"The fastest browser on Earth" is now available for download

A Opera 10.50 we have been following closely for some time, especially since, with the improvements included, is becoming one of the best browsers available. Not only is it pretty fast, but both the renewed interface, like all the added features to complement the navigation, make it a fairly complete package.
And after a hectic period of development (where we saw not only different Betas, but final candidates with days off), now we have with us the final version of Opera 10.5, perhaps rushing out to have the new version ready for compete in Europe, where Microsoft has been forced to display a screen with different choices of browsers (the popular "Ballot Screen")
But let's leave that issue aside, and focus on Opera. As we saw last month, Opera 1050 is among the fastest browsers and brings some security features that will draw attention of many. We have already seen in the past (as many are taken from Opera 10), but it is worth recounting:

OperaUnite: It allows us to share our music, photos, files, and what we have in our PC on the Internet, some two or three clicks. Basically, our PC becomes a server.

Opera Turbo: Turbo Opera is one of the features that really stand out from Opera, and make it a perfect browser for slow connections. Opera Turbo, before sending the page you want to visit, pass through their servers and compresses, causing heavy gets a page in less time. Also perfect when we are connecting with a 3G connection, where we charge by the megabyte.


Renewed Interface: The new interface in Opera is really beautiful and quite functional. One of the complaints in the past he had with Opera, was that, like Firefox (unchanged) or Internet Explorer, takes up too much screen space, leaving less space for the pages. Opera does not happen in 1050, where almost all the menus and options disappear, leaving ample space for webpages. Moreover, it offers great integration with Windows 7

Improved UI: Annoying dialogue-boxes have been removed. Various features like Wand and Find are now integrated into the UI.


Improved Find:


Windows 7 Integration:


Per-Tab Private Browsing:


Presto







Opera Widgets on yourdesktop: Now we can transport Opera widgets, and move it to your desk. As separate processes, widgets can behave like desktop items. Still, I still seem a worse alternative than the Chrome or Firefox extensions.

Opera Link: They have more than one PC with Opera, or using Opera Mini / Mobile on the phone? With Opera Link can keep everything in sync, including favorites, browsing history, custom searches, and more.
