Opera, the company synonymous with fast and safe browsing, has released Opera version 10.5, which once again reclaims their positions as the fastest web browser around at the moment.

Opera Software is a Norwegian company, which has always strived to design browsers which raise the bar, as far as innovative features, safety and speed is concerned. This version comes bundled with a host of new features, besides the lightning web browsing capabilities. Describing its speed, CEO of Opera Lars Boilesen said “Opera 10.50 is the fastest browser in almost all speed tests.”

The latest version is offering Tabbed Private Browsing option which is another first for browsers. Google Chrome and Apple Safari offer Private Browsing, but they don’t offer it in a tab, rather a new Private Browsing window is opened. The speed of Opera 10.5 comes from the JavaScript engine named Carakan, coupled with a graphics library called Vega, which makes Opera 10.5 apparently the fastest browser available for download.
