    "If you have an old computer, this browser is for you!"

    August 10, 2010  |   By Mach3motocross

    Pros

    Fast, good alternative to IE8. Opera Link, Opera Unite, and Opera Turbo are good features. Very customizable, and you can have different skins for it.

    Cons

    Widgets are just plain stupid, none of them are good.

    Summary

    I have a nine year old IBM Thinkpad T20, and for it to browse at a little less then decent speed, it needs to have lightweight programs on it. I mean, I use CCleaner every day, and defrag once a week. I have to keep the programs on it the bare essentials and thats it. Opera is nice and lightweight, so it is the fastest browser on my old old computer. The only other browser on my computer is the Google Chrome Canary Build, and Google Chrome which is on the Stable Channel. Opera is waaaay faster than Chrome on my computer.

    So overall, if you have an old computer, Opera 10.60 is for you.
