In its first week since release, Opera 10 with Turbo Browsing has been downloaded more than 10 million times, Opera Software announced today.
"While we have consistently grown in our download rates with each consecutive launch, Opera 10 has far exceeded any previous record we had," said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. "To us, this means that Opera 10 delivers a more compelling reason to choose Opera, and that reason is Opera Turbo. The concept of turbo browser was the result of our One Web initiative, as our goal is to ensure that Web browser is fast, efficient, and universal, anytime, anywhere."
For those of you who might have missed it before, Opera's Turbo mode is a cross-platform solution that compresses up to 80 percent of network traffic. Dial-up users stand to benefit the most, but even broadband users and WiFi roamers should see performance gains by flipping the Turbo switch.

I run a 32 bit vista home premium and opera 10 keeps crashing right off the bat. I can't get it to work for longer than a minute. Is it my system or did I just get a bad download? Would a reinstall help correct the problem? Anyone else got the same problem?

I'm guessing you have a bad download, I just downloaded & installed it in less then 20 seconds with Windows 7 64-Bit and it's AMAZINGLY FAST. I'm loving it so far. I will miss the FF plugin functionality though.

I started using Opera 10 for Ubuntu 2 days ago and love the fact that they have a 64 bit version. I am still test driving the browser and I have no complants. I got tired of Firefox (not ver 3.5) disappering, I mean crashing on me . I tried Opera a few years back and deceided to use Firefox. Looks like I will be moving from Firefox to Opera 10 Turbo.

What's wrong with your pc? I've been using Firefox since it was released and it's only crashed on me a handful of times.

I'll advocate the same thing. Firefox on 64bit Linux has been nicknamed "sir-crashalot".
Opera runs totally solid on every platform I've ever used it on. Besides, I've always liked Opera better anyway.
