First Beta of Opera 10 Released 278
Miladinoski writes "Opera Software ASA today released the first beta of their tenth version of the Opera browser. In addition to the browser's known features, like mouse gestures, keyboard shortcuts, voice navigation, mail and RSS support, speed dial and so forth, it now includes a Turbo mode which unclogs your connection to get faster browsing, a new interface, a tabbed browsing update and customizable speed dial. Opera 10 continues to follow the web standards by getting 100/100 and pixel-perfect scores on the Acid3 test. The beta is currently available for every modern OS platform."

Unclogs your connection?
So the internet is... like a series of tubes?
Turbo button...yes! (Score:0, Funny)
So I can go from 16Mhz to 32Mhz browsing at the touch of a button, you say? I'm all for it! Wait a second....

Really? Says who? I can't find any such statement on Operas site, and if it's true - where's the build for AmigaOS 4.1?
The beta is available for all modern OSes (Score:5, Funny)
Just FYI: in addition to the beta being available for all modern OSes, I see there is also a version for Windows.

Of course, Operea isn't as fast as Opera. You should be cautious of cheap Chinese knock-offs.

The internet is more like a plumbing trap.
People pour masses of crap down it, but occasionally you need to reach in and search for a valuable item, and you come out covered in shit.
What were we talking about again?

You can download Opera for AmigaOS 4.1 from the Timex-Sinclair server.

Well, slashdot does very good job to be browser-agnostic:
Looks like a shit in any browser.

And it's only by accident that the valuable item ever got there in the first place.
And if you look at everything going through, you find a surprising number of body parts...
