eWEEK Labs Walk-Through: Opera 9

If youre installing Opera 9, you must be cool, like these people (even though they appear to be using a tower PC from 1996).

The well-implemented Block Content feature let eWEEK Labs selectively choose elements from a Web site that we wished to have blocked.

Users can define specific settings for display, pop-up and cookie management, and other configurations on a site-by-site basis.

Any search field on any Web site can be easily added to Operas search bar and can even become the default for searches in the browser.

With the new Widgets feature, users can add small floating applications to their Opera browser space.

The integrated BitTorrent client in Opera 9 lets users download large files directly in the browser. (Just remember that large download before you shut down the browser.)

Going to the URL opera:config lets users access advanced control settings for the browser.
