![]() But there are some other worthy contenders that you should definitely check out. ![]() There are many options for selecting the best browsers for MAC, some would go with the all-time favorite Google Chrome Browser, while some are fans of Firefox. For most Mac users, Safari does the job but it is for away from being the best Mac browser that you can use. It had my bookmarks, my setting, etc., and yet the stupid program (the one that would install itself the next time I open OPERA) could not figure out that it is incompatible with my resident OS 10.9. (I had once tried 10.10 and don't like it.) But now OPERA left me standing nude. Version reviewed: 9.I like and prefer my OS 10.9. It's worth trying it and I'd say it is even better than the bundle Web browser, Safari, and a strong competitor for Mozilla Firefox. In conclusion: this is a very good Web browser. This is one of the browsers that have taken the Acid2 test.ĭrawbacks / flaws: the only thing that I miss in Opera is the integrated spell checker and the text input history. Pluses: it has lots of built in features, it comes with new built in tools since this version, it has a very fast and resource friendly rendering engine, it has a very good cache management. You can take a peek at my screenshots that I took while testing Opera and Acid2. Opera is also one of the browsers that have passed the Acid2 rendering test. It had some issues in the past but now, if the Web page is made in compliance with the W3C Web standards, usually there won't be any rendering errors. The rendering engine of this browser is very good. From the resources point of view, Opera is one of the most resource friendly browsers while it provides a lot of functionality. It has a very good startup and rendering speed, in the same time being resource friendly. And because Opera doesn't want you to have the impression that something is missing, you can find there a RSS/Atom news-feed reader. You can also send emails because it features SMTP support. In order to have a good communication with the rest of the world it comes with a built in IRC client and with an e-mail client which can access POP/ IMAP mail accounts. You have to configure this feature from the browser's 'Preferences' panel. You can fill in very quickly all kind of Web forms when you need to register for certain Web services. ![]() This means that you can easily restore an accidentally closed tab.Īnother very good feature of this browser is the form filler engine. In order to have a better browsing session it has built in a Trash Can where it places a closed Web page if you accidentally close a tab. It comes with a very good tabbed browsing engine, mouse gestures, a very good password manager and my favorite feature: the possibility to save the browsing session. ![]() It still has the features that were implemented in the previous versions of Opera. Since a certain minor version of Opera 9, the developers introduced the Speed Dial functionality which can be used in order to quickly access some predefined Web pages. This version comes with the possibility to add your favorite search engines. It has built in the widgets support, a BitTorrent client, a thumbnail preview when you hover over a browsing tab, a site preferences engine and it has also an improved rich text editing features. The 9th version comes with a lot of new features and it is a real upgrade if you are still using Opera 8. Opera is an Internet browser and it has built in a lot of tools in order for you to have a safe and easy browsing session.
