Opera 10 final out!

Not really a fan of the logo as it's a bit too garish on the black background. I do like the borders around the speed dial links though.
 
I want features removed! How about an option to leave out bitorrent, feeds, widgets and email facilities on installation....

What's the point? It's not like those features slow the browser down, and it doesn't affect load time because Opera loads instantly anyway.

Remember that Firefox was supposed to be a tiny, efficient lean browser that could be extended to exactly what you want... in the beginning this was a sound idea but it's kind of turned into a bit of a monster now and there's talk around the net of people wanting a 'cut down FF' .

Can't say I get that one either. Firefox with no add-ons is pretty minimal and loads very fast. If you want more minimal, there's always Chrome, which fills the role of a minimal browser extremely well.

IE8's not a bad browser. But however you want to browse, there's a better one.

Speed/minimalism = Chrome
Full-featured = Opera
Extensible = Firefox
Flashy = Safari

... and they're all faster than IE.
 
Hey guys does the new Yahoo Mail work with Opera 10?

By "new" Yahoo mail I mean where it looks like Outlook Express....folders on the left, email pane on top and reading window below.

This view worked only on FF and IE8. When I tried using it Opera 9.64 I got a message "This browser is not supported".
 
Still can't get the "get directions" on Google map to work with Opera :(

Looks like Opera doesn't let scripts override the default right-click function by default. (That's generally a good thing - stops sites from disabling right-click, etc.)

Seems like you can change it in Preferences > Advanced > JavaScript Options > Allow scripts to detect context menu events. You can also make this exception just for individual sites from that window. Only problem is that the standard right-click popup seems to appear as well as the Google one.

Firefox has a similar menu option to enable/disable custom right-click menus.

Seems ok to me, but I never had a problem tbh

Works fine for me on Opera 10 as well. But... ouch... that ad seriously needs blocking. At least GMail's ads are discreet rather than taking up 200 pixels of your page width.
 
Downloaded and installed this for when I get one of my "im bored, lets browse in this browser today" moments. Going to have to be very good to pry me away from Chrome as my default.

you can hide them, but i usually use the opera mail client so have never bothered ;)

If you want one particular feature to be done excellently, then yes, fine. But if you're like me and most other internet users, you want one that is pain and hassle free and that does the most common things, pretty well. I.e. IE8.

It's undeniably the most widely supported.

As for 'faster' - I've tried others and if you can tell the difference or the difference that presents itself matters significantly to you, then you're either extremely anal, or superman.
 
Not liking the speed/response of Opera this version, I've used it for many, many years but this is the first I have to say no thanks and go back to 9.

When I launch I have it set to my speed dial, but to open speed dial it hangs for about 1.5-2seconds, also when alt tabbing between anything back to speed dial it'll hang also and display the program cascading from the top.

I hope this isn't the beginning of the browser getting too big and bloated for it's own good, I know not everyone have this problem right now. We'll see.

Still my #1 browser.

Liking TURBO for slow speed connections.
