Opera Software today has made available for download the third beta version of its Opera 10 browser software. Performance and stability were prioritized for the latest release, Opera says.

"For us, it is a resounding success when more than one million people use your beta and are excited enough to give us so much actionable feedback," said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. "This third beta comes after a lot of careful improvements. We have never released such a solid piece of technology that not only runs seamlessly, but is so nice to look at as well. I am proud of this release, and I hope that the Web-using world will benefit from a browser that is truly ready to do some heavy lifting."

New features also find their way into Opera 10 Beta 3. These include tab tweaks such as more options for tab placement and the ability to view visual thumbnail tabs on the right or left side of the screen, a "more efficient" UI, support for up to 38 languages, crash prevention through an integrated crash logger, and refinements to Opera Turbo.
