Opera also works very well on older computers, with slower processors, limited memory and not much disk space. Opera offers the usual features, such as e-mail, address book, newsgroup reading, and Internet chat. It also conforms to Web standards for Java, JavaScript, 128-bit encryption for secure online banking, cascading style sheets, and so on. But what makes it interesting is an array of original features that make the Web more useful and less annoying. For example, the program can remember the Web page you last visited, so that your next browsing session picks up where you left off.
Opera also has a number of clever, single-key shortcuts.
Hit the plus or minus key to magnify or reduce the entire page, graphics and all. If you are concerned about security and like to control your surfing, Opera can be highly customized. The skins are arranged in 27 categories ranging from Metallic and Anime to Kid Stuff and Horror. Be aware, however, that NeoPlanet cheats a bit. It looks and feels like its own browser but it requires that you also have Internet Explorer on your machine.
