With the Opera browser’s version 10 already released as a public beta, users are now experiencing for themselves the additions and new features of what is considered “the greatest browser no one uses.”
The new browser has a new darker interface and and the tabs can be dragged down to show thumbnails of the site in the said tabs. One of Opera’s nifty features, the Speed Dial, is now customizable to take advantage of bigger screens (Google actually copied this feature for their Chrome browser).
Opera CEO Jon Tetzchner said that Opera 10 also has faster performance. Coupled with the new features, he said that both long time users of the browser and new users will be impressed with it.
For torrent users, it should be noted that Opera remains the only browser that has a built in torrent client. Other browsers do not incorporate it mainly because of fears of getting the attention of the copyright hounds. At just a lean 6.5 MB, you guys should really try Opera 10.
