    Opera Browser - why it is so special ?

    Posted 16 years 3 months ago
    • Hello Guys :)
      As far as I know. Many people here don't like Opera Browser. But I'm also sure that there are members who love Opera (like me). So if that kind of member exists please reply why this browser is special and different than any other browser on the market.
      Personally I love opera because of:
      - live preview, great for fixing bugs. I know some of you guys say that Firebug can do the same, but with opera it's quicker and easier.
      - opera is fast - i can open my favourite websites with a matter of few clicks.
      - bundled applications - personally i like rss reader, mail and chat client. Wherever I am, i just open that browser and i have everything ready and set.

      Anyone ? :)

      Besides what Karol wrote, i like Opera because it has:

      * Search directly from the address bar by using a prefix for each search engine. For example g for Google and Y for Yahoo. So you just type in: g how to add a favicon.
      * Built-in ad-blocker.
      * You can save sessions (incl cache).
      * When viewing page source it opens instantly because it uses the cache. Firefox for example needs to reload the whole page which is a PAIN if the site is on a slow host :P
      * It does a darn good job if i want to save a whole page.
      * You can reload a single image or frame instead of the whole page.
      * You can easily delete an individual cookie and it's very easy to find these cookies.
      * ONE page for all Opera settings.
      * BitTorrent support.

      I could go on all day about features, lol :)

    • To get rid of most ads, put this file in:

      C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Opera\Opera\profile

      This is for WinXP, i'm not sure about the file path for other OS'es but the file itself should work anyway :)
