Opera – Fastest Browser?
Standards-Friendly beta makes it “fastest browser on earth“
Dubbed The ‘Fastest browser on Earth’ the beta of Opera 10.60 is 50 percent faster than it’s predecessor in selected JavaScript tests. However, while Opera’s speed is grabbing headlines it also boasts a host of new web-standard features. These include Geolocation, WebM support for HTLM5 video and new interface. Geolocation detects location and maps the user in the middle of the action, ideal for accurate location-specific search results.
The high-quality, open video format WebM is now built right into the browser, making viewing videos online even easier. Other features include HTML5 AppCache which allows you to use different applications – such as word processor, image editor, spreadsheets and much more – in a web browser even when offline. Web developers can now also use HTML5 Web Workers for doing heavy calculations without making the browsing slower for the user.
Chief development officer at Opera Software Christen Krogh said, “Opera 10.60 beta is so fast it will blow you away”. He added, “Beyond the speed boost, the latest version improves on our robust HTML5 support and provides more options for quick and efficient web search through your preffered search engines. By combining raw speed with easy-to-use features, Opera places you among the fastes internet users on the planet.” Download 10.60 at http://www.opera.com/browser/
