking on a page. not as good as noscript, but better than nothing

Fullscreen works fine over here.

This should probably be in the Opera 10 Alpha 1 thread if that is the version you are using. Please remember to specify what version of Opera you are using when asking for help with it.

Edit: posts moved.

Wouldn't properly download my torrents and open them, then I found otu it wasn't downloading any torrents from any laces that require accounts to use such as what.cd etc.

It would not allow me use my scrollwheel within it nor would it allow me to move the URL bar where I liked it back in Opera 9.

I'll wait till the final release to judge.
