Download Opera10- 10 Million Downloads in a Week

Opera has recently released their newest version of their Browser.Opera 10 has already been download 10 million times with in the first week of its release. I too thought to download it and try it. So there is what I feel about Opera 10.

I have always been a fan of Opera, as they were the first to bring the innovative Tabbed Browsing, Which Organized the browsing experience in the best possible way. Also, It made fast and easy to surf sites. then Came the Speed Dials, which made it easy to surf site which to visit more often. But Despite of Introducing new features to their browser, they never become the number one choice. Its pretty sad, but this Opera 10 is no life save for them, as they have not added any extra features to it, they just have tweaked their old features, but that also should be appreciated, whereas other browsers just copy these things from each other.

Small Modifications are–

You can now configure the size and color of speed dials, usually there are 9 speed dials, but now you can make more of it by reducing the size.

The other thing I liked is that they have added spell check to it, which is a must have thing in this era of blogging and twittering .

Opera 10 showcases a sleek new design coupled with our new Turbo technology, which keeps Web pages loading lightning fast, even if your connection slows down.

Also, this Browser is much faster than others here is the speed test detail from Arctechnica

Opera 10 was 17 percent faster than Opera 9, and 10 percent faster than Firefox 3.5. However it was six percent slower than the current champion, Chrome 2.0.172. Note that all the browsers performed within about 20 percent of each other, with the exception of Internet Explorer 8, which was approximately twice as slow as every other browser.

Overall

It could be said that this browser will be creating a buzz ( and is creating already) but Opera has still a long way too go, for making it to the top.
