Log on to the web.That's what 95% people using computers want to do.So what do they do.Some do research, some do they daily communication some for information and reset for excursion.
Internet has become need for everyone.Everyone uses the web for one reason or the other.
Internet in it's early day was used to send text.But many got to gather and the scene went to a change.The web became but useful,interactive and graphical.
Shell account was used to just look at text but provided no graphics.TCP/IP account then came in to provide graphical user interface.So Internet is a connected network when data is stored on various server in coded form.So there need to be something which should decode this and show it to the user.
When this is where Browser's come and play great helpful role.
Mosaic was the first browser to be developed and as day's passed by many browser's gained popularity.Internet explorer made it's move during this stage which was developed by Microsoft and came along with Windows pre-loaded, so many did not take trouble to install the other browsers.
But something still was missing.People expected a more good look and many other features.Netscape was developed which gave a good competition to IE.But failed to beat IE.
Netscape still was popular due to it's improved look and good performance but failed to beat Ie in it's speed.
So Opera browser moved in.With it's claim to be the fastest browser on earth.But was it faster and is it faster come let's CHECK IN and see what's in store in Opera.
Welcome to Opera- The fastest Browser on Earth
Opera is a browser which can be downloaded for free from https://opera.com.It come it is a adware browser but ads can be removed by paying a small amount.
Opera is indeed the fastest browser as it fair a very good score in it's load up time.The browser is quite well designed and provides a much more better options than IE.
So what's in store
Opera is good browser or let me call it the best browser there could be.It loads up very fast, has a good design and great add-ons.
Opera after it's first run ask's you if you want to load you new window within the main frame or load the new window on the task bar.Choosing the option with in window is a good options.
So now you task bar is less clustered up comes much low resources.
You can add skins to your browser by logging on to .my.opera.com and downloading a skin which you like.The installing instruction come along.
Opera is one of the best browser as it has much low or less error's popping up than any other browser.IE takes the award when it comes to error.
And you need not worry about loosing the site address after you get a error, as Opera has a built in debugger which gives the option browsing the same spot you left behind before error.
After you run opera the next time a box will provide you with this option.
These all make Opera the best according to me.
So what more has it to provide
Opera comes with a built-in email client which has interface similar to Outlook and help you do the work of checking and sending mail.But there are not as much options as other clients offer.
But it is good for those who use client for just checking mail.
Opera also support the keyboard to a lot and considered to provide the most options in keyword.You can control almost every option by keyboard and mouse, which IE fails to provide.
Opera also provides support to various languages like javascript,XML and various other options.
Transfer option,bookmarks,tool bar etc...
Do you know Opera comes with a built in Download Manager which can help you with downloading you file and also has a resume option with it to help you continue your downloading.
You have a good experience with Opera I advice you to skin opera as opera has various skin options.
Opera also comes with bookmark facility and has a collection of lots of pre-bookmarks.You can also add your own bookmarks to Opera.
Opera also imports you IE bookmarks so that you don't have to switch.Opera has good tool bars and the best tool bar is the Personal bar where in you can put your most used sites.
So what's bad about this
Beware designers, Opera does not support full support to you HTML codes as HTML does.You might keep an idea that the site will look like this and write the code.
You design look's perfect on IE, but you will have to tweak codes for Opera.So this is one drawback.
Final advice and conclusion
For those normally surf the web, I think opera is the best browser for you.With a fast performance and great utility this browser surely leaves IE behind by a huge mark.It also has great zooming facility and good interface.
So do check it out.
Opera is really a good browser and need marketing, and don't you think good works need appreciation.I hope through this review I spread words and do tell your friend about Opera.
