I use Opera , FF as well as Chrome and IE [old]

I some how still prefer FF [aint i got a good sense of adventure ]

FF --> My major browsing habits

Opera -->When i need to open a site in a hurry

IE --> Some Microsoft sites open in IE only

Chrome -->An alternative to FF , But i dont use it much as FF keeps me more than happy

What do you think about it so far ?
It says in the website that, they are using new rendering engine called Opera Presto 2.2. And is going to be 30% faster. Anyway it's good that they included spell checker.

Yes, the speed is really great. Noticeable improvement in speed.
And, saying about spell checker....It is good to have added that. But, the word database is not so good. Anyway, that doesn't matter too much.

Overall, the browser has improved...

Opera 10 Alpha is a little faster than other versions. But still doesn't support scripts much. The spell checker is not as good as Firefox's, but it's better than not having one at all. They have not even tried to improve/modify inbuilt Bit-Torrent downloader after adding it. My Ad-Blocker is working with Opera 10 alpha. So I will give it a try.
