Opera
New In Opera 9.2
Sunday, April 15th, 2007
I installed the latest version of the Opera browser yesterday, I usually stick to Firefox but I like to check out how my blog looks in Opera when I make a few CSS changes or add a new plugin. With this latest version I must say that I like their new "Speed Dial" page that opens up when you click for a new tab. :smile:
The idea is obviously to keep your favourite pages at your fingertips, and I must say it seems to work pretty smoothly. The idea of using a webpage as you would the speed ial on your phone seems so obvious. . . once someone else has done it. The set-up is easy, you can just drag-and-drop your open tabs in to the numbered positions or just right click in the box and choose the url you want to add from your most frequently visited pages, you can even set it up so that the thumbnails reload every few seconds or whatever time you customize it to so you can keep an eye on several web pages at once if you feel the need to.
So far I haven't found a setting to be able to turn it off, some might still prefer to be able to just open to a blank page, but maybe they will build that option in to a later version.
Overall I was quite impressed with this update, though I think it will still remain my second option as a browser rather than my primary, I just love my Firefox too much! :wink:
Which is your favourite browser? Have you tried the latest Opera? If so what do you make of it?
