In the first week after its release and after many favorable reviews – including our own – Opera Software has announced that its revamped desktop browser has been downloaded 10 million times and is now in use by millions of users around the world. For Opera, this is a record achievement.

If my own experience is anything to go by, these users are happy users. As I wrote before, Opera 10 is blazing fast – comparable to the speed I was experiencing with Google Chrome – and that’s a huge plus. It doesn’t hurt that everything ‘just works’ either, and I’m already so used to the (all new) Opera interface that it’d be hard for me to switch again.

If you haven’t tried out Opera 10 yet, do it now. You won’t be disappointed.
