Opera 10 is an excellent browser optimized for low-speed networks

Opera has recently launched the new Opera 10 browser! What is it like in other browsers? Today, we will give you a new experience on Opera 10. I must say that I am a new user of the Opera Web Browser. Of course, I have "used" many previous versions of Opera, but I have never used Opera as the main browser for a long time. Therefore, I would like to comment on Opera below, it is necessary to name the "New User Experience" or, more accurately, it should be said, "a Firefox enthusiast's experience in Opera trial 」.

Basically, I have no special prejudice against browsers. I simply consider my personal needs and functionality. Even if I wrote "Everyone is here! You can add a reminder to IE 6.0 users to upgrade or replace browsers on the website. This does not mean that I hate IE. In fact, I have used IE for a long time, I used IE and removed my Netscape. I also thought Firefox was very troublesome and went back to IE, but IE 6 was an outdated product, microsoft has already launched Internet Explorer 8. Sooner or later, Internet Explorer 6 will be completely extinct. If you can update your browser first, it is definitely better than waiting for the new era to come and be eliminated.

Continuing this topic, in the interaction between the browser and the network environment, the browser product itself can propose new technologies and ideas, it is important to adapt to the new network environment and user needs. This is true for Firefox 3.5, Google Chrome, Safari, and even IE8, but they are still very young, and they are constantly seeking for new changes, an old-fashioned browser that is hard to ignore is "Opera". Even when the age is very old, Opera of every generation can always provide some impressive functions or be continuously learned by other browsers, for example, "tab page" and "mouse gesture 」. So now let me show you my experience of playing Opera 10 as a newbie.

Next, let me take the features of various Opera as an example to guide you to try Opera 10!

Opera Turbo: for low-speed network acceleration, compressing webpages reduces traffic

The new feature of Opera 10 is "Opera Turbo" at the bottom left of the browser 」. Can this "turbine" feature accelerate your network browsing speed? The answer is no, because "Opera Turbo" is a special feature designed for a special environment. If you want to speed up your own Internet access, it may be counterproductive.

Each function must be used where it is used. For example, the "Opera Turbo" is intended when you use low-speed bandwidth, such as wireless, 3G, or even dial-up, compress the text and text of the webpage on the Opera server before sending the "relatively small" data volume to your computer. So will the transfer speed become faster? Actually, no, it's just that the transfer volume is small, and you may find that the resolution of the image is very poor if the image is compressed.

Therefore, the use of the Opera Turbo function is obvious, that is, when you encounter a low-speed network environment, you can reduce the data transfer traffic, for example, if you use a laptop 3G to access the Internet, this effect may be effective.

For better settings, you can set Opera Turbo to "automatic". When it detects that the network is slow, it will help you automatically compress the webpage.

Make good use of the cache for quick Web browsing: Only sometimes you need to manually update the web page

Although the new function of Opera Turbo is not used in the general network environment, it is indeed fast for Opera to browse the webpage on the general network (normal bandwidth, this does not require any special test data. However, when you open a general web page (such as a computer plaything page), there is a feeling that the web page is turned on with a click. However, if you enable a full-web flash game, or a large number of zookeeper avasloud web pages like Gamil, you will not feel very quick.

Why is the speed for Opera to enable Web pages? It may be that it is very good at using the cache relationship, but it may also be very useful. Sometimes, when you open a previously opened webpage, the page usually displays old information first, you must manually refresh the webpage to view the latest webpage update.

Quick Dialing: easy start of common web pages

In fact, I still have been wondering why I named this feature like this. In short, the first feature of Opera allows you to set up nine (or more) frequently used webpages on the same new page for quick start. If you click "set quick dial" in the lower right corner, you can customize the background in addition to setting the format.

I have to say that this is indeed a good function. In fact, the websites we usually use are concentrated in the new pages, and the activation process can be optimized.

Left-side hidden function panel: space-saving Optimization

Unlike other browsers that place bookmarks and history buttons in the top tool column, Opera 10 moves the function button to the left edge of the window and can hide it, you can enable or disable it by clicking the panel button in the upper-left corner. This design is indeed very convenient, it also saves space on the top of the tool column, and reduces the mouse clicking and moving distance, from here we can also see that Opera is dedicated to the actual work of the browser design.

Jump up and down: Flip the pages of Google search results

Buttons on the previous and next pages are available in all browsers, but Opera10 has more "Jump up" and "Jump down". As the name suggests, this function is used to jump Several more pages, however, this button can also be applied in a special place: for example, after you use Google search, there are many pages in the search results. In this case, you can use the "Jump page" button, if you directly perform a paging command on Google, you will jump to the second page of the search result by pressing [jump down.

Enable new pages and reply to recent closed pages: Click the large button

In the upper-right corner of the Opera pagination column, there are new pagination buttons and recently closed pagination buttons. Both buttons are actually available in Firefox 3.5, but Opera has a large number of buttons in interface design and is easy to click. I personally need to use these two features, so it is a great design for me to provide such a button.

Page Content preview: Visual switch operation

The pagination column of Opera 10 hides a secret. You can "pull down the pagination column". At this time, the pagination columns originally in the label state will become graphical pagination columns in one preview window, this intuitive method is useful if you need to visually identify the content of each page.

When the tab column is in the label status, moving the cursor over the tab page automatically displays a preview of the webpage content. More importantly, this display is smooth and fast, and does not seem to affect performance.
