Opera 10.5 alpha, Really impressive

[Regenweald]

Is anyone else testing this ? So far I'm very impressed with its potential, believe it or not, this thing is faster than chromium :) Lots of areas to improve, obviously, but this crashy alpha is using the flash 64bit plugin and rendering images on manga reading sites, two specific areas where chromium is currently failing.

I honestly believe that 10.5 will be near perfect. For more specific info, check:http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/

Happy testing!

Edit: shot attached, not how I can edit posts properly, something chromium is still struggling with ;)

I always test Opera Alpha's, but my favourite alpha so far has always been the 10 with unite enabled.

[Regenweald]

I haven't quite gotten around to testing unite yet, Has it proven useful to you ?

A bit. I used it as a server to host files on while I was on holiday, it was pretty good.

Recently i toyed with the idea of using for a transfer to my sis in NY. Ended up using snail-skype transfers on a whim though. Painful. Seeing as Opera is going to become my default come 10.5 final, I'll look into it then.

I'm checking out version 10.5 alpha, it's amazing! When they release a beta version, I'll probably switch to Opera from Chromium. I think they should have called it Opera 11, because the differences from Opera 10 are huge.

Pretty damn huge :) Especially since they removed Qt (nothing against qt) and went native. The load time and responsiveness is great.

That's what Opera betas/alphas are always like :) Oh, and this is a pre-alpha at the moment.

The Opera 10.10 that I am using is a much better browser than Chromium and seems to be faster than anything else I have. It only lacks No-script. If the next upgrade is better there will not be any contest.

F12 -> Enable Javascript -> Click to disable.

F12 -> Enable Javascript -> Click to disable.

Turning off all javascript is not how noScript works. It allows you to pick and choose what domains can use javascript and what can't. It's much more innovative than adblock, which actually suffers from deviantart's adblock block script, as with Wikipedia's logo malfunction, unless they were fixed.

was fixed on deviantart, which makes sense, as most dA's users are ardent FF users.

Not exactly the same but you can do similar thing in Opera as well. Just turn off Javascript and then allow it thru site specific preferences.

In that case, simply do

Tools -> Preferences -> Advance(tab) -> Content -> Server Manager -> Add -> Enter website -> Scripting(tab) -> Enable Javascript(untick if you don't want on that website, tick if you do want). -> Click ok

OR

Right click -> Site preferences -> Scripting(tab) -> Enable Javascript(untick if you don't want on that website, tick if you do want)

To do a ad-block time thing,

Right click -> Block content -> Click on image/video(not text) -> Click Done

There is a userjs called BlockIt.js search the Opera forums for it. It works very much like NoScript and is just as good for my purposes.

To do this, copy this and save it in a file called BlockIt.js, and put it in a folder

Then

Tools -> Preferences -> Advance -> Content -> Javascript Options -> User Javascript file -> Find the folder with the javascript file in. -> ok

To do this, copy this and save it in a file called BlockIt.js, and put it in a folder

Or just enable Unite, go to unite.opera.com and install UserJS Manager for Unite and then open the .user.js file in Opera and it UserJS Manager should notice it and guide you through.
Of course that is not possible atm. with 10.50 as Unite is not in 10.50 yet.

I wouldn't recommend using Unite too much at current stages. It slows things down if you have it on permanently. And yes, it's not in 10.50. But I still wouldn't recommend having it on the non-pre-alpha versions.

Does it have a point and click AdBlock plugin? That's really all that keeps me with Firefox; don't get me wrong, I think Firefox is a great browser, but I have always liked Opera better over all, but easy, set it and forget it AdBlocking is essential for me, I won't consider leaving Firefox until there is a browser with that feature.

It's not a plugin. It's built in. Right-click anywhere on the page and select "Block Content", and then click which things you wish to block. Easy as that.

Fanboy's list probably the main/most popular adblocker for Opera.

Copy that and place in your /home/user/.opera folder . Do it once every few months or whenever it's became the case that ads start leaking though.

I know it's not exactly set and forget, but it's not asking *that* much is it?

On Topic: Opera 10.5 is awesome. Well buggy as heck as expected from pre-alpha, and a dreadful 100% cpu usage bug in my case, but faster than chrome :D . And I don't think it's just people saying it, the usual benchmark tests for what they're worth show that too I think.

[fillintheblanks]

soon to be the best browser on linux :guitar:

[ratcheer]

I am running Opera 10.5 right now. I like it, but it doesn't seem all so much better than any other recent browser. Nor any faster, really.

I don't plan on testing this until it is in true alpha (currently pre-alpha) or beta, but I am really excited.

Opera 10 was a nice-sized jump from Opera 9.6, but it wasn't huge. Opera 10.5, however, looks like a giant leap forward. If it's half as good as I've seen in benchmarks, screenshots, and read about on forums/blogs it'll be epic.

Opera is really low in market share at the moment (around 1.5-2.5%). Honestly, it's sometimes called "the best browser that nobody uses."

Forget that.

I want to see it be called the best browser, period. Maybe 10.5 is enough to make that happen. Only time will tell.

I think the main competition to Opera is chrome - in terms of old users moving to another browser. This is what happened with me, although I always install the latest Opera alpha/beta/release, because I use them to do things with one display. Opera's tabs don't play as nicely with multiple screens as Chrome/Chromium.

Is the font problem fixed it opera-devel ?

Yes, more or less - but some older themes(for nine or earlier, and some for ten) will cause the text to become invisible in the menus, as a new graphical system is being used. The alpha, beta, and RC will improve on this even more, so it will become a lot more native to your system. GTK, QT, etc.
