Opera 64-bit, and Out-of-process Plugins Now Available For Testing
Opera Software, as a Christmas present to their user base, has released an experimental Opera Labs build of Opera for all supported operating systems that adds two significant features to the web browser.

Modify Facebook To Your Liking With Social Fixer
Most Facebook users probably have one or two page elements or features that annoy the hell out of them. This can be a small recent change like the top posts feature that promotes some posts and modifies the timeline by doing so, or something bigger like the new photo viewer interface or the highly annoying [...]
NotScripts Brings Firefox NoScript Protection To Opera
When it comes to add-ons, the noScript add-on for the Firefox web browser is my favorite one. It basically blocks script from running on domains until I allow them to run. NoScript offers more functionality than that like XSS protection among a plethora of others. I have covered the Google Chrome extension NotScript in the [...]
Reddit Enhancement Suite, Get More Out Of Reddit
With the fall of the once popular Digg social voting site came the rise of better alternatives like Reddit. If you look at Digg today you will notice that the site took a big dive in recent years. From thousands of so called diggs (that is votes) for popular stories to one or two hundred [...]
Show Anchors, In-Page Linking
Sometimes when you are reading a page full of contents you may come upon a passage or element that you want to bookmark for later use or sharing with other users. While you could send the page url to someone or bookmark it, you would need to explain or remember where that element or content [...]
Opera’s Latest 11.60 Builds Shows Mail Improvements
The Opera web browser is the only popular web browser – and with that I mean market share wise – that ships with its own built-in email client.

Opera Reader Could Revolutionize The Way We Read On The Internet
One of the biggest usability issues on today’s Internet are scrolling web pages. Browsers automatically add scrollbars to web pages if the contents exceed the vertical or horizontal display limitations of the window or computer screen. This scrolling breaks the readability of a web page significantly. Users who scroll need to locate the text position [...]

The Opera desktop team has released an Opera web browser update that resolves two security issue.

Want To Open A Website In Another Browser? Just Drag And Drop It
This is one of the things that makes you go uh if you read about it or find out about it on your own. I know many computer users who run multiple web browsers on the same PC. On my PC I have Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer installed. And while that may be [...]
Opera 12 Alpha
Just a day after posting the first look at Opera 12 on Ghacks the Opera team decided to release the alpha version of the browser publicly. The review the other day was based on the latest snapshot release, and while changes between that latest snapshot of Opera and the alpha are scarce it justifies a [...]
Opera 12 First Look
The last Opera release dates back to the end of August, which seems like ages in times when browser developers push out new versions of their browser in weeks instead of months or even years. News about the next Opera browser version and Opera Software in general have almost come to an halt in that [...]
Change Default Browser, Quickly Switch The Default System Browser
One web browser is always the default system browser on a computer system. That’s the program that is launched when you click on links for example. The majority of computer users on Windows come into contact with multiple browsers. They got Microsoft’s Internet Explorer installed by default on the system and download and install at [...]

Opera Software has just released the final version of Opera 11.51 after two release candidates that have been released in the past week. The new version of the web browser fixes several stability issues which makes it more of a maintenance release than a release that comes along with new major features. Still, Mac users [...]
Opera Software Readies Opera 11.51 Maintenance Release
When I look at the feeds in my RSS feed reader I cannot help but notice that the Opera browser is not receiving the same attention that the Firefox and Google Chrome browsers receive. This puzzled me for some time now and I figured that it is either caused by Opera’s marketing of the browser, [...]
Good news, IE users aren’t stupid after all
Last week we reported, somewhat sceptically I’m happy to say, about a piece of research by a company called AptiQuant Psychometric Consulting, that said that people who used Internet Explorer had lower IQs than people who used other browsers. The research “measuring the effects of cognitive ability on the choice of web browser” was apparently [...]
Linkman Lite, Multi-Browser Bookmarks Manager
One of the biggest issues for users who work with different web browsers is synchronization. This includes passwords, log in information and of course bookmarks. Most browsers come with synchronization options, but those only include synchronizing bookmarks between versions of the same browser. And the import option is only important a certain state which means [...]
