The internet weather has been turning somewhat cloudy in recent years and by saying that I now don’t mean to start another discussion about (important) Net neutrality here but rather to bring up the smooth transition to a trend of moving data to indefinite “shadowy” remote storage sometimes referred to as “The Cloud”, the shape [...]
Re-discovering filters in Opera’s M2
I’ve finally decided recently to dedicate some time to re-thinking the way I’ve used Opera’s M2 e-mail client for some years now. And I’m glad I made that decision because it completely changed the way I interacted with my e-mails, for the better, to be noted. If you are an Operator (Opera user) and never [...]

Make full use of Opera’s presentation modes
Making any website temporarily appear the way you want instead of the way its designer meant it to is rather easy if you use Opera and (not quite necessarily) have at least very basic knowledge of the simplest CSS statements.

Improve your fullscreen browsing experience in Opera
Opera uses the entire screen to show contents of a page and doesn’t waste a single pixel on the screen for displaying anything else. This is definitely great for stretching the space available for viewing a particular website but might get less practical when you decide to spend the rest of your surfing life in [...]
