Mozilla (Firefox), Microsoft (Internet Explorer), Apple (Safari), and Google (Chrome) have all recently released new browser versions for the next-gen browser wars, and soon Opera will join the pack. In the meantime, Opera Software today announced the first release candidate for Opera 10.
"The release candidate pushes us closer to the final launch of Opera 10," said Jan Standal, VP of Desktop Products, Opera. "We paid special attention to the mail client, which is one of our most enduring and popular features."
According to Opera Software, the RC is feature complete and sports a fresh look, a new application icon, and of course improved speed and performance over previous versions, up to 40 percent faster than Opera 9.6, the software maker claims. Other new features include an inline spell-checker, automated crash reporting, Web integration for email, a resizable search field, RSS Feed previews, and more.
Interested in giving Opera 10 a spin? Grab your copy here, or chill out until September 1st when the final version is expected to launch.

Keep posting Opera update articles. I think it may have attracted one more user. It's a long dark road watching a browser go under. Lets all watch it happen together.

Hey! We all know that the one browser deserving of hate is Safari!

Ahhh Opera. My fav browser till chrome managed to bribe me in with speed. Opera will still have a spot in my heart.... superior session management, slickness, nice themes, those myopera anywhere-you-go bookmarks.

Ahh how I love Opera. It's a shame it is so under-rated.

I'm running Opera 10 Beta 3 myself (until I upgrade to the RC). The best bits are the sidebar, Speed Dial, Ctrl+Z to reopen a tab and the dedicated Transfers page. If only Widgets were integrated into the browser instead of a separate window, then Opera would be the ultimate browser.
