online life. To add a new page, simply click on an empty Speed Dial and

performed while clicking and holding the right mouse button and moving
the mouse in an easy pattern. Perform movements with the mouse to

you've saved the file, so there’s no wasted time. Pause and resume
downloads with the push of a button, and choose multiple files to
download simultaneously without any fuss. Opera also features built-in
support for the social file distribution protocol, BitTorrent, which
makes it easy to download Torrent files without the need for a separate
application.
Master your information • Tabs and Sessions.
Opera is very light on your computer, so it’s possible to have many
tabs open at once. Drag and drop tabs around to change their order, or
get a preview pausing over them with your mouse. You can even save a
session of tabs for later, making it easy to pick up where you left off. • Content blocking.
Block images, pop-ups, and plug-ins you don't want . Right-click and
choose “Block content” to selectively disable annoying elements. To
make Web pages load faster, or to avoid offensive content, temporarily
turn off images by pressing the image button. In Opera, smart pop-up
blocking is turned on by default. • Zoom and Fit to width.
Is it difficult to read the content on a page? Use Opera’s Zoom button
in the lower right corner to resize Web pages. If the page is too wide
for your screen, simply hit “Fit to Width” and Opera will resize the
Web page so you avoid horizontal scrolling. • Built-in e-mail and newsfeeds.
Opera's built-in e-mail client features improved responsiveness. It
also retrieves and searches your mail and news feeds even faster than

them later, even when you're offline. Easily tag articles so you know
which ones you want to read, which ones are important, which ones are
funny, etc.

Opera is easily customizable. Choose among hundreds of skins and
setups, add or remove buttons, toolbars, or change the entire layout of
