Opera 10.60 for Mac uses less memory

Thursday, July 1, 2010 6:47:51 PM

I thought I would put some more numbers out on how Opera 10.60 for Mac—released earlier today—uses less memory than its predecessor.

Version	Test	Memory usage	Score
10.60	Start-up	70,1 mb
10.54	Start-up	84,3 mb
10.60	New tabs¹	124,9 mb	294 opened
10.54	New tabs¹	189,2 mb	256 opened
10.60	Peacekeeper	215,0 mb	4267
10.54	Peacekeeper	260,6 mb	3128
10.60	Awesomeness Index²		128 out of 100
10.54	Awesomeness Index²		98 out of 100

Pretty neat table, huh?

Opera 10.6 going javaplugin2 all the way

Monday, May 31, 2010 11:01:55 AM

java, plug-ins, release

One of the cool new things coming in Opera 10.6 for Mac (Alpha 1 now available) is the switch to the all new out-of-process Java plug-in (javaplugin2). An out-of-process plug-in of course means a crash free Java environment! Yej! (At least an environment that does not crash your browser when Java runs into a little trouble.)

What this means is that you have to install Java for Mac OS 10.5 Update 7 or Java for Mac OS 10.6 Update 2 (both available through Software Update) in order to use Java with Opera. Java on OS 10.4 and in non-updated versions of Mac OS is no longer supported.

Opera 10.5x Beta 2 for Mac

Thursday, April 15, 2010 9:44:54 PM

evenes, release

Opera Software today released Opera 10.52 Beta 2 for Mac. —and we’re aiming to get to Final release in a very short time! But that is no excuse not to download and test as it is almost done.

It is looking really good and we are very exited about the great progress we have had for this release. We have a gorgeous new interface. It is just great. And with the all new Carakan script engine: we’re the fastest browser on the planet. It is just amazing. We think you are going to love it. Steve Jobs

Okay, so the above may not have been a real Steve-quote. But it is definitely what the Mac team is feeling about this release! I will let a big screenshot (click for full-size) do the rest of the talking:
