opera 10 beta - disappointment

I just tried the new 10 beta version of opera and I have to say it feels shitty (or at least not better than older releases).
One of the new features that was announced by the opera people is a configurable speeddial. There are 3 new things I noticed. The first thing is a configuration dialog which allows you to change the number of speed dials:


While some people might find this nice it somehow sucks as the values are predefined and there is a much more flexible way of configuring that (~/.opera/speeddial.ini):

With 10 beta you can also hide the speeddial. This is really neat as this wasn't possible before from what I know and some people seem to don't like it.
The dialog also allows you to set a background image to your speeddial. WTF, this is a browser, not my desktop

Another new feature I noticed is the possibility to expand the tab listing and pull it down so they show up with included screenshots.

There is no shortcut to open/close this but you have to do this with the mouse + I think this is really annoying while browsing, it's just too big and doesn't add much information while it's open if you don't intend to change the tab.

The most positive impression is that this version finally scores 100% in the acid 3 test!

One new feature left that really bugs me: Opera Turbo (F12). With this enabled opera behaves like opera-mini meaning you are sending every HTTP request to an opera server, get it back compressed and you render the compressed version. This should be useful for people with low bandwidths. I have no idea if this is more effective than just switching of images or other parts of the content but this is really a security/privacy no-go. For mobile devices it might makes sense as the bandwidth is almost always limited (though there is a lot of change in progress) but for desktop end user browser!? At least there should be a big fat privacy notice pinned to this option and naming it Opera Proxy instead of Turbo would also be very nice!

UPDATE: another thing came to my mind, what about censorship in countries? Does the opera compression server enforce laws from countries? If not Turbo is at least a nice and end-user friendly way to avoid censorship in the www.
