Yay, one of great browser on earth, Opera, has a new version. It is Opera 10. Currently, the status of development is still beta but it already covers most of new features. I will brief some new features of Opera 10. Here is the list

1. Acid Test
One of my favorite test for browser is Acid Test. Lets see how Opera can handle the most difficult Acid Test 3. The result is awesome, 100/100. As far as I know, only Opera 10 and Safari 4 which succeed in Acid Test 3.

2. Opera Turbo
The main new features of Opera 10. Wow, it sounds like turbo of car . This feature enable you to browse faster even when you have slow internet connection speed. From its website, compression technology is used to build Opera Turbo technology. I have tried Opera 10 and you know, it is really faster than Google Chrome. FYI, I use Google Chrome everyday as my main browser.
