In case you're wondering, the "turbo" feature is a caching proxy run by Opera. Turn it on and everything besides SSL goes through them.<p>Of course, they don't tell you this <i>anywhere</i>. This is what you get when you enable the feature: <a href="http://www.opera.com/portal/turbo/" rel="nofollow">http://www.opera.com/portal/turbo/</a><p>I haven't been able to find anything more forthcoming on their site, not even in fine print. In fact, their marketing material quite blatantly skirts the issue.<p>The privacy policy linked from their main site (<a href="http://www.opera.com/privacy/" rel="nofollow">http://www.opera.com/privacy/</a>) has a section called "Privacy in the Opera Web browser" which goes into specific features, including some that are new to Opera 10, but nothing at all about "turbo". It does say this though:<p>"The Opera user’s Web usage is not tracked".<p>Except when it is.<p>I don't know what standards you hold Opera to, but any half respectable company would be rubbing your face in disclaimers before enabling a feature like this and I've seen a few crucified for not doing so.
Ahhh, upgraded to this from the 10 beta and my biggest gripe is finally gone!<p>It USED to be that if you clicked a right-click menu outside of the control it was opened in, it wouldn't execute the action of that click.<p>(For example, if I right click in this textbox and "copy" is outside this textbox, it wouldn't copy.)<p>Now? Fixed! Proof?<p>Now? Fixed!
Just tried it (Mac version), and somehow the browsing is smoother in Safari (scrolling, transition between pages). Not sure about absolute speed, but subjectively, it's not as good.
Bah, it's got that thing where I click a link and it picks a link further up the page.<p>Also, it uses 40% more memory than before and I can't be bothered putting back v9.64. Darn!
I hope they fixed their automatic update. I can't switch it off but each time it does update my interface customization is gone. It happens every few weeks.
