Opera 10.60 Brings More Than Speed

“Opera keeps churning out new releases faster than you can say
“Vuvuzelas are annoying.” With the 10.60 beta, Opera is faster,
smarter, location aware, and serving up WebM video. Waiting for
10.50 final for Linux? Forget it, hop on board the beta train to
10.60.

altogether and jump ahead to 10.60. At the speed the company is
releasing new builds, it’s not hard to see why. Let’s take a look

speed supremacy over Google Chrome and Safari. The company says
that this release is 50% faster for JavaScript than 10.50. I
usually like to benchmark Opera versus the latest Chrome and
Firefox, but was a bit hesitant to try benchmarking this time
around. Not because of any flaws with Opera, but because my ISP
(Charter) was providing flaky service. I couldn’t be sure that
conditions would remain the same between browser tests, so I opted
to hold off.”
