Yesterday my favorite browser -Opera released the beta version of its PC web browser codenamed Peregrine (their code-names are from the birds of prey) .
Here are a couple of reasons to use Opera as your main browser :
- Security : According to Secunia , Opera is one of the most secure browsers.Period. Let’s trust the experts.
- InBuilt Mail Client & RSS Reader : The mail client offers POP and SMTP access to your email accounts.The lastest version supports RTF formats too.What more you couold trash all those mail clients and RSS readers.
- Features : Opera has been a pioneer in the development of new and awesome features.The tabbed browsing,Speed Dial (now found in almost all browsers ) etc had come from Opera.Below are three of my favorite features:
- Link : Synchronize all your bookmarks,notes etc with different computers(and also mobiles) having Opera.
- Voice : Download an Audio library of around 10mb and thats it! A bot with a nearly human voice reads out aloud.Further if you have banished your keyboard, you can give Voice Commands to surf the web.
- Turbo : This feature is extremely useful if you are on a network clogged or you are left with lesser bandwidth/speeds. Opera routes it though its server and saves frees up your bandwidth (If you access engadget and techcrunch with this mode,you’ll be saving around 2 mb!!!)
Go ahead, Download Opera, and give it a spin!
Later Edit : Opera 10 released and set its record of 10 million downloads in a week. Woot!
