Opera 10.0 Alpha Build 6374 / 9.64 B


Experience the looks and the performance of one of the best Web browsers
Discover the new standard in Web browsing. Download Opera today to get the fastest and most powerful Web browser available and make the most of your time online.

Opera is a standards-compliant Web browser for Mac OS X, Unix, Windows,QNX, Symbian, OpenBSD and several other operating systems. Opera gives you a better Internet experience with its combination of speed, unique features, and keyboard shortcuts.

Main features of Opera:

· Fresh new look
We've cleaned up our front yard. The Opera interface is designed to make the advanced functions easy and effective to use. Menus, toolbars and other elements have undergone our "slim and clean"-routine. The licensed version has the largest browsing area in the industry.

· Security
Stay away from spy-ware, viruses, and other malicious applications that silently attack your computer while you are surfing the Web. For example, Opera displays security information inside the address bar, located next to the padlock icon that indicates the level of security present on a site. Opera 8 also provides protection against phishing attacks and automatically checks for security updates. More about security

· Speed
We're holding on to our claim: "The Fastest Browser on Earth". In Opera 8, further improvements have been made in the way the browser reads pages to allow you to fly the Web.

· Tabbed browsing and pop-up blocking
Opera pioneered tabs and pop-up blocking ages ago. But they're still key features that more and more people start enjoying. With tabs you can open multiple pages within the same application window. Opera lets you control whether to block all pop-ups, or open only the ones that you have requested.

· Integrated search
Search your favorite sites, for example Google, eBay, or Amazon without having to go to their Web pages. Use the integrated search window or search directly in the address field using shortcuts (e.g. writing "g Opera" in the address field will search for "Opera" using Google).

· Customization
Using the 'appearance' dialog you can make Opera look almost any way you want. Move buttons and search fields, add and remove toolbars, and so forth. Opera skins can change the look of your browser by giving it the icons and buttons of your choice.

· Password manager
Opera's password manager, the Wand, remembers your usernames and passwords so you will not have to. The password manager can store more than one username and password combination for each page, and will let you choose which one to use if multiple combinations are stored.

Additional features:
· Full support for Gmail
· Support for Atom newsfeeds
· First Web browser to natively support Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).

WARNING: Opera 10.0 Alpha is an alpha version of Opera: it contains the latest changes, but may also have severe known issues, including crashes and data loss situations. In fact, it may not work at all. Please use it only on properly backed up computers and do not install over previous Opera versions. You will not be able to downgrade to a previous version of Opera and use Opera Mail after upgrading to Opera 10.0.

What's New in This Release:

Highlights:
  • Added user interface for built-in crash reporting. Please remember to add any relevant details before sending the report (only Windows for now)
  • Turbo mode is now disabled automatically for local IP addresses and hostnames
  • Work on adding a placeholder image for plugins that are missing or not loaded (in Turbo mode) - see the "extras" folder for the SVG file
  • Google TLD server work. On first run, we contact a Google server, and it returns the correct top level domain (TLD) to use (google.ru for Russia, google.no for Norway, and so on)
  • Show sent mail when using threading in the e-mail client
  • Updated Presto version to 2.2.2

    Some improvements for skin designers:
  • Added "Reload skin" action, which can be assigned to a keyboard shortcut in the shortcut editor (e.g. "F5 ctrl" - "Reload skin" under the "Application" section)
  • You can point to an unzipped skin by adding the full path to the skin.ini file in opera:config#UserPrefs|ButtonSet (use the "Reload skin" action after changing the setting)
  • Toolbar.ini defines new button skins for each toolbar, so each toolbar can be skinned separately. Fallback is Toolbar Button Skin. (Known issue: Native skins not updated yet, so they will get the hover state for the default skin instead)

  • Plugged some memory leaks
  • [CORE-19951] Fixed freeze with nexted CSS display styles
