    I like the Skin, the Opera 10 Wallpaper, Tabs preview and the 4x3 Speed Dial. Ah right and Turbo is really cool with my connection!

    owh.. d'great opera10 i like u.. where dwnld to U?

  • mkrzych4. June 2009, 04:47

    I love Opera 10 beta. It's fast, stable and easy to use with some small, but nice UI redesign. BUT, still no 1Password support and it's keeping me away from switching completely to Opera. Safari is more integrated with Mac OSX. Opera has still closed APIs and that's why 1Password cannot be integrated with it, shame on you Opera!

  • Aleksander4. June 2009, 15:48

    @EspenAO:

    I wonder wouldn't it be better if Turbo were emphasized not only for its speeding-up, but also for its traffic-down?

    Yesterday when I went to pay a phone bill at a mobile carrier here, they spammed me with cheap laptop offers in conjunction with mobile Internet package.

    The package has a fixed monthly fee with a traffic limit (say, 25 GB). Each each next MB increases the bill beyond the fixed monthly fee.
    (I have no idea how much traffic I use monthly on my desktop)

    If traffic-down is to be advertised, I guess it would be nice ot add a traffic counter (as in Opera Mini) in opera:about, which would say how much traffic was done by Opera using Turbo, and how much would it be if Turbo was not used.

  • Razali19728. June 2009, 13:53

    opera 10 turbo,more fast and easy to use.very nice skin.well l like this thing.

  • Hannyvictor9. June 2009, 01:15

    Still got problem with cookies, user id and password even to my.opera com ... Surely cutting traffic is great idea ...

  • Olgita9. June 2009, 08:27

    Videos are great!

    I like the one baout the coffe!:smile:
    Made me laugh really!:smile:

  • EspenAO9. June 2009, 11:28

    Olgita, good stuff! Now, create your own Turbo Experience and share it! You can even win a cool Opera t-shirt!

  • Olgita9. June 2009, 11:45

    Are there any XXXL size?:wink: Then I will try to do that!:smile::wink:

  • EspenAO9. June 2009, 11:56

    Hehe. We do have XXL, but they're American sizes, not European, so they're actually pretty big!

  • Olgita9. June 2009, 12:04

    Great! :yes:

  • Chas49. June 2009, 14:44

  • JacobSnickers10. June 2009, 01:34

    Espen, watch the video of Turbo Dog I added to my blog. I hope you like it. Bonus points if you can guess where the music's from before the credits.

    Also, Opera's new spell check does not count "blog" as a word.

  • Aleksander10. June 2009, 09:11

    Espen just updated :smile:

  • EspenAO10. June 2009, 11:12

    We've received many cool submissions, so we will start handing out t-shirts already today, but we have many more, so keep those Turbo experiences coming!

    I really love Opera because the browser is real fast and I love the speed dial concept, great concept; I tried google chrome but sad to say, it is a bit slow now and it has been crashing lately; Opera is the best!

  • deersta1ker11. June 2009, 02:24

    I'm not a fan of this turbo feature. Many pictures look ugly pixelated, for example the red header of this page (may be, it depends on the skin) looks awful! I've loaded this page without any Turbo a few seconds before with normal pictures, at least they could be taken from cache somehow.

    In general page loading is quick, but the progress bar shows loading of last elements (like 54 of 56) much longer, than without turbo.

  • styagis11. June 2009, 02:58

    That's the whole point. The turbo feature compresses data to make it faster to download. If you have a fast connection and don't want compression, disable Turbo!
