Opera Web Browser



Opera is another great free web browser. Like Firefox, it is available for all the most important operating systems. The latest version is 9.5.  In addition, there is Opera Mini for smartphones and PDA's. Unfortunately, I have none of those new gadgets and have not been able to test Opera web browser with these geek toys.

Like Firefox, Opera regards your online security important. It is safer than IE, so you should seriously consider using it, not IE.

Opera helps new users by producing even video tutorials of its software. Check them out!  You can download Opera from here.
