Not Open Source, but it's fast, pretty, and free. Opera stands behind Chrome and in front of Safari in terms of number of users, performance and speed.
The news in this version is interesting (taken from the official site):
Renewed steering bar: The address bar has been revamped with new search suggestions and also allows you to find your favorite websites faster in the results list. To bookmark or speed dial pages instantly, just press the star in the address field.
New rendering engine: Opera 11.60 offers significant enhancements to the rendering engine, providing a faster and more stable Internet experience. Enjoy improved website compatibility, faster page loading, and a higher level of overall stability when browsing.
New design in the mail client: The browser's built-in email client Opera allows you to manage your messages automatically. In Opera 11.60We've made several improvements, such as a cleaner layout, message grouping, a more intuitive view of your inbox, and easier navigation.
In addition to these changes, others are added: full support for ECMAScript 5.1 y XMLHttpRequest level 2, full support for radial-gradient y repeated-radial-gradient de CSS3, for CSS3 proper and SVG. As a novelty, it also incorporates support for some features of CSS4.
You can see all the changes in the ChangeLog.
Particularly what I don't like about Opera it is its high consumption just by opening it. But it is really fast and handles the cache like no other browser.
I think so Opera It is not among the first most used browsers is precisely because it is closed. I am sure that if its source code could be accessed, it could be improved and its development would be much faster. But I don't know what are the reasons why the Norwegian company doesn't do this. Will they have something hidden? We do not know.
You can download it from this link.
Several things with the phrase:
1- Do you want a fight? If you are saying that the purists will come to mess it up brown
2- Free and free?

second round!
Man my character is more of a woman than a man, the bad luck that one has ...
You could tell me how it works, I have not used it for years.
I just installed it and it does not work badly, the bad thing is that some pages do not render well and its memory consumption is 214.4 Mb with only 4 tabs open.
"I think that if Opera is not among the first most used browsers it is precisely because it is closed."
I also think the same. It is contradictory, "Benefits" that has opera firefox is missing and what is left over "Little fire fox" lacks opera. I think that if there were the possibility that both projects "Coexisted together" it would be quite helpful for everyone.
First of all I want to congratulate you on your page, I discovered it a few days ago and it seems to me of excellent quality. Regarding the news, the but that appears to me with opera is that I installed Fedora 16 a few days ago with version 11.51, and the ram consumption when you have more than 6 tabs open shoots up to more than 600 mb, and the pc that I have at home has only 1gb… .. That didn't happen to me with version 11.50, I don't know what might have changed. I'll try the 11.60 when I get home.
Greetings from Chile!
Thanks and welcome Miguel,
Until recently I used Opera Next (v12) and it certainly did not have this consumption, that is, to reach the 600MB consumed by Opera, I needed to have several tabs open (about 10).
The weak point, as I think, is that you are browsing and everything is fine, but when a while passes from so much opening and closing of tabs, apparently something remains "loaded" in RAM, and hence you see (at least in my case it was like this) only 3 or 4 tabs open with Opera consuming more than 500MB of RAM.
Greetings and welcome 😀
Yes, I agree with that. The strange thing is that with the previous versions that did not happen ... but hey. I use Opera because with the nouveau driver on my pc the scrolling of the pages in webkit-based browsers is VERY slow, and in firefox it is a little faster. My card is not supported by nvidia drivers. Scrolling only works relatively well for me with opera.
regards
I also tell you that the truth is that excessive consumption is very curious, I at least use it in Chakra, and with more than ten tabs open, it barely exceeds 180 megabytes, and I also have only 1 Gb of memory.
Well, at home I uninstalled 11.51, deleted settings folders and then installed the new version. It works faster, the excessive memory consumption has disappeared, but unfortunately the browser closes after about 5 to 10 minutes. I don't know if the same thing will happen to someone on other distros, but at least on Fedora 16, it works fine. It's time to find the cause…. and give Firefox while ...
regards
In my point of view.
I really like Opera, it has a very Pro style.
Only if it consumes memory more than it should and does not load many pages.
Opera and Chrome my Fav
They still have not fixed the p..bug you have with catalyst, both flash and html5 are seen with tearing (tearing) in opera with kde.
