Taking a first look at Opera 10.50 beta.

Lots of new features present in this latest beta:

• Faster JavaScript engine - The Caraken engine is some 8x faster than the predecessor, faster than Google Chrome!
• Easy-to-use search engine - A search bar ...
• Vega graphics engine - Fast, super-smooth graphics engine
• Turbo Boost - Speed up browsing with server-side tech from Opera
• Smart address bar - Pretty much standard on modern browsers
• Private browsing - Browse without leaving a trace
• Enhanced standards compliance - Features from HTML 5 and CSS 3, such as video support and enhanced effects
• Enhanced dialog box - Now displayed as page overlays ... nice!

Currently, 10.50 beta is only available for the Windows platform.

All in all, a really nice beta that makes me take a new, fresh look at Opera!
