"Refresh this page..."

Or, if you're already using Opera, just rt-click and choose "Reload Every > x minutes"

(Yes, "Reload Every > 5 seconds" works just fine for me!)

That article has a very weird statement: "Opera's always lagged behind the main contenders." What does that mean?

Looks like they are talking about users, but my first idea was that it was about speed

Based on the sentence it's in, I'd say they're referring to number of users.

From the article:
Opera's always lagged behind the main contenders. We'll have to see if this beta picks up on users.

Obviously, they are talking about market share.

Anyway, for what it's worth, I have also reviewed the new build for my personal blog: http://www.pallab.net/2010/06/16/opera-10-60-beta-1/

Hi Espen,

Can you tell me why when ever I try to "Share" anything from Opera including this blog from you with Facebook I get a blocked content restriction. I used to be able to get around this by doing a direct link inside of Opera but not anymore. Believe me I do not deal with any kind of restricted material and want no part of that!

I hope this can be resolved, I know I am not the only one having this concern!

Crysta

Awesome guys, you've helped me majorly in the way I help others! I fix computers and donate half of the proceeds to charity, by adding a social interface to opera I've decided to install it first thing on all of my customer's computers so they can talk to me anytime they have an issue; keep up the amazing work and I'll keep supporting you!

I would love if you expanded upon the messenger app, it's lacking!
