Yeah yeah we know, Mozilla's firefox is quickly becoming the standard. It really is a great browser and it's been our default browser for quite some time now. That is until we set our eyes on Opera. One look at Operas mouse gestures, speed dial, it's total freedom to customize anything, creating a search engine for just about any site and the fact that you don't need to install a bunch a plugins or extension to have your browser run like , well Opera. Check out all the features here.

Opera has been around since 1994 and started tab browsing long before the usual suspects. We can't stress enough how good the mouse gesture function is as well as the option of creating a search engine for any site that has a search field. For example, let's say you often search news stories on Digg.com or videos on Youtube. Instead of going to these sites and then typing in your search, with Opera you can create a search engine which will be
accessible in the "search engine window" or in your address bar. This will allow you to search those sites from anywhere no matter what site you're currently at. Check out the latest version here. It's free.
