Opera Software


Currently, Opera is significantly more popular in Europe than it is in the US. However, it recently beat Safari in total number of pages downloaded last month (on handsets). According to their website, a special feature includes their Exclusive Opera Turbo compression which is designed to boost slow connection speeds. Anther feature is what they call "visual tabs". This is truly unique in that instead of showing a simple tab at the top of a browser, containing the name of the website, it shows a full thumbnail for that website. Finally, Opera offers educational resources to educators, students, and even web developers in the form of an Opera Web Standards Curriculum. Furthermore, they offer university tours and seminars, as well as education discussion forums.
