Opera is a free Web browser with a pop-up blocker, multiple-window navigation, mouse gestures, keyboard shortcuts, an e-mail client with a spam filter, and integrated search for user security and speed.

Opera is just the best browser there is, I loved it from the first edition, in fact I even registered it some years ago when it was shareware!
And their latest version is no less than superb!

I even used Opera back when they had this big advertising banner at the top of the screen 🙂 Those were the days …
Ellow Z,
I downloaded opera on my new laptop (chose the acer 6930 ;)).
Just love everything about it, magic wand is ubernice.
Got only one prob though.
Whenever I try to open a pdf file out of opera, it doesn’t work.
Doesn’t even try.
Any experience with that or solution?
See you at work 😉
