Opera

Out of all the internet browsers I have ever come across, Opera has to be one of the most famous… and yet complex applications of its kind. I remember that my father loves to use Opera to surf the internet but because he has quite an old computer, pages would load really slow and it would slow down the computer overall whenever he started the application. Why should anyone choose Opera over the other popular browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox? Well, first of all, it’s free and you can download it and try it by accessing this link. Brothersoft has offered yet another good piece of software for free so you have to love them!

I love this feature, especially since the latest version of Internet Explorer opens new tabs but in my taskbar, they appear as separate windows. Or is this feature just playing tricks on me because I use Windows 7? Aside from the features I just mentioned, Opera also provides integrated searches and even an Opera e-mail program.

You can customize your Opera browser to look and act just the way you want. Besides, you can personalize you home page to show you links and thumbnails to the websites you access the most. This featured is called speed dial because it is similar to the function of a cell phone: by pressing one simple button you can access the website of your choice. With search shortcuts you will be able to find the pages you need a lot faster.
