Opera 9.01: one of the most underrated web browsers?

August 24, 2006 in Software | Permalink

Screengrab_5 Most of the web and magazine talk is based around Mozilla Firefox as the number one alternative to the ageing Internet Explorer. However, we seem to easily overlook the alternatives. For instance, there are a number of Internet Explorer based web browsers such as Maxthon and Avant that add additional functionality to the IE engine. Both worthy alternatives and worth considering, if you still use IE.

There is another alternative: Opera. This isn't a new web browser, it's based on established technology, is extremely fast in operation, uses its own HTML engine and the latest version ships with support for sharing torrent files. It's also highly customisable and available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux platforms. You'll receive the same browsing experience across all three platforms.

Until recently, Opera was shareware. It's now completely free and Opera quietly released 9.01, earlier this month. Click here to download.

Following on from our previous post, there's also a portable version of Opera 9.01, which will enable you to install on your USB stick. Check it out.
