Download Opera 10.50 for Windows

March 2, 2010 · by Espen André Øverdahl

Download Opera 10.50

Today we released Opera 10.50 for Windows, the fastest Web browser thus-far. Opera 10.50 is available completely free from http://www.opera.com/.

Catching lightning in a bottle... er, browser

Opera 10.50 is the fastest browser we have ever produced. Under the hood, we introduced a new JavaScript engine, Carakan, and a new graphics library, Vega.

Private browsing

What you do on the Web is up to you, no one else. Make sure it stays that way by using private browsing to remove specific sites from your browsing history. Unlike other browsers, Opera 10.50 allows you to browse privately in a tab or in an entirely separate window.

Platform integration

On Windows 7/Vista, we let Opera enjoy Aero Glass, as well as supporting Aero Peek and Jump Lists. Now, you can easily access your Speed Dials, tabs and more from the Taskbar.

Hummingbird

Wallpaper

Decorate your desktop with the official Opera 10.50 wallpaper - featuring a Hummingbird. :smile:

Download wallpaper:

2000x1600 | 1600x1280 | 1280x1024

Download

Opera is available completely free from http://www.opera.com/download or via Microsoft's browser choice screen. Opera 10.50 is currently available for Windows and comes in 42 different languages. Mac and Linux versions are coming soon.

  • JakubTuesday, March 2, 2010 7:52:34 AM

    I synchronized search engines via my.opera and I can see only some favicons. The others stay blue... I did a clean install.

  • GerefordTuesday, March 2, 2010 8:06:26 AM

    What about this function.

    Download acceleration software compatibility
    Support is added for download acceleration software (user option), which integrates a user's favorite download accelerator with Opera.
    Check box activation is located at: opera:config#UserPrefs|UseExternalDownloadManager

    Who can explain me how it to use?

  • ldeaneTuesday, March 2, 2010 8:17:43 AM

    It's a great improvement - the simple gui is what you notice first - a little competition ( the dreaded chrome ) is no bad thing - quite beautiful! And, then, all that's underneath. A Ferrari - and for free! Wow!

  • Z1-AV69Tuesday, March 2, 2010 8:17:53 AM

    Thanks a lot for all the hard work you did in recent weeks. I hope you can relax a little bit now. But first I would suggest putting a new image on this page: http://www.opera.com/browser/?source=choice&language=

  • ldeaneTuesday, March 2, 2010 8:24:48 AM

    However, I'm still having problems with opera synch not shutting down when I close the browser - is that common?

  • Mustafa OğuzTuesday, March 2, 2010 8:28:54 AM

    @ldeane
    Try to clean up your local stored Opera Link data. (Speed dial, Searches, Bookmarks etc.) then login Opera Link again to sync.

  • DillonTuesday, March 2, 2010 8:32:52 AM

    Nice, but you guys picked some of the weirdest resolutions for the wallpaper, haha. They're all 5:4 aspect ratio and the only 5:4 ratio screens I know are 1280x1024. There's no 4:3 or 16:10 (or 16:9) wallpapers.

  • Harish LakshminarayanaTuesday, March 2, 2010 8:35:36 AM

    working smooth here.. no hiccups with my browsing!
    @Ideane a clean install usually takes time to sync. No probs here with both an upgrade and a clean install on win7.

    @Gereford Opera does not natively support External Download Manager integration say via plugins (Its native DM is just gr8, do giv it a try). Its to be configured via the external application.
    FDM/Getright/DAP do have options to take over downloads from Opera, fiddle with their settings :smile:

  • Martin MyrsethTuesday, March 2, 2010 8:40:15 AM

    Iz awesome!

    Well, opera tried to catch windows ballot screen. Don't worry, we will get linux final in the following month i guess. Since then, you may check out current alpha build

    Congrats! I'm looking forward to the Mac version… :up:

  • Z1-AV69Tuesday, March 2, 2010 10:58:07 AM

    User comments on german tech-sites are far more positive than with previous versions. Almost no ranting about Opera, which was common in the last years.

    Downloaded RC this morning and Now Final.........WOOT!!!!!

  • YongShunTuesday, March 2, 2010 12:04:05 PM

    Chrome is trending but Opera is not...wtf... :sad:

  • GamposTuesday, March 2, 2010 1:05:06 PM

    Good but...The search via . and , doesn't work properly... I need to push F3 to search a phrase. Does anyone has the same issue?

    Edit: it appears that's the fault of upgrading from 10.10. A clean install solves it.

    Edit2: $@$@$@^%&! Don't ask how but it's not working again on a clean install... This pisses me off, argh!

  • Daniel ZiltenerTuesday, March 2, 2010 1:41:06 PM

    Hey, the Opera.com main page is right now one of the best designed ones I've ever seen! Congratulations!
    And the browser? Oh well, that one's the best one, too :bigsmile:

  • VictorTuesday, March 2, 2010 3:47:48 PM

    Thanks guys very much but I've found a solution to my problem. It seems the stable 10.50 version is having some serious problems with proxy. If anyone is having problems with slow Opera 10.50 and using a proxy try this:

    go to
    opera:config#Proxy
    and enable HTTP 1.1 for proxy and it should work perfectly.

    Damn, the 10.50 is fast :smile:

  • IKokeTuesday, March 2, 2010 3:54:53 PM

  • powrtochTuesday, March 2, 2010 3:58:57 PM

    No problems here. And this thing beats the hell out of every other browser on the market in javascript speed. Excellent UI upgrade, and hooray private browsing. More and more I don't know why anyone uses any other browser.

  • nightweelsTuesday, March 2, 2010 4:03:54 PM

    COOL! thats a toast for our victory!

  • HokkutTuesday, March 2, 2010 5:19:16 PM

    awesome) good job :yes:

  • Cutting SpoonTuesday, March 2, 2010 5:39:35 PM

    I can has netbook-size wallpaper...?

    Oh, the "Features" page has an editing error. You placed "read more" in the fraud protection blurb, yet there is no link.
