Opera have released the beta 2 of their 10th generation web browser.
Opera 10 Beta 2 has had a slew of changes, including security, interface and stability changes. A full list is available in the change log.
New features in Opera 10 included an inline spell-checker, auto-update, and Opera Turbo for faster browsing on slower connections.
The new beta version can be downloaded Opera Next website.
I have gone and put Opera 9.64, Opera 10 Alpha, and Opera 10 Beta 1 through the Acid 3 test, V8 Benchmark, and SunSpider Benchmark tools to see how the new browser is stacking up.
The results are pleasing, with the browser clearly heading in the correct direction. Graphed results are below.
Opera has released Opera 10 beta to the public following months of development from the alpha version.
The new browser includes a new interface, visual tabs, Opera Turbo for fast browsing on slow connections, customisable speed dial, and a whole lot more.
A full list of changes can be found in the changelog, and the new release can be downloaded from the beta homepage.
