Web 2.0, SOA, and Web Services: Opera 11 Web Browser Extends User Controls

Opera 11 Web Browser Extends User Controls

by Cameron Sturdevant

Visual Navigation

Using the right mouse button I activated the visual navigation page to quickly perform common tasks such as opening a new tab.

Drag and Drop

The Opera 11 e-mail client gained the ability to drag and drop messages and folders.

Ready

Opera 11 provides a number of tools to demonstrate the new features of the product so that users can get up to speed quickly.

Flash

After downloading the latest version of Adobe Flash, I was able to watch YouTube videos. There are also extensions for downloading video available with Opera 11.

Tab Stack

Here you see what looks like two tabs, one related to eWEEK and one for social media.

Expanded

When the tabs stacks are expanded, the various underlying sites are exposed but still neatly organized.

Clean Security

Opera 11 has a URL checker that vetted eweek.com with a clean security record.

Security information

Site security information is based on external reputation information providers.
