Opera Web Browser..

[-=Squid=-]

I just dloaded it, and man, im impressed. WAY faster than internet explorer, but im having trouble finding new features. Can anybody tell me some real neat and handy things to do with it? And is there any trick to get rid of that banner without paying....yes I know, im cheap.

banner..Nope.. Unfortuantly none of those Kazaa downloads will work for it. (I don't think there is any)


Features.. TABS! Gotta love the tabs.

There is a bunch of mouse movements.. read the help file.

Right click menu rocks. Double click text too. Pop up menu with copy text as first option.


Just play around with stuff.. it's awsome.

I use Avant Browser myself, it's just a shell for IE. Yay tabbed windows and pop blocker!!

Im loving the tabs. Damn banner...I deleted the banned img, and now its just blank there....better than flashing crap.

Mouse Jesters rock

I still have issues with memory holes every now and then. Also it will not render CSS correctly so some web pages will no display correctly.

Prime Example is www.heroclix.com When you goto marvel or dc there should be a bunch of stuff on the left as nav for teh site. It never renders in opera. One of the reasons I have not paid for it yet.

Mhmm...Well, I guess im stupid but I went through the mouse jesters in help, and didnt see one that I really thought would make browsing that much easier. Next question. Anybody know a GOOD free popup blocker??

mouse *gestures*, not jesters : ). they're more useful than you'd think. right click, drag down for a new tab. right click, down, then left to close a tab. right click, slide left to go back.

oh, hit F12 while in opera, and check "refuse pop-up windows".

Just did that, but I assume it will stop any links that are supposed to open in new browsers as well? And the only time popups are bad is when my computer is idle, and it wont stop those...so any actual free programs would be nice.

nope, if you click a link, it'll open it just fine. as for the idling popups, uninstall kazaa : )

Same here. Personalized it a bit, and haven't looked back.

Besides the tabbed windows, I can just start up the program and all the pages that I was looking at will pop right back up. Love that feature.
