Opera 10 has all of the marking of a top rated Internet browser. Just from the sheer amount of features this browser has equipped, Opera 10 is giving all other browsers a run for their money. Opera allows you to keep your task bar in order through the use of tabs. Instead of having to open up many different windows to see more than one web page, you can now open many different web pages within a single window. Opera also comes equipped with its signature “Speed Dial”, which allows users to get to their favorite websites super fast. Whenever a user opens a new tab within Opera, they are directed to a homepage in which all of their most commonly visited web pages are listed.
Another great feature, that Opera has included in its browser, is it’s page zoom feature. Unlike other browsers, Opera’s zoom feature actually re-sizes the entire web page, not just the page’s text. This will enable Opera users to not only view a web page’s text in a much larger font, but to view a web page’s graphic in much more detail.
The next intriguing feature that Opera has equipped is the “Opera link feature”. This feature allows you to synchronize not only Opera’s speed dial with your bookmarks, but to synchronize all of your settings across all of your computers. This really is a lifesaver, when you have more than one computer.
Operas interface is very tidy and clean looking, but is a bit crowded for my taste. The designers of Opera tried to provide its users with as many options as possible, the downside of such being that many of Opera’s menus and toolbars are stuffed with options. While this may not seem like much of a flaw, when you take into consideration that most of these options never have to be tweaked, it lowers the browser’s overall usability.
