Opera Software opens the curtain on the release candidate of Opera 10 with a bunch of new features to make it faster and more productive.
Opera 10 contains Opera Turbo which is a compression technology that promises faster speeds in places where the bandwidth is limited - such as connecting from an Internet cafe or browsing on the go.

improvements
I'm not dumping my firefox just because Opera has a few new bells and whistles. I've been using fast-dial for some time now as a plug in. I'd like to see the run time reports on the speed improvements rather just saying it's 40% faster. I can make firefox 40% faster just by making some cache tweaks. So where's the beef?

Improvements -- as in slick improvements
The beef? Well, it's slick and everything is there from the 'get-go' and in my language at that.
Minutes ago I installed it on both my laptop XP-machine and my Ubuntu-machine with no tweaking or anything like that. Vmware'd Suse, Win7 et al soon to follow. Opera sync'em and I'm done.
I believe that's 'the beef' most of us are looking for.

Yeah right!
Opera is way faster and I don't have to go around looking for addons and you got to know how to tweak your browserCopparam Harsha29th Aug 2009 -
RE: (New features in Opera 10 release candidate)
no body else has a turbo and in case you dint know opera started most of the features(speed dial, throw out a tab to make a new window, and block content and it has turbo compressin g webpages to make the loading time lesser, which no else has and you dont need add ons to get the best of this browser) so shut up and admit it's the best around and that you don't know how to tweak it !Copparam Harsha29th Aug 2009 -
opera the best browser
completely true and i also agree that opera is world best browser features like MonkeyScripts geastures,dwnload manager, notes,Wand etc are still not available in other browser.
and now i think opera should add a developer Tools like IE8 and a internal tab manager like chrome have indicating tab CPU, memory usage.

Note to authors
"Opera 10 adds an inline spell-checker to catch misteaks
[sic] in several languages."
Please tell me that was supposed to be ironic.
Please?
