Being the underdog of the Internet browser war, Opera still haven't given up it's effort of becoming top 2 or maybe top 3 browser. For you info, IE currently dominates the browser market, occupying 70% of the browser market while Mozilla Firefox occupies 20%, Safari 6% and Opera 0.8%. That 0.8% is really really low. Even Google Chrome beat it by 0.1% since it's release a few months ago.
I have been using Opera since version 8, thanks to the recommendation of a friend. This version 10, codenamed Peregrine, retains the same visual...
Opera is a proprietary software provider who has created a variety of tools for online users. The Internet browser is much like Internet Explorer, and serves the same purpose. But there are some significant differences that convinces a small number of Internet users to adopt this new browser in place of IE.

You might find yourself making it your default browser. As a chrome user myself I don't feel all that alien to Opera 10 because some of its features are pretty similar. Chrome users might find the transition between browsers easy. The first similarity that you'll find is the speed dial page. It should look like Chrome's thumbnail page except...
Browser cache is a place where all the browsing records are restored, so that next time you browse the same site, it will spare you a lot of time by directly finding the records from the cache.
Internet Explorer cache is not malicious, but every time you browse a new website, a new cache is produced. With the accumulation of Internet Explorer cache, many useless or unnecessary files are produced. Thus the space of hard disk will be less and less, then it will take you a lot of time to browse a website.
In order to avoid this,...

While writing and designing your website you need to keep in mind the various web browsers which one can find out there. Simply because you use, say, Internet Explorer version 7 that does not mean that your visitors will also be using IE7. Countless web users are still using Internet Explorer 6 (still roughly 26% at the point in time I am writing this).
Actually, the top 10 browsers by market share (according to Net Applications) are:
IE6 - 26.2%
Firefox - 23.7%
IE7 - 19.9%
IE8 - 19.9%
Safari - 4.2%
Chrome -3.2%
Opera - 2.4%
