Opera 8.51 more love.

This little baby is showing me new tricks every day.

A click of a button and you can view the page without the CSS code. Click again and go back. You can set it up to view the page with or without many different user styles.

View the whole page in a percentage. You can look at it at 50% or 150%, and it looks good larger too.

Mouse gestures. Hold down the right mouse button and sweep right. It goes forward to the next page. Sweep left and it goes back. Nice.

It will manage your RSS feeds for you, and tell you when one is updated.

You can write notes which it will hold onto for when you need it later. Highlight text and save it as a note.

You can set up the tabs to hold your windows in a cascading style or vertical or horizontal tiles.

You can skin it to your liking.

Highlight some text and click "Speak." It will read the highlighted area for you.

Highlight one word and click search or dictionary or encyclopedia, and you will quickly have more information on the word than you wanted.

You can save all the open tabs as different sessions.

And of course it has integrated email software.

My favourite? Highlight the text of a language you don't know, hit translate to english, and there you go, english.

Well, at least enough to figure out what the site is talking about.

 

Yes I know, firefox does many of these things, but I like the way Opera does what it does.

And I always liked the underdog. Hey, I used to be the guy who loved Geoworks.

 

Check it out. You know you want to.
