I recently installed the alpha version of Opera 10 (this is my first time using Opera too), and I have to say that I'm very impressed with the browser. It's very fast and it does render pages perfectly (got a 100 out of a 100 in the acid 3 test).

Has anyone else tried out the new browser? What are your thoughts on it. I wish I could get Ad-block working on it, which is my only complaint.

There is an install for it, but it (Adblock) only seems to work for the 9 series of Opera browsers.

I'm not much of a fan of Opera but I haven't tried it out. Any noticeable changes?

I haven't tried this new one, but I stopped using Opera because there was no Adblock and Stumbleupon. If they would become available, then I would probably go back to it.

I'm still a Firefox guy, but I'm trying to broaden my horizons.

Opera 10 alpha is pretty feature incomplete perse so it doesn't have much new over the latest version 9 release other than an in-line spell checker right now, but it does have a completely new rendering engine that renders websites extremely fast and with extreme accuracy.

I haven't tried this new one, but I stopped using Opera because there was no Adblock and Stumbleupon. If they would become available, then I would probably go back to it.

There is a method to get AdBlock working on Opera, but it's only fully functional on the 9 series of opera browsers.

I tried Opera briefly years ago. I loved that it had voice recognition. Does it still support that?

Also, from what I gather, Opera is one of the best browsers out there.

Yea, I looked into it when I had Opera, but I could never get it working properly.
