Download Opera 10.0 build 1631

The developers behind the web browser Opera released another development snapshot of version 10 on Thursday. Opera is free to use and includes features like tabbed browsing, a popup blocker, and an email program with spam filter. Some of the highlights of this release include a redesign of the opera:about page, some improvements to the appearance, including the icons, and several fixes related to stability and Opera Unite. Furthermore, the admin password no longer needs to be entered on the Mac when you want to report a crash and the plugin detection has been improved in the 64bit Linux version.
