Opera 10.52 final now available for Mac
If you own a Mac and have been waiting for a final build before trying out "the world's fastest browser," now's your chance. Opera has released version 10.52 for Mac -- for both current Intel systems and older, non-Intel machines.
What does Opera 10.5 have going for it? Well, there's that speedy Carakan JavaScript engine, Opera Unite (a handy tool for less technically-apt users to share files, communicate, and more), Opera Turbo compression (great for dial-up, satellite, and 3G users), and there's also Opera Link... to keep your desktop browsing in sync with Opera Mini on your iPhone. Multi-touch gesture support is also built-in.
Opera's post states that 10.5 is about 10 times faster than the previous Mac version. They don't get scientific about it, but there's not really a need: it's fast. Chrome/Safari fast.
By the way, is anyone else surprised Opera hasn't trademarked that fastest browser bit yet?

Opera used 'the fastest browser' way back it was a paid application. Then they switched to 'the simply best internet experience'. They dropped it some time ago too.

Maybe is because they know that other browsers will not take long to catch up or even surpass Opera's speed!

One of these developers that put tabs on top are going to realize that it makes so much more sense to tuck it right up into the menu bar ala safari 4 beta. Seriously that feature alone would tempt me to switch to Opera if it is as fast and compatible as Safari. I like the extra screen real estate.
