The little Norwegian browser, praised for it's crossplatformness, standards support, high security standards and speed has been updated to a new version. Opera 10.10 includes the long awaited Opera Unite feature, bringing new features to you, the web surfer.

First think that must be said is that Opera Software made the right call to not include Opera Unite in the 10.0 release. This didn't only made it possible to release Opera 10 ahead of Unite, but it also gave a more relaxed time frame to stabilize a new feature like Unite. The folks at Opera Software have been a big example these last release of taking the time to (sufficiently) stabilize a release before it's deemed production ready.

So what is this Opera Unite you wonder? Well, as Opera Software puts it, it gives you the power to connect with others directly and to collaborate and share information from your computer without storing any data on external servers. When you choose to share something on your computer using Opera Unite, it is available for anyone you trust. To communicate with you or access your shared data, others can use any modern Web browser they like. Some example applications that use Opera Unite are: File Sharing, Fridge (leave notes), Media Player, Messenger, Photo Sharing and a Web Server.

Besides this major new feature Opera 10.10 polishes the release even further with minor changes to the UI, increased stability and security fixes. Therefore any Opera user should upgrade to this release, which is optionally available in the Help menu (for Opera 10 users) or by downloading the installer.
