Opera 10.0 Beta Build 6550 / 9.64 Build 5270

Major Features:

1. Fresh new look: The Opera interface is designed to make the advanced functions easy and effective to use. Menus, toolbars and other elements have undergone "slim and clean"-routine. The licensed version has the largest browsing area in the industry.
2. Security: Stay away from spy-ware, viruses, and other malicious applications that silently attack your computer while you are surfing the Web. For example, Opera displays security information inside the address bar, located next to the padlock icon that indicates the level of security present on a site. Opera 8 also provides protection against phishing attacks and automatically checks for security updates. More about security
3. Speed: Were holding on to claim: "The Fastest Browser on Earth". In Opera 8, further improvements have been made in the way the browser reads pages to allow you to fly the Web.
4. Tabbed browsing and pop-up blocking: Opera pioneered tabs and pop-up blocking ages ago. But they're still key features that more and more people start enjoying. With tabs you can open multiple pages within the same application window. Opera lets you control whether to block all pop-ups, or open only the ones that you have requested.
5. Integrated search: Search your favorite sites, for example Google, eBay, or Amazon without having to go to their Web pages. Use the integrated search window or search directly in the address field using shortcuts (e.g. writing "g Opera" in the address field will search for "Opera" using Google).
6. Customization: Using the appearance dialog you can make Opera look almost any way you want. Move buttons and search fields, add and remove toolbars, and so forth. Opera skins can change the look of your browser by giving it the icons and buttons of your choice.
7. Password manager: Operas password manager, the Wand, remembers your usernames and passwords so you will not have to. The password manager can store more than one username and password combination for each page, and will let you choose which one to use if multiple combinations are stored.
8. Additional features:
   • Full support for Gmail
   • Support for Atom newsfeeds
   • First Web browser to natively support Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).
