After launching nearly 7 release candidates for its Windows web browser, Opera released Opera 10.50 final today, that claims to be the fastest browser in the world. We almost lost the count on the number of release candidates, when Opera came out with 4 release candidates yesterday!
Testing its speed, fixing various bugs and optimizing the browser for windows environment were all a part of updates that were made in various Beta updates, so as to make user experience smooth.
Giving a new shape to User Interface, the whole look and feel of the browser has been improved. For windows 7 users, the Aero glass, Aero peak and Jump list support makes it look the best! The much needed feature, Private browsing as well as private Tabs feature has been introduced and that enables users to hide their activities on web.
The major improvement came in the form of New Javascript Engine – Carakan, that makes the browsing fastest. HTML5 for video support and supports CSS3 for enhanced effects are also some of the featured improvements.
For detailed info and more features, visit Opera 10.50 features page.
The launch comes at a crucial time when European users of windows OS will be having a choice to choose their browsers, as Microsoft rolled out Browser Ballot screen for the European Union users of windows OS yesterday.
The browser will soon be available for Linux and Mac users. For windows users, it is available for download in nearly 42 languages.
So what do you think about Opera’s claim to be the fastest browser in the world?

I tried Opera it is very slow in opening the flash sites.
Point to be noted, but then isn’t Firefox also a little slow with flash websites? Actually that could mean overall Chrome still is the fastest.
@Kunal -I had no problems in opening flash websites. May be u had some other processes running on your system, that slowed down your browsing speed. You should try once again!
i tested that it is fast in loading websites like google, ask etc.,
but it took 32 seconds to load shoutmeloud.com while firefox takes only 7 seconds …!!
Try updating your flash and see if you still face the same issue.
Good design
True..
Hi All,
I am user of Opera browser from 5 Year… Its just awesome browser… If you think is slower then my friends you can boost browsing speed by pressing only 1 Key… Opera turbo key…
My personal experience about Opera browser is really good…
Try to load any high resolution images in Google Crome or Firefox it just slow down while you scroll… but Opera can handle it very smooth… and lots of features are already inbuilt.
