Opera pumps out 4th 10.50 RC build as browser ballot screen goes live
Why the rush? What could possibly be so important about getting every little bug squashed ASAP?
Well, there's that browser ballot screen thing which is scheduled to start rolling out across Windows desktops in the EU today.
Opera 10.50 is leaps and bounds better than its predecessor, and the ballot screen should certainly increase awareness among the general public. The new browser is fast, looks good, and very user friendly -- so there's every reason for the Opera crew to try and get 10.50 into the hands of EU users stat.
New RC builds are popping up so quickly I'd advise just sitting tight and waiting for the final version at this point. The changelogs are getting shorter as bugs get fixed, so it won't be long before Opera signs off on 10.50.

Let me say this, I LOVE Opera 10.5
But there were still quite a few bugs in the beta version, hopefully they don't rush it to hard and screw up somewhere.

Why can't Opera focus more on the essentials than adding all kinds of "features" that just includes more bugs and makes the browser more bloated? I will never use Opera Link, Opera Unite, Opera Mail, the included e-mail client, the mouse gesture stuff or download torrent files within the browser, so why can't they release them as add-ons instead?
Seriously, Firefox might be bloated speed and memory-wise, but I use every single included part of the web browser so I don't care about the speed nor the memory. I have enough of those to spare anyway. What I can't stand is for my applications to include stuff I never use. What a waste.
Oh, and according to the official Opera blog most RC versions have only slight changes (except for the first). And I still can't believe they dare to call it a RC as unstable as it is, RC4 is even more unstable and slow than the first beta was. Half of every page I visit stops loading halfway or something.
