Opera 10

It has been a while since I have been using Opera 10 on Ubuntu. It seems that a usable browser has finally arrived. Firefox is good, but it is awfully slow on Ubuntu (all versions I have tried), especially on those flash sites or Javascript heavy sites. Opera 9 is okay, but it hangs a lot on Javascript/ flash heavy sites. It is a rejoice to see something finally works well.

Opera setup

To get Opera, add the this

deb http://deb.opera.com/opera stable non-free

to the Software Source (under System->Administration). After add the key from http://deb.opera.com/. Now Opera should be on your repository and ready for you to install.
