CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
The premise of Opera has always been the same: Develop the fastest, smallest, and most full-featured browser available. Opera maintains the tradition with its latest version. Offering unprecedented speed and low memory usage, Opera is still embarrassing the big browsers by loading most Web pages in a fraction of the time they use.
In addition to fine-tuning speed and performance, the browser includes support for bidirectional languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, a slide-show feature for Web-based photos, and an option that allows users of the free, ad-sponsored version to receive either text-based ads served by Google or generic graphical ads. Other features sweeten the deal, such as spatial navigation, a built-in e-mail client with spam parameters, and IRC chat support. As always, Opera continues to offer good-quality encryption and other security measures.
Although Opera's default interface wastes space with redundant tools that visually overpower the browser window, it is wholly customizable. Skins let you change the browser's look to suit your preferences. Anyone looking at alternate browsers should check out Opera, the leader of the pack.
Publisher's description
From Opera Software :Opera is a fast, user-friendly, and highly versatile Internet browser that includes a newsreader, integrated search, and e-mail client. The keyboard plays an integral role in surfing, making Web navigation easy and fast. You can run multiple windows even at start-up, and special features are included for users with disabilities. The standards support in Opera 7 has been improved with added support for DOM level 2 and CSS2; improved ECMAScript and HTML 4.01 support; and complete WML 1.3 and 2.0 support. It also handles nonstandard pages using DHTML.
The latest release comprises a major overhaul, resulting in a faster rendering engine and a smaller overall file size, plus an enhanced user interface to make Web navigation easier than ever. The new M2 e-mail client automatically categorizes and sorts e-mail messages, incorporates an integrated spam filter, and supports POP3, IMAP, and ESMTP formats. Other new features include The Wand password manager, improved drag-and-drop support, a floating hot list, user profiles, and a host of others such as an integrated pop-up stopper, skin support, and the new Fast Forward button, which gives you immediate access to the pages you will want to visit next.
Note: The full version of Opera is now available for free in an ad-sponsored version. Registered users will not see ads.
