Opera

Opera is yet another web browser, which, when it comes to the popularity among the Internet users, takes the third place, right behind Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. The layout of this application differs drastically from other web browsers. Opera runs on its own engine, which is very advanced and reliable, so Opera scarcely breaks down. This application is available for Windows and Linux. A very well know version of this program is Opera Mini, frequently installed on mobile phones. This web browser offers a few interesting options, not available with other such applications. For example, it presents the user with the possibility to run an advanced search through the history of visited pages. Also, it offers support for Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), used in mail boxes. Opera cooperates with the application called Silverlight 1.1 (by Microsoft), thanks to which it has rich graphics. Opera allows for opening websites both in tabs, as well as in separate windows. This is a very interesting application worth recommendation.
