Opera 10.0 is out!

And it runs bloody brilliantly!

Am just waiting for my (admittedly old) theme to get updated for the newer browser as there are a couple of minor niggles that simply weren't there under the previous version.

That said. It's faster, has in-line spelling correction and the caching option (opera turbo) makes it damn nice when my 3G connection decides to take a dump.

Truly, it is a remarkable and worthy upgrade from the 9.6 line.

Available for download here.

--update--

Looks like the twitter widget is broken... So will have to wait for that to get updated. The graphical glitch in the theme sorted itself out, which was nice.

--update 2--

Opera Voice doesn't work, same bug as befell 9.64. If you use text to speech a lot, the only workaround currently is to go back to 9.63

Another update:

Seems that the twitter widget isn't the only one broken - ALL widgets that require net access are now having issues.

And redownloading them doesn't seem to do the job.

Anyone using the turbo feature? I guess it may be useful for some people.

Yes, on a heavily capped 3G connection (£15 gets you 3Gb) it's an absolute godsend.

I've saved on average 50Mb or so a day. More thanks to the addition of Fanboy's Opera Adblock list.

Yes, your images end up looking like arse, but you can reload them in full quality individually if/when you want/need.

Been using it for years. Since version 7, I believe.

Only 7? I been using it since 3.62 (BeOS)

10.10 is out now, and comes with Opera Unite.

Still haven't fixed the speech system though.

This is because all pages will be re-routed through the opera servers (hope i've read it correctly).

Correct.

These servers compress everything including all the pictures. So they end up looking like jpeg-25 (or 10 ?) images.* That's why opera turbo is so fast.

Useful only on slow networks however. Beyond 1Mb throughput it's actually slower in terms of throughput.
