Video: Opera 10 promises Turbo browsing using Scandinavian flat-packing knowhow (Engadget)

Sep 1st 2009 6:52AM Opera has always been buggy with Ubuntu for me, even when i was using 8.04 and even now when i've upgraded. Video was terrible in both to be honest (friggin' Atom) but Opera was the only browser that ever *crashed* while trying it.

Only using SUSE becasue of power management problems with Ubuntu, and possibly was a bad choice. Although I do enjoy being able to print...

Video: Opera 10 promises Turbo browsing using Scandinavian flat-packing knowhow (Engadget)

Sep 1st 2009 5:29AM I've been using Opera 10 for the last while on my PPC iBook and its great. I like how Opera still supports the older Mac OS X (10.3.9) while you can't even get Firefox 3 for that version. I've also seen Opera (Opera ver.9 *without* using Turbo) double or near triple the browsing speeds on an old 333Mhz iMac when compared to Safari and FF.

Opera on my Linux boxes (Ubuntu and OpenSUSE) is far too buggy to be useful, you can do basic Internet browsing quickly and easily but try to do anything else (upload anything, play video etc.) and it will bug out.

Opera in windows is ok, but Internet browsing in Windows always scares me (its like having sex with a prostitute, tons of people do it everyday but you know its bad for you). However if I have to do it, Opera's the condom I bring along
