Opera 10.5 Pre-Alpha is pretty darn cool

Opera 10.5 is what Opera 10 should have been.

It is damn fast. And it looks more like a native application on the three different platforms.

It also add support for private browsing that was missing in the previous versions.

The only thing that irritates me is the missing feature that saves your data on text boxes in web based forms.

This is something they should have added in this version. I have been waiting for it since version 6 or 7 when I first started using Opera regularly.

The pre-alpha edition which is available right now is pretty unstable. It also has tons of bugs. But it works fine as long as you are ready to restart it on a regular basis. I cannot wait for it to reach beta/rc stages.

Here is the Opera’s video player that supports the HTML5 video specifications…

Read your 3 idiots blog - you are an Opera fan too !

Hmmm..I tried it on the Windows system in the hospital. It crashes oftener; but then that is expected because it is alpha release. It would take time for this to mature; meanwhile I haven't yet downloaded the just released Unix version. I'm waiting for the beta/rc version atleast.

I still prefer Google Chrome for the time being. It's awesome :) Use opera while checking email and RSS feeds.
