Opera 10 alpha

As 2008 comes to an end we look back at a year packed with big product releases such as Opera 9.5, Opera Mini 4, Opera Mobile 9.5 beta, new opera.com and My Opera, but we are not done yet!

Digg Opera 10 alpha

We are very excited to give all of you an early Christmas present — a first glimpse of Opera 10! This release feature the much anticipated Presto 2.2 rendering engine which has improvements across the board in terms of speed, stability, support for Web standards, and a whole lot more. We want you to take the browser for a spin and test some of the user requested features we also included.

Check out the product page on opera.com or the newly released article on Dev.Opera for more information on Opera 10 alpha.

That's right, you can now get a feeling of the alpha and how to use Web fonts to pimp your blog. We've made a fairly simple, yet elegant, blog design you can choose. Head on over to your account, select "Design" and choose "Opera 10 alpha". cool

\o/

Edit: Loving the software update feature - I've wanted this for ages. Web fonts and other web standards stuff is always a good thing - Opera is always on top of this - just a shame that clients request I build sites for IE6. p

Hohoho, 100/100 Acid3 and fast as lightning. I am very impressed! bigsmile

Robbiemoirob Thursday, December 4, 2008 12:09:55 PM

Could I just say I'm a little annoyed you've released Opera 10 preview just a few hours before I have a 6 hour journey. Now I get little time to play on it! haha.

Lovin' the 10.alpha graphic design on the installer!

Phillip Higginspi8y0u Thursday, December 4, 2008 12:50:29 PM

Hooray for proper built-in spellcheck!

Acid 3 test flies! The added info seems to indicate some issues with tests 26 and 69, but still!

Definitely going to give this a hard run, already looking great!

Charles SchlossChas4 Thursday, December 4, 2008 1:23:04 PM

Opera 10 is lightning fast and it is only at Alpha 1 smile

Sergio Uribesuribe Thursday, December 4, 2008 1:25:32 PM

Hamlethamletpro Thursday, December 4, 2008 1:28:03 PM

Trinette Rani Johnsontrin20t Thursday, December 4, 2008 1:33:58 PM

Ohh. Impressive. Kicking Safari's booty huh?

It's only English for this alpha. You can change the inline spell-check settings from opera:config

Ace Jon Thursday, December 4, 2008 1:50:02 PM

It's lovely.

SovGVD Thursday, December 4, 2008 1:57:07 PM

wooooohoooo! =)))

Ace Jon Thursday, December 4, 2008 2:00:21 PM

One suggestion I'd like to add while the team's still in alpha:
It would be nice to customise Speed Dial to have more than 9 options. One of the main reasons I stuck to Opera was Speed Dial, but when some awesome addons for FF came out that let me have a sprawling 'Fast Dial' I fully converted to FF. Having this option in the new Opera would be great. yes

Ariesptnariesptn Thursday, December 4, 2008 2:06:52 PM

WOW cheers
A very special christmas gift.

Rodrigohogther Thursday, December 4, 2008 2:13:50 PM

Silverlight on http://services.biathlonresults.com/Datacenter.aspx now works fine. bigsmile

We have waiting so long time for the possibility to sort search engines by drag and drop and up and down button. But there is Nr. 10 an nothing happened. I dont give up my hope for that. cry

Ace Jon Thursday, December 4, 2008 2:58:02 PM

Charles SchlossChas4 Thursday, December 4, 2008 2:59:15 PM

Great job, guys. I have my crack Opera fix now.

Matt Coxcoxy Thursday, December 4, 2008 3:03:39 PM

Opera 10 Alpha 1 handles this page:

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=186923194

faster than Opera 9.62 or Safari 3.2.1 up

AxMi-24 Thursday, December 4, 2008 4:22:50 PM

Where can we find more dictionaries? UK english, swedish, croatian?

Is it some standard format or?

Other than that. excellent work. Now just put in better support for proxies and encryption (GPG in M2 and perhaps even inline support)
