Opera has been on the market for a while and we’re still thinking about Firefox and Internet Explorer every time we’re talking about browsers. Google has joined the group recently with its very own Chrome, while Apple attempted to lure users into its own club with a Windows version of Safari.
Opera on the other hand is a multi-platform browser that works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, but also on mobile phones, on both Android and iOS. Still, it’s not the most popular browser on the planet and people are still wondering why, although previous versions have pretty much spoke for themselves.
The latest version of the application comes with some impressive features though. But let’s take all things one at a time.
Installing Opera is a kid’s job. You have nothing else to do than to press the Next button and choose whether to import settings from other browsers or not. There’s one thing to be mentioned though. Be sure to hit the Options menu when launching the installer as the standard settings will make Opera your default browser. If you wish to use it as your backup solution, don’t forget to uncheck this option.
Opera has a very modern and attractive interface, although users can get a lot more thanks to the built-in theming support that allows them to download themes with a single click. Plus, you can also change the color scheme, just to be sure everything matches your preferences.
And since we’re talking about colors, extensions seem to be the new pink, so yes, Opera comes with extension support too, the thing we’ve first seen on Firefox. This way, you can greatly improve functionality, adding new features that the standard application lacks.
One interesting feature that might set Opera apart from competition is called Opera Turbo and is specifically designed to help load webpages faster. Especially designed for those with slow Internet connection, this particular function compresses webpages and reduces loading times, so the browser has to download smaller files. In other words, smaller files, greater speed, less computer resources used in the process.
Just to be sure the user has everything he needs, developers have also included widgets, a speed dial function and mail support for getting your email messages without interrupting the browsing experience. The “common” browser features are still there, such as tabbed interface, bookmark manager, multiple search engine support and history.
We must admit that we’ve been impressed after using Opera for a few days, as it remains a very resource friendly application while delivering an impressive browsing speed. Still freeware, Opera is wearing some new and much trendier clothes, so why not giving it a try? You might end up with the best unpopular browser on the web…
