Opera Release 10

[Simon Preston]

Thought I'd give this its own thread rather than playing second fiddle in Firefox's thread.

Have been using this for a while now and it's pretty much replaced Firefox for all my browsing. So much so I haven't even installed Firefox back onto my PC when I installed Windows 7. Love the speed dial and the inbuilt spell checker (even if it is in US English), most of all, I just love how quick it is at loading up and responsiveness.

Yeah loves it! Been using Opera since version 5 though

If you right click in a text box there is the option for Dictionaries->add/remove -- should let you download UK English.

Aye, I also used Opera back at version 6. But the ads in the corner put me off using it permanently. The interface on Opera 10 is so much cleaner and smarter looking.
Cheers for the info on the dictionary. Just installed it.

Opera 10.5 Beta is out. I tend not to install pre-releases and wait for the full thing but if you want to give it a go:
