It seems everyone right now is in a browser ‘update' mode, with Safari 5, Chrome 5 beta, 64bit Firefox beta and even demos of Internet Explorer 9 hitting the public domain.
Opera 10.60 beta has been recently released which offers a slew of improvements when compared to the current 10.53 version. I have been playing with it a lot recently and am very impressed with the interface, even though it took some getting used to initially. It is also right up with Chrome for speed.
In a rather amusing press statement Christen Krogh, Chief Development Officer and Opera Software said “Opera 10.60 beta is SO fast, it will BLOW YOU AWAY!”. We think someone slipped something into his coffee that morning.
The interface looks like it has borrowed some ideas from the Chrome handbook and it also brings support for Google's WebM open source video format which many people will appreciate.
Check it out for yourself over here. Windows, OSX and Linux are all supported.

I have been trying this lately, its very good, bit confusing finding some things though. bit like the first time I used office 2007
Avid Opera user since version 3 when it wasn’t freeware. But in all honestly last version which I enjoyed was version 6. Since 7 through 8,9, and now 10 then moving too much to Internet Exploder or FireFlop fields. Too much steam is routed to the whistle and too little where it really matters. Most of users require reliable platform, not better looking buttons, flash animations and other rubbish. I did not changed my preferences since version 6, and never used ANY of these new super-duper-supremely-useless additions. Still, Opera is the best browser on the Earth, simple as that.
Hi Hakuren:
Any idea where I can get Version 6? I’ve been struggling through 10. What a bear!
Thanks,
Pat
