Opera is my favourite browser. The beta review appears here courtesy Opera Watch. By and large, fairly in depth to list the major changes from the previous versions.
This version of Opera has innumerable features; notable among them is the content blocker. You can now block ads/ images with the click of button. I dont remain impressed about the Widgets/ thumbnails which are resource hungry and serve no useful purpose. Except perhaps, fuel the fanboy groups across the cyber world against Firefox/ Internet Explorer.
Firefox remains crappy in execution and I wonder why it suffers from such fatal flaws, even though it is open source. It is slow as compared to Opera (very slow indeed); while Opera screams through like a bullet piercing hot molten lead, Firefox moves with leaden boots even while being “optimised” with “extensions”.
Highly recommended to the users here to make the switch. I have been running the weekly builds without any hassle.
I’d suggest that you download it from a US based mirror. By default, Planet Australia loads up and it seems to be crumbling under the heavy load of users. I couldnt find the torrents; bit torrent support is in built in the browser. Still, its a small 5 MB file and shouldn’t hurt anyone.
Here is the update of the event in Seattle.
