Handy browser, can read your websites you visit.

 

http://www.opera.com/

http://www.opera.com/voice/

 

First download the Main prog. Then after that goto any KC site, highlight a some KC text, right-click, voice, then it will ask you do download additional software. Very handy, no need to open further progs.

Did you know Opera 9.0 beta is out?

 

I've been using Opera 8.5 since they made it free, 9.0 is an upgrade and it is much better the 8.5 even though it's still in beta. Get it at:

 

opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=108345

 

If you want to get the most out of Opera go here

For those of you who don't know; Opera is the fastest browser according to numerous browser speed tests, and the new 9.0 release is the most web standards compliant of all browsers on the market.

 

This website goes into the comparisons

I use Opera as my main browser but sometimes you need to use Internet Explorer for certain sites. I recommend Maxthon which uses the IE engine and is far superior to IE alone, in fact Microsoft executives are on record saying they use IE with Maxthon. Get it at:

http://www.maxthon.com/

 

Firefox is faster then any IE based browser but slower then Opera, although Firefox has many extensions and plugins which makes it very popular. But if you don't need the plugins I advise using Opera because you just can't beat it for the speed and responsiveness.

It seems to be much faster, I love the Tabs it lets you use. I can have many websites open. I is not so sure about it's refresh rate, before [cause I come here often] the pages were not refeshing. Maybe a Cookie problem but they are enabled. How to I get it TO refesh?

You can also change the setting of how often Opera checks a webite for new documents and images.

 

Go to tools>preferences>advanced>history

 

The cache in Opera allows fine adjustment to get the most out of it. The settings you choose depend very much on how important it is for you to see the 'latest' version of a page.

 

Use the following at history:

 

Check documents

Check Images

Check Others

 

You are able to choose how often Opera checks to see if a webpage has new stuff on it if you have that page in your cache, and if you have cache enabled.

That's works nice.

 

I also found out my sites had probs with Opera, anyway they all gone now. So, thx for this tip.
