Yep that cool Browser from Opera just got better with some new add-ons and updates :xmas3:
I'm a long time user of Opera and IMO it's better than ever and now a recommended alternative to IE or FF.
You can download it for PC and Mac here: http://www.opera.com/browser/

The main highlights are:
1: Tab stacking
Dragging one tab over another allows you to create groups of tabs. Now you can keep dozens of webpages open, organized and under control.
2: Safer address field
The address field has been improved and now hides the complexity of long web addresses. It also provides more security information to help you stay safe when browsing; just click the badge for the website to see security information about the site you are visiting. See video.

3: Visual mouse gestures
Perform many common browser actions with a quick flick of your mouse. Holding down the right mouse button on a webpage now shows a visual guide that indicates how to perform the available gestures. See video.

4: Extensions (really love these!) :happy:
It is simple to extend Opera's functionality by visiting our extensions catalog. Some extensions create a button you can click or have menus, while others just work in the background. See video.

5: Search suggestions (cool!):xmas4:
Search suggestions predict queries as you type, making searching quicker and easier. Google search predictions are now built into Opera. When using the search field or searching from the address field with the 'g' search keyword, Google search predictions will appear.
6: Mail panel
When using Opera's built-in mail client, you now can now drag accounts and mail items where you want them. The mail panel can also hide when you are not viewing a mail tab.
