Internet Users Will Get Faster Surfing Speeds with Opera 10.5
- March 3rd, 2010
Internet users are soon going to be offered a better browser, which will improve their surfing experience. This new browser apparently offers the fastest browsing speed as yet.
The browser, christened Opera 10.5, is going to be the latest offering from Opera. Compared with the earlier Opera 10.10, this is supposed to be eight times faster.
This news, brought to light by Computerworld, the computer news magazine, has been confirmed by the magazine’s own testing team. The magazine put Opera 10.5 through benchmark testing. When compared to the currently existing most-favoured web browsers like Safari and Google Chrome, Opera 10.5 has been found to be the swiftest of them all.
Before the launch of Opera10.5, Safari and Google Chrome were considered to be the two fastest browsers, but Opera10.5 seems all set to overtake them, being fifteen percent and twenty percent faster than Safari and Google Chrome respectively. Other browsers also did not fare any better when compared with the speed of Opera10.5. The speed of Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 was found to be ten times slower, while Opera10.5 is two times faster than Mozilla Firefox 3.6.
Although the most unique feature of Opera10.5 is great speed, there are also other attractive features. It provides support for Windows 7’s Aero Peek and Jump List features. There is a better interface and the menus utilise less space. Privacy is also being taken care of. The user can mark any tab to be private and that will block the browsing history from getting stored.
The formal launch of this new browser will be in the near future but users can download the beta version to experience the benefits of using the fastest browser currently available.
