The latest Opera 10 build

Nezmer · 2009-03-15 22:46:53

I just installed the latest Opera 10 build . It's actually great .

Notes :

1) Spell checking is working now and misspelled words are underlined . They moved to hunspell by the way .

2) Opera Turbo is now enabled .

Warning :
RSS feeds and Opera mail are not backward compatible . If you downgrade later , those services will be disabled .

Edit : You can grab the package from the AUR .

Tell you what, it's fast as you like here. Im zipping about all over teh interwebs!

hehe, the turbo mode actually slows everything down for me. Well its not meant for high-end connections, but just wanted to mention this

u_no_hu · 2009-03-17 08:24:01

Turbo works pretty well on slow connections. On most pages you get 3x to 4x size reduction. And you get less lag that you normally do

Yea, it routes everything through a proxy. But with my very fast connection, accessing the proxy is actually slower than loading the uncompressed website directly

I have to agree with you on this one . I disabled It after an hour of usage . My connection is a kind of slow (512Kb/s) and I'm always downloading torrents . Turbo actually slowed down some sites .

I give browsing high priority in my QoS rules and It works for me pretty well so I don't need any server-side optimizations .

tomk · 2009-03-17 10:38:28

Well, they recommend testing it at 100Kb/s, so that's obviously what they regard as slow.

There's a 64-bit build there as well, btw, although it uses qt3. Runs fine here, my objections are only to do with the way it looks.

Opera has now reached the utopia of virtually instant load of almost all pages for me. Even youtube takes less than 2 seconds to load fully.

Only glitch so far is that some flash sites aren't working properly (youtube not among them).

How fast is very fast?

I think I'll stick to Opera 9.64 for now.

If you have anything better than 100kbps, dont bother.

cuervo · 2009-03-18 13:26:09

Never mind the turbo, I switched it off and forgot about it, but opera10 is still much faster here than FF, midori and the old opera.IMHO.

Rasi · 2009-03-19 00:28:15

The QT4 build has a bug with the save dialog on my machine. I cant type in a custom filename.

pointone · 2009-03-19 04:17:37

Ditto. Wonder if it's been reported yet...

Dheart · 2009-08-14 18:21:54

Opera turbo is the cure for all the slow public wireless networks!!! Opera turbo + notebook + public wireless = Fast connection.

Meskarune · 2009-08-16 00:50:47

Wow, Opera 10 is awesome. I didn't even realize they released a beta... Thanks for the heads up.

When will be the final build available in Arch?

when it's ready, I suppose. Though I notice just now it is absent from the repositories. Perhaps for this reason.

tomk · 2009-09-01 16:09:59

It was removed from the repos due to license restrictions. The final release of opera 10.00 is in the AUR.

AlecSchueler · 2009-09-01 18:12:15

Do you know the name of the AUR package? I'm probably looking right at it and missing it, but the most recent release I see is the second release candidate, and it'd flagged as out of date.

linkmaster03 · 2009-09-01 19:33:14

@AlecSchueler: I think it is 'opera-qt4'.

Themaister · 2009-09-01 21:37:56

WOOHOO QT4 build for x86_64 Opera. Awesome.

organo · 2009-09-03 10:04:37

Seriously chuffed with Opera 10 64-bit and QT4 - fits perfectly in KDE4. I didn't realise that the Turbo was enabled now, thanks I'll give it a go now.

organo · 2009-09-05 22:30:08

Wait, does anyone know how to change the font of the menu (File, Edit, View etc.) because it is not obeying my preferences from System Settings. I thought it would as it is QT4, but I am no expert on such - and yet the title does obey.

presario · 2009-09-06 01:11:19

@organo
Tools > Preferences > Fonts > Browser Menus
You can change fonts for many other things too!

Oh and actually you can hide that main menu, if you need more space like I do. Uncheck File > Show Menu Bar. Then you can get the menu by just clicking Alt
