Opera is known as the fastest and smallest full-featured browser, a first choice for people using older PCs and Windows 95 and a brilliant alternative to the default IE from Microsoft. This new version has a chance to actually beat IE hands-down because it has a truckload of new and exciting features. It complies to all the current web-page standards, it has a completely new interface (you can choose from single window and multi-window view), built-in search, a download manager, an advanced mail/news reader, print preview, a huge bookmark collection and much more in a 2Mb free package! Well, the free package also includes banner ads, but Opera is believed to be completely free of spyware, unlike some of its competitors. It’s lightning fast as well as stable and it looks gorgeous. It’s simply perfect! For a complete list of features check out the official website, there’s vastly more to discover Changelog: • Fixed several crashes when printing, sending mail, removing active web panel... • Lots of minor fixes. • Start bar is replaced by Speed Dial, Top-10 and Bookmark buttons can be found in the Appearance dialog and added to other toolbars. • Canvas: Stopped drawing lines from origin (0, 0) when using path functions in accordance with changes in WHATWG canvas spec. Note to Widget developers: This may cause problems with your Widgets if you use Canvas.
Known issues: • Overrides your search.ini file instead of merging them: Make a backup before installing. • Thumbnails should not reload on every startup. • "Reload every..." is missing from the context menu. • Middle-click doesn't open pages in the background. • Back button doesn't go back to Speed Dial. • Several skin and display problems. • Contains some hardcoded not translatable strings. • The "What is Speed Dial" link doesn't go anywhere. • Forgetting to put your partner's blog in SD1 can have dramatic consequences.

what hell?! lots of bugs!

What you mean with " how come they have new versions or updates compare to firefox?"? Opera is mot a Mozilla-build, if that's what you mean. So there is just no comparison in how many updates. This Opera is a weekly built (let's say pre-beta). Firefox/Mozilla even has daily builds, so that are far more updates if you take those in account.
And "Less is more!"? I don't think Firefox is not lean at all. It may look lean without any plugins, but Firefox takes much more harddisk space (Doc&Settings taken in account even more), memory use. Opera is faster and better intergrated features.
Mind that this is testing version (and not the best I've seen from Opera), so seriously take their advice to install in a separate directory!

This build of Opera is fine, i havent had 1 problem with it since the install even though it IS a beta/testing build, FYI firefox is a beast and is SO much slower than Opera. "Reload every..." is NOT missing from MY context menu. Middle-click DOES open pages in the background. And i dont have any skin/interface/display problems. I do have to admit, this speed dial function instead of a new blank tab is VERY nice and i REALLY like it :D Try it out and see, and yes you can disable it if it dosent suit your taste.

It looks OK. I liked the new Feature of "Speed Dial."
But like 9.10 Version, this also unable to open my "Rediffmail" Inbox.

For me Opera is the best. It has the best user-interface and is extremely easy to use. I have no comment which is the best browser. But for me Opera works best. I dont have anything against Beta releases. Ill try this one. :)

yea, i agree with moryabdi. This is about the worst beta opera is singing! furthermore, the cache for all operas is a neglible. The reason is i cull from the cache htm, downloaded files for offline readings/installation/convertion to txt etc. This is where ie comes in. Maybe i am the few dumby using this method? Thanks to 9down for the headsup, nontheless ;-)- regards/pluto
