My favorite new feature is the new skin. It's sleek and simple. Just the way I like it.

Opera is fast, but you can only go as fast as your connection will let you, right? Wrong. Opera Turbo lets you surf fast anywhere, anytime. For free!

Andrew Nguyen

I love the Speed Dial improvements in Opera 10. With these improvements I can personalize Speed Dial, my favorite and most used feature in Opera.

Daniel Hendrycks

My favorite Opera 10 feature is Opera Link! With Opera Link my browser cares for synchronizing my bookmarks, my Speed Dials and my notes as also my searches and my history between my desktop PC, my notebook and my mobile phone just without having me to even think about it! And if I shouldn't have Opera available once, I just head to link.opera.com and I've my links and notes just there. That's marvelous!

Features that were introduced with Opera 10? All of them!
But inline spell check and Turbo probably step out a bit, since I use/need them the most.

Back in the days, a rich email composer was on the mind of almost everyone. Now few remember this - it's funny. I would say that's my favorite new feature in Opera - together with all the important improvements to Opera Mail.

Congratulations to Opera for the new release!

I like Opera mostly for security! Opera is the only one browser without security holes (according to Secunia).
Charles SchlossFriday, September 11, 2009 4:10:46 PM
Opera 10 is the only browser that I know of that supports TLS 1.2, ITs very fast turbo charged speed, improved speeddial,

The well-know security and speed + spellchecker and Speed Dial improvements.

Favourite feature? Definitively it's speed, lightweightness and responsvity. That is why I choose Opera. You say, it is not a feature? For me it is.

The unmatched level of customization possible, allowing me to place every element of the browser exactly where I want it be.
ZodiusFriday, September 11, 2009 8:43:50 PM
Too many to name, but my most favorite feature would be the new tab previews!
Mağruf ÇolakoğluFriday, September 11, 2009 9:34:45 PM
Absolutely , Speed improvements and Turbo.

My favorite Opera 10 feature? Well, there are so many. It's a fantastic, complete package.

But if I had to narrow it down to one feature, it's probably the Opera Link. Fast, easy, no hassle backups of my bookmarks, notes, history.

The new feature I like very much is the customisation of speed dial, simply awesome.

Well... rarely do I use a PC / MAC anymore.

But "Opera Mini" will out-perform anything that RIM or "IPHONE" has bundled.

Cheers

Bookmark syncing and URL shortcut web searching.

Besides the obvious favourites such Opera Link, Speed Dial and others I love the ones which are often overlooked:
1) Ability to change individual cookies.
2) WAP Site Support
3) Dragonfly
4) USER-AGENT masker for anti-Opera websites.
5) Page Zoom (other browsers' zoom feature sucks)
6) User-defined CSS
7) Small Screen View (Shift+F11)

my favorite feature is the new presto rendering engine. it's absolutely amazing and much quicker than the previous incarnation!
icareMonday, September 14, 2009 4:37:34 PM
My favorite would be Unite, when Unite is there.

I also like the speed and the new look. The ability to use webmail with the menu "send by mail" is great, too.

I really can't fathom why other browsers haven't adopted the speed-dial... to me it's must have.
The inline-spelling has saved me from screwing a couple of things up:)

Faster, smaller, friendlier with more AJAX. Now Flash seems to work on it under Linux (mostly; I get little Operapluginwrapper crash notices and Opera stays open for business, which is a great improvement.)

I love Opera Link most. It helps me access my notes using cellphone.

Other than Opera Link, all Opera stuffs are simply awesome
Vikram ahlawatSaturday, September 19, 2009 8:23:33 PM
from where did i get it tell me guys
PfelelepMonday, September 21, 2009 10:06:12 AM
speed, and HTML mail support.
Opera can almost do it all on my laptop.

Next request: would Opera pour me a coffee? Dark, no sugar, thanks
Wolfgang BaronMonday, September 21, 2009 2:34:30 PM
Good: Speed, usability, sessions, all in one (email etc.)

Bad: still unnecessary incompatibility issues with IE sites like online banking etc.

Looking forward to: UNITE, UNITE, UNITE! (The beta is really nice, but it installs next to the normal browser, so I have separate bookmarks etc.
