Opera Software today unveiled the final version of Opera 10. In a
world of ordinary Web browsers, Opera 10 stands out from the crowd
with innovative new features wrapped in an elegant, fresh interface.
Opera 10 is absolutely free, comes in 43 languages, and works on
Windows, Mac and Linux platforms. You can download the world’s most
innovative browser from http://www.opera.com/.

There are three major things you must try in Opera 10:

1. Opera Turbo, a new compression technology that solves the pain of
slow connections.

Whether you are an on-the-go business traveler, you rely on 3G cards
in your netbook, or you find yourself stuck on a sluggish Wi-Fi
connection, Opera Turbo gives you a major browsing boost.

If your network speed slows to a crawl, simply enable Opera Turbo to
browse the Web at broadband-like speeds. Opera Turbo will
automatically detect when network speeds will enable you to benefit.
Once you turn it on, Opera Turbo instantly compresses pages, so less
data needs to be transferred over a limited connection.

Take the Opera Turbo test today. In our laboratory trials, Opera
Turbo gives up to eight times faster Web surfing over slow
connections than other browsers.

2. A sleek and beautiful interface

You have never seen an Opera browser that looks like this. For Opera
10 we gave the browser a streamlined and elegant new interface. The
world-class design complements Opera’s world-class features that help
you get even more out of your Web browsing.

3. Better tabs, from the original pioneer

Opera continues pioneering new ways to use tabs. In Opera 10, resize
your tab bar by pulling down on it or double-clicking the handle,
revealing a surprise: Opera now shows you full thumbnails of all your
open tabs.

Tip: Opera 10’s Visual Tabs are placed at the top, but you can put
them on either sides or the bottom. Try it with a widescreen monitor.

Opera 10 includes other refinements to help you maximize productivity
and get more from your Web-browsing experience:

– Super-sized Speed Dial
Opera’s Speed Dial has been emulated all over the Web. Now the
original is ready for your personal touch. Have a large monitor? Turn
your Speed Dial into a 5×5 grid. Other sizes are available, as well.
If you have a favorite picture, you can use it as your Speed Dial’s
background image.

– Automatic updates for enhanced safety
Opera 10 updates automatically, so you always have the latest
version. Now you always take advantage of our newest features and
benefit from Opera’s strong track record when it comes to protecting
our users. Visit secunia.com to see the statistics.

– Chekk ur speling
Misspell no more. Enter text into any form field or into our e-mail
client, and we will make you look good. The Spell Checker supports 51
languages, using the popular open source Hunspell dictionary format.

– Better e-mail with a better e-mail client Why just browse the Web?
Opera puts your e-mail right where you need it, by giving you a
built-in e-mail client for optimal productivity. Opera Mail gives you
many options to organize, sort and search your mail and contacts.
Opera 10 features the fastest and most powerful Opera Mail yet. A new
thread reader makes it easy to follow discussions. Combined with our
built-in Spell Checker, Opera 10 gives you a great e-mail client and
a great browser, all in one.

– The craftsmanship under the hood
Browsing speed is a combination of many factors. We fine-tuned our
overall speed, making Opera faster and smoother on resource-intensive
pages such as Gmail. Opera 10 is 40% faster in page loading than
Opera 9.6 … and that is before you activate Opera Turbo. Opera is
designed not only to be light and fast, but also smart. Our adaptive
memory management is optimized to work with your machine, conserving
memory if your computer has less RAM and utilizing more memory to
enhance performance if your computer has memory to spare.

– Toys for Web developers
Web developers can play with the newest update to Opera Dragonfly,
our set of on-board, Web development tools. Opera Dragonfly,
available in 36 languages, now allows you to edit the DOM and inspect
HTTP headers. With a 100% score on the ACID3 standards compliance
test, and support for CSS3 Webfonts, Opera 10 is ready whenever
inspiration strikes.
