Opera 10.5 beta also has some small, but very useful new features like the new URL bar search field.

#Opera versus chrome osx 2017 windows 7

And it's here that Opera really shines with nice Windows 7 features as well as plenty of extras, including everything from a BitTorrent client to Opera's Unite web server tools (not part of the beta release, but no doubt set to arrive before Opera 10.5 is finished). However, at this point all four browsers are so close in terms of speed that the real differentiating factor is the feature set. Opera 10.5 consistently beat Safari's page rendering times, but against Firefox and Chrome the results were a bit more of a mixed bag - sometimes Opera came out on top, other times not. When it comes to page rendering times the new Carakan rendering engine and the new Vega graphics engine in Opera 10.5 clearly speed things up, but as for the fastest browser on Earth, well, it's hard to say.Ĭertainly Opera 10.5 is significantly faster than the current, official version of Opera, and can hold its own with any other browser out there. In our informal testing Opera recorded the fastest start up times of any browser in Windows 7, besting even Chrome by just a hair.
