Opera 10 Computer Software Downloaded 10M Times in First Week

Latest version of Opera for their browser was not long, but in its first week has been downloaded more than 10 million times, a review of Opera 10 is now shown on MacRumors and looks into the overall performance, functionality and improvements interface.

Performance wise Opera performs well enough, but this is not the fastest browser available, they have conducted a series of tests on a MacBook 2GHz Core 2 Duo, one of the tests involved made a test page XHTML, Firefox took 2.66 seconds Opera 1.83 Safari took 4 seconds and took 49 seconds.

Another test was a test CSS, Firefox was again the slowest taking 361M, Opera and Safari 152 ms makes it even better by taking only 35 ms, where the opera itself was abandoned performance with JavaScript MacRumors took the test SunSpider JavaScript, Opera took 6144.6 ms, 1464.4 took Firefox and Safari remains the best score of 756.4 ms.

Obviously benchmarks do not tell the whole story, design and functionality is also extremely important Some features like Speed Dial is great, but some of these traits seem quite relevant in a Web browser. [via product-reviews]
