Opera 10 Final

Opera is a beautiful piece of software. It's much more polished than any other browser I use. It's just a bit too bulky for me, and I've always felt at home with Firefox.
But for those of you saying it has rendering quirks...I disagree. I've been coding for Opera since version 7, and I don't have any problems with its rendering engine. ;)

Indeed! Plus, dragonfly has to reload the page. If they ever fix that then I'll be happy ^_^

However, Mr. Choco, the JS engine is still 2-3x slower than Firefox's, at least in high-level looping tests. :P

I should note that Firefox 3.5.2 completely fails the acid3 test for me. It passed it the first few times, then that went down the drain... downnnnnnn the drain. It gets a 93/100 but the animation isn't smooth and the page looks nothing like the acid3 reference page. :P

I use Opera 10, what doyou use?
I'm actually still using the beta version of 10, but even when I first started to use Opera at version 9.26, it never froze like that, especially only after 30 seconds of opening it.

Just did some benchmarks in Opera / Firefox and Firefox's JS engine is at least much faster (2-3x, in fact.)

I want to see those. I ran tests to see how fast Opera vs Firefox vs IE 8 could retrieve and set the innerHTML of div elements. Opera is fastest, followed by Firefox followed by IE.

Any browser EA uses is surely something to be passed on :#

I did testing with some loops.

Moments ago I completed my download and installation of Opera 10 for Linux. I'm extremely impressed with the results. It's speedy, responsive and (most of all) sexy. I will be using Opera once more. ^_^

Glomp!
