opera browser download

Friday, 11th May, 2007 at 10:27 am

Although Firefox is my default browser and I am quite happy with it, yesterday I installed (for free) Opera Browser on my computer.

opera browser

I have found it very clean and user friendly, ok!, is very similar to Mozilla/IE7, with tabs ( I admit, tabs have change my life :) ), default integrated search (google, just for a change), transfer and password manager, etc.

But there are few things I liked so much after to have a quick look at Opera Browser:

Opera’s mouse gestures: lets you do frequently performed browse operations with small, quick mouse movements.
Pointing your mouse to a link, clicking and holding right mouse button, and then moving the mouse in the idicated directions, you can open a link in a new window in the foreground, open link in a new window in the background, go to home page and many more. Very useful!

ToolTip on tabs: when the mouse is over a tab, Opera Browser shows a tool tip with a thumbnail of the page loaded in it (mozilla and IE7 show an alternative text, title/url).

It has a lot of features (Fraud Protection, BitTorrent,…), I couldn’t check at all, but it seem pretty cool (and much better than IE, easy anyway!).

    Hem, can you post the offending code? I would love to take a look at it.

    If it’s a problem with our browser, I will speak to our developers about it.
