Why Opera > your internet browser - Review of sorts

Opera is pretty much the one thing that keeps me from picking up my computer and chucking it accros the room on a regular basis. Heres a screenshot of me running it and a list of 5 awesome features it has.



1 - Tabbed browising - Actaully works, brilliantly, unlike ie, which dies once you have more than about 3 tabs open. Also it had it before ie and hence they copied it...

2 - Mouse gestures - (not seen) Just hold right click, move the mouse to the left, and let go, and voila, you go back a page!! So much easier and quicker than pressing back, or backspace. Also you can clone pages to a new tab just as easily.
This feature warrants the download in itself; saves so much time, becomes invauable.

3 - You can customise EVERYTHING - I made mine red with this nice theme. You can have it looking like ie / firefox if you prefer, or download whatever theme you liek on the site.

4 - Speedial - main page shown - opens when you click a new tab. Practically like having 9 homepages

5 - Add shortcuts to sites on the toolbar; incase opening a new tab wasn't quick enough

Of course there are many more great things; saving sessions, widgets, much more, and it just seems generally faster, and in every way better than internet explorer. Do yourself a favour, ownload it, NOW
