With the new version 8.5 Opera becomes completely free. It is considered as the best browser in terms of features and performance. Only FireFox can match it with performace. It has lots of features builtin. A great download manager, email client, RSS feeder, Multi tab Browsing, Password manager, Zoom function, built in search option etc. Now it also supports voice browsing. Yes, you need to download a 10 MB update. The main installation package without java is only around 3.5 MB. So any dial up user can download it within half an hour. And it is very light on system resources also. So you can open 20 or thirty web pages simultaniously. A thing that is never possible with Internet Explorer using a low end system. The page rendering is very fast when compared to IE.
What should you do?
It is a must have browser if you 're using Internet Explorer. Even firefox users can try it out because it is simply the best browser in terms of features. If you 're already using an ad supported previous version of opera, then u are recommended to install it since it is having only a small download size. But don't expect a lot more features. Enable voice browsing by downloading the voice packages if you want to surprise your friends.
Well, no software is perfect and opera is not an exception. One area where it should improve is the web page save feature. It saves every supported files in the root folder. It is very incovenient considering that IE saves supported files in a sub directory. It would be nice if Opera can do this in their next versions.
Two thumbs up for Opera!

jeez, you get lot of spam comments, lol! Blogger should figure out a way to block them, they get annoying, no?
Hey, my name is Geoff, and this comment is towards your blog, not this post in perticular. I was browsing for blogs with desktop enhancement themes for my new blog (http://pimpmypc.wordpress.com, but its not up yet) and I came across your blog.
I love your blog. It's simple, streamlined, and generally a hoot to read. Usually when I read blogs I get the feeling the user's are blogging to me, the reader.
When I read your blog, it's like your writing to no one but the blog itself. Yet you keep a beautiful writing style that is easy to read. I think this is a unique effect as I have never come across it before.
Just wondering, how many readers do you get per day?
Anyways, keep up the good work! This is blogging at its best!
Geoff
