Hey guys, I've just read about it on the news. http://www.opera.com/browser/next/It seems pretty cool. has anyone tried it yet? EDIT: ok, here are my first impressions: I've noticed a great JavaScript speed improvement. GMail and other heavily-ajaxified websites now work as a charm. yahoo.com doesn't recognize it yet. Font rendering has improved as well. They added inline spelling check (finally!) It passes the acid3 testOverall, it's a pretty clean and stable build.  |

Ooh... nice standards compliance. Looks interesting; I guess I'll be giving it a try sometime.

This seems to be great, so if I ever will find a way to strip all obsolete features of Opera, I'll use it! (Too much unneeded features for me is the main reason why I don't use it.  ) |

No I only use the latest stable of Opera, I might try it later on as it dose not yet have all the features that the final product will have

What're your thoughts on it? I plan to try it when it hits beta.

Fast, I like the spell check. Other than that there really isn't much changed

Opera's JS speeds are still distinctively slower than the competition.
V8 Benchmark (not the most accurate, higher = better)
Chrome: 1987
Webkit: 2492
Opera: 142
TraceMonkey: 104 (SLOW!)
Sunspider (lower = better)
Webkit: 1438.4ms
TraceMonkey: 2109.6ms
Opera: 4624.4ms
Chrome: 1847.4ms

considering 1k microseconds = 1 second and we have a difference of up to 3 seconds response time, I think that would actually be noticeable

A millisecond is a thousandth of a second so 1000 milliseconds equals a second so 3k ms is a 3 second difference.
Yes microtime and microseconds are different things, I got those mixed up, your right the microtime that browsers use are milliseconds for timing purposes.
