Thirteen-year-old Opera has been the perennial underdog in the browser wars, but the Opera 10 alpha brings some unexpected firepower to the battlefield.
Unlike Google Chrome, Firefox 3 or any other browser on the market, except for Safari 4 Developer Preview, Opera 10 will comply fully with the Acid3 test, according to the Norwegian company.
Set to be made available on Thursday for public testing, Opera 10 is powered by an update to its proprietary rendering engine. Presto 2.2 is supposed to be 30 percent faster than Presto 2.1, the engine driving Opera 9.5. Presto 2.2 will be the basis for future versions of Opera's mobile browsers, as well as the desktop editions, the company said.
