you've added to your favorite list.

- Customizable themes.

Opera provides an integrated search and navigation function, which is a
common sight among its other, well known, adversaries. Opera utilizes a
single bar for both search and navigation, instead of having two text
fields at the top of the screen. This feature obviously keeps the
browser window uncluttered, whilst providing you with top functionality.
Opera also includes a download manager, and a private browsing mode that
allows you to navigate without leaving a trace. Opera allows you to
install an array of extensions too, so you can customize your browser as
you see fit. Although the catalog is significantly smaller than more
popular browsers' you'll find versions of Adblock Plus, Feedly, and
Pinterest.
Opera is a great browser for the modern web. In terms of numbers of
users, it is behind Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet
Explorer. However, it is bang up to date with cutting edge technology
and remains a strong contender in the browser wars.
Overall, Opera has an excellent design coupled with top performance; it
is both simple and practical. The keyboard shortcuts are similar to
other browsers, the available options are varied and the Speed Dial
interface is pleasant to use. You can also customize Opera with themes
and make you browsing experience even more personal. So, if you are
thinking of trying something different than your usual browser, Opera
could be the choice for you.
