Opera 10.5 faster than Google Chrome 5

Posted on:February 15 2010

Looks like Opera 10.5 beta is 29% faster than the current fastest browser, Google Chrome 5, according to this test. Dear Opera team, great work! Looking forward to the release.

"It’s more than 10x faster in SunSpider than Opera 10.10 with Futhark on Windows (Mac optimization is not as far along)."

10.5 is newer than 10.10? :M

Does Opera have some good adblocking?

Wow, your blog still doesnt work. :/

It seems the version is actually called 10.50? At least theres a link to a 10.50 version on opera.com.

I'm using Opera 10.50 since its first Pre-Alpha. I really enjoy the speed and the Window 7 integration. However it still crashes from time to time =(

@Matthias: Yes Opera has an built-in ad-block support. However there's no support for online 'block-lists', like in Adblock-Plus for Firefox. So you've to manually maintain the block-list =(

Nice! I don't really use anything other than Firefox, but I do keep all 4 browsers [IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera] on my desktop for occasional use.

I've been using Opera 10 for a while and it's fantastic. I'm going to wait for a more stable release to try 10.5
