The Opera desktop team has released the second release candidate of Opera 10. The latest version of the Opera web browser is still on track for a Tuesday release. This second release candidate is not available as an automatic update and can only be downloaded directly from the Opera website.
Opera 10 Release Candidate 2 includes a variety of fixes. The most noteworthy are stability, icon and native skin fixes as well as import of widgets when upgrading from Opera 9.64. The full changelog is available on the blog post of the Opera desktop team that is announcing the new release candidate.
The stability fixes are largely fixes that prevent browser crashes in various usage situations. Opera 10 Release Candidate 2 is available for all supported operating systems (Linux, Mac, Windows). Download links and changelogs are available at the Opera website.

I’m giving this a try. It’s snappy but you still cannot drag & drop bookmarks or copy images, & I”ve forgotten how to get the heavy-handed ad blocking feature to work at all. I’m sticking w/ Firefox as my default browser.

I mean all you need to do to block content is right click on free space on your window and choose block content from the drop down menu, and click on the frame that you want to block!
It’s waaaaay faster than Firefox, just got to know how to optimize it!
Check out the prefs(tools>preferences,appearence) and modify them to your style
