After reading Opera had released a  new beta last Thursday and it was reported to be  super fast, I had to download and try it. I’ve always thought Opera to be an incredible browser and people, this beta is a rocket!!  Hold on, let me backup  for a second.

I used Opera for about a year. ( see my previous post here )   I loved my Opera. I think it’s fantastic the way the email has been integrated. The security features are good.  The interface is easy enough and skinning  is simple ( although some cooler skins would be nice ). I could go on for an hour about why I liked that program,  but let’s get to the meat of things here.  Opera seemed to get slower and slower with every update. When we updated to 10.10, it became what we considered unusable. Yes, of course it was usable. But for us guys, needing instant gratification, it was over. I changed to firefox. It is faster than Opera 10.10, but other than that, it doesn’t really excite me. Which brings me back to  Opera 10.50 beta.

It was very unstable as is to be expected with a new beta. And I only used it for a short time because when I tried to skin it, well, let’s say it didn’t like it. But holly sh..t, it was fast. I mean, the fastest I HAVE EVER  SEEN! I’m not sure the average computer user would want to download this right now, and if you do, I’d say try it without the skins.  But I am very excited after taking this for a spin. Going from something so slow to this really blew me away. In a few months, I’ll be putting Firefox to bed, and once again be using the best Browser!! Opera.
