This uses a number of techniques, including reflowing the page and resizing images if necessary. The former takes any Web page - even those (such as with fixed-width layouts - and resizes them to fit the whole page into the current window. This takes the form of the Fit to Window and Small Screen views. Opera is probably the most successful browser on handheld platforms, and the same rendering technology is included in this desktop browser. This option is particularly useful where systems will be shared among a number of people. You can change what information is deleted by this option, and you’re always prompted to confirm that’s what you want to do. This removes practically all personal information, such as browsing history and cookies, and can also be configured to remove stored passwords. Opera 8 has a Delete Private Info option. Newsfeeds are now handled separately to mail messages, although the layout is the same as in Opera 7. Click on the icon, and Opera will ask whether you want to subscribe to the feed answering 'yes' adds the feed to your subscriptions and opens the Feeds page. This is still slightly cryptic for non-technical user, and we’re unsure whether this is of much use in preventing phishing and other attacks.įor non-secure sites that link to an RSS newsfeed in the page headers, an RSS icon is shown in the address box. Equally, it’s possible for a legitimate site to have a certificate issued to a company name that’s different to the site name - NatWest bank, for instance, has a certificate issued to the Royal Bank of Scotland Group, of which it's part, but the names don’t match.Ī single click on the security information brings up the complete certificate used by the site. Although this would trigger a different kind of alert, you’re then into rather technical territory.
However, there are some problems with this principle, in that a clever scammer could use a self-signed certificate with a correct-looking name. The idea is that you can identify fake sites, such as those used in phishing scams, since the registered name would be different to that of the site you think you’re visiting. This is the organisation name in the certificate. When viewing a Web site over SSL, Opera shows information from the digital certificate used in the connection. The extra details are shown at the far right of the box, and will only obscure the longest of URLs. The address box in Opera 8 takes on some extra functions that are intended to feed back more information about the site you’re reading. Opera still supports sessions, where a number of open tabs can be saved and reloaded. This scheme also takes up more screen space than Firefox’s single close button for all tabs, but is possibly more intuitive.
Tabs in Opera 8 now each have their own close button, which reduces the number of mouse clicks needed to close one. Opera was the first browser to introduce tabbed browsing, now seen on Firefox and other browsers. Sometimes options don’t disappear until the browser is restarted. Some of these options will disappear again if you remove all the accounts or other configuration items. Some menu options appear on the main menu bar once you start using the relevant feature - mail, feeds and chat are the most obvious examples. The company listened to this criticism, and has responded by having very few options turned on by default if you’re an experienced Opera user, you can easily turn them all back on again if you wish. Previous versions of Opera presented new users with far too many options, buttons and panels, and the overall effect was overwhelming. The first thing you notice is the change in Opera’s user interface it’s now much cleaner by default, with fewer menu items and toolbars.

We’re reviewing the Windows version of Opera 8, although it will also be available for Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris.
There are plenty of changes in the new version, but Opera hasn’t abandoned much it’s more a case of reworking the browser's feature set to make it easier to use and understand. Opera 8 is the first major release of a browser since Mozilla Firefox hit the Web.
