7 Reasons to Use the Opera Web Browser
Firefox is a great open source web browser for Linux and other OSes, but have you checked out Opera?
The Opera web browser runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. You'll also find its available on many mobile phones and devices. Yes, its closed source, but its still free. Plus its packed with some great features. Right now we're going to look at six of them, not really in any particular order.
It has its own spell checker
If you're a long time IE user, this just might be one of your favorite features. Unlike IE, Opera has a spell checker built right into the browser. So any forms or text boxes you fill out or type in will be spell checked. No more spelling goofs on comments you leave or postings to Facebook, Twitter, and other sites.
Just like in MS Word or OOo Writer, misspelled words in forms and text boxes are underlined with a red squiggly line. To see possible replacements, simply right-click on the misspelled word.
