Opera... you should try it!

I just had to post this and let everyone know how great this browser is.

It's an all-in-one solution: tabbed browser, email client, bit-torrent manager, feed reader, and so many other things in one package. It's even got its own fraud and malware protection built in.

Here are some of the features particularly like:

Speed Dial: You can set up to 9 of your most frequently visited sites for easier, quicker access whenever you open a new tab in Opera. These "visual bookmarks" are much more convenient than having to type in the url everytime you wish to visit your favorite sites. Plus, they give you a preview of the most recent state of the site.

Mouse Gestures: This is my most-beloved feature in Opera. You won't find this in any other browser.Common actions like moving forward, backward, or openning a new tab is accomplished by simply moving your mouse. Wonderful!

Tabs and Sessions: I have been a fan of tab browsing ever since it came to being. It's convenient - you get different sites without having to open new windows chich clog your task bar. Opera gives you not only tabbed browsing but tab management. You can drag-and-drop tabs to rearrange them or place your mouse over a tab to preview the site. The best thing about this is that Opera lets you save a session of tabs that you can load later. Isn't that just amazing?

These are just some of the great features of this browser. One blog entry won't cover all the good stuff.

Really! The best way to discover Opera is to try it.

  3. Opera RULES!!! Google Chrome sucks! (oops sorry)... One good thing I like about Google Chrome is anonymous browsing, but that's it.

  4. I'm using a portable version of opera in the office (portable apps are safer in the workplace). Just google it.

    Sorry naman, sa photoshop... nakakalimutan ko dalhin eh, hehe.

    Anyway, I've been playing around with google chrome for several days now. It has certain features that make it unique and a little appealing but the overall useability is still debatable... i'll be posting a review (sort of) of Google Chrome one of these days...
