Hands On: the Supercharged Opera 10.5 Browser

Security Improvements



This 100th-point version of the Norwegian browser fixes several user-interface and security issues.

Installation Choice



The installer lets you choose whether to keep or replace your existing verison of the browser.

The Main Browser Window



Notice the new O tab, which compacts a lot of the interface controls, leaving more room for your web page.

The "O" Menu



The new menu is now the only option atop the browser window aside from adding tabs and searching. As you can see, all of Opera's capabilities are available here.

Old-style Menus



Alternatively, you can choose to display the standard menu bar.

Link, Unite, and Turbo Icons



At the bottom left of the browser window, these icons turn on Opera's special features: Unite, Turbo, and Link.

Recycle Closed Tabs



This icon at the right-top of the browser window lets you easily re-open closed browser tabs.

Page Search



Opera makes finding text on a page very clear, by darkening all but found search terms.

Acid3



On the Web Standards Projects Acid3 compatibility test, Opera gets 100 percent. Note also the page zoom options from the lower-right corner—very handy!

Private Browsing Mode



With this version, Opera also catches up to Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer by adding a private browsing mode that destroys evidence of your web surfing session
