Review by Mazep TGS
(2 months ago, using version 10.0)
Features:
Performance:
Interface:
Price:
Now that 10.0 is out of beta, I decided to upgrade.
In all honesty I don't really see much immediate difference other than
some superficial interface differences.
Opera Turbo seems like a nice feature, but not one I'm likely to get any
benefit from, as I don't suffer from poor connections.
The most significant improvement from my perspective is that JavaScript
support has been tightened up; it's probably a little less strict, and also now
passes Acid3.
The most notable difference relating to this from my POV is that the
Google services behave themselves properly now! Mail doesn't lag like hell
anymore, and Sites doesn't do the wacky things it used to before.
Yahoo! Mail seems to act a little more stable, but only a little - this is
Yahoo! we're talking about, after all.
It still can't run the freaky Java applet they use for the Moongate client on
Materia Magica, but overall Opera remains the thinking person's first choice of
browser. (And it's still better than Firefox.)
