Opera Questions

Hey guys/gals,

I just downloaded Opera today for kicks. I have not tried it in quite some time. It seems rather nice. I was curious if any of you have any advice or tips on...

*Securing it.
*Speeding it up ala FF
*Setting up the tabbed favorites like FF
*Adblocking capabilities (like Adblock does for FF)


Also, are there any discounts available for the full version besides the student one?

Thanks as always,

Jag

 

*Securing it.
It's already the most secure browser.
*Speeding it up ala FF
It's already the fastest browser.
*Setting up the tabbed favorites like FF
Drag and drop links and folders to the personal bar.
*Adblocking capabilities (like Adblock does for FF)
Nothing as good as Adblock for FF.
Use Admuncher or take a look at this:

I thought there was tweaks to make it faster? I honestly think that FF is still faster, at least on my system.

Thanks for the link.

If you go to Tools\Preferences\Advanced\Browsing. In the "Loading" drop down menu try the "redraw instantly" setting. I think the default setting is to redraw after 1 second. To the eye, a page appears to load more quickly although in reality I suppose the time taken to load a whole page is the same. If you don't like the setting just change it back.

Some custom buttons http://nontroppo.org/wiki/CustomButtons The InIE and InFF buttons are handy as they will open the page you are on in IE or Firefox.
