Opera 10.50 beta 2 keeps the pedal to the metal
As you'd expect with a beta build, the changelog sports a lengthy list of bug and crash fixes and there have also been numerous subtle tweaks to the default skin. The opera:config interface has also been improved -- and is simply awesome, if you're a DIY browser tweaker. Beyond that, widgets and Opera Unite have also been retooled and 10.50 beta 'feels' very solid.
After surfing heavily for the entire morning, beta 2 seems to be a big improvement in terms of reliability and stability. I haven't yet had to click off an Opera crash report window.
You can download Opera 10.50 beta 2 for Windows directly from Opera's FTP server. Linux and Mac users waiting to check out the browser and its zippy new Carakan Javascript engine will have to wait a bit longer, but Opera assures that test builds will be available soon.

I am a big fan of Opera browser. But it's not an officially supported browser for Google software like Google Docs so I don't use it anymore. If you rely on Google Docs you can't trust that it will work with Opera. I wish Google would support it though.

Just use Opera for everything else, and some other browser for the site that blocks Opera.

There are -- and have been -- test builds of Linux and Mac 10.5. You should read a little further down.
They're a little behind, just going into beta RC (still alpha) but do work, and for the most part work pretty nicely.

Opera even makes it easy for you to open sites in different browsers lol.
Just right click page. Open with > Select browser .
