Build A Better Browser With The Bells And Whistles You Want

Posted: 6/8/2011

You can choose your browser, so why not opt for one that is faster and has more features?

(NAPSI) - When going online, most people don’t give a second thought to their browser—the software that lets you read websites—but maybe they should. Your browser can make a big difference in how you use the Web.

All browsers are not the same. And there’s no reason to settle for the browser you already have if it’s not the best available. It can be easy—and free—to download a faster, more efficient browser.

The latest browsers have plenty of innovations to offer. For example, the latest version of Opera, a leader in browser innovations, now has new features that can streamline your daily use of the Internet.

The latest version, Opera 11, offers features such as tab stacking, visual mouse gestures and Opera extensions.

Almost everyone uses tabs to manage open pages in the browser—but with the new tab-stacking feature, you can organize your open tabs by stacking them just like sheets of paper.

Mouse gestures let you control your browser using only movements of the mouse. In Opera 11, a new visual guide helps you learn and master all the different ways of using your mouse.

Extensions are fun, and with the latest version of this browser, they are easy to download and install. There are almost 500 extensions to try.

Some of the most popular extensions let you download videos directly from YouTube, block ads and translate foreign Web pages automatically.

Protecting your computer from viruses is an important consideration when using an extension. To ensure your security, Opera thoroughly checks every extension before it is released.

To download the free browser, visit www.opera.com.
