Surf the Internet in a safer, faster, and easier way with Opera browser.

The most full-featured Internet power tool on the market, Opera includes pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing, integrated searches, E-mail, RSS Newsfeeds and IRC chat.

Opera supports all major Linux distributions. RedHat, SuSE, Mandrake, Debian, etc. Intel, PowerPC and Sparc versions.

Here are some key features of "Opera":

Pop-up Blocking:

· No more annoying pop-up advertisements. Opera lets you control whether Web sites can use pop-ups. Select to block them all, or let the browser open only pop-ups that you have requested.

Integrated Search:

· Search your favorite sites, for example Google, eBay, or Amazon without having to go to their Web pages. Use the integrated search window or shortcuts (e.g. "g" for Google) in the address field.

Skins:

· Give your browser the look you want with Opera's skins. Make the browser your own by giving it the colors, icons, and buttons of your choice.

E-mail with RSS Newsfeed:

· Opera's built-in POP/IMAP E-mail client is a combined e-mail program, news reader, mailing list organizer and RSS newsfeed reader. A safer, faster, and more intelligent way of handling your e-mails, Opera's e-mail client is database driven, enabling you to organize and find your e-mails in a matter of seconds through easy searches, labeling, and filtering rather than traditional folder storage.

Tabbed Browsing:

· Surf the Web easier and faster by opening multiple Web pages within the same application window. Save a collection of pages as a session and open them all with one click - every time.

Advanced Security:

· Protect yourself from ad-ware, spy-ware, viruses, and other third-party malicious software applications that silently attack your computer while you are surfing the Web.

IRC Chat:

· Communicate with people all over the world using Opera's IRC chat client. Use Opera to connect to IRC servers to chat privately or in rooms, or share files and photos with your friends and family.

· Opera is from now 100% FREE and with NO ADS !
