TWHL and Opera Created 19 years ago2005-02-14 13:32:44 UTC by ministeve

• Not integrated with the kernel as IE has been since '98 in a cheap attempt to avoid legal issues (this helps significantly protect against malware, many of which use ActiveX, etc.);

• Uses HTTP pipelining, which I don't believe IE does, which increases speed (Firefox does also);

• True MDI (Multiple Document Interface), allowing tiling windows, cascading them, and tabs, all in a single container window - or multiple windows in multiple containers;

• Skinning (minimalism over IE, saves a great deal of screen space for the actual pages, or style for those with huge monitors and massive resolutions);

• Adjustable integrated 'searching' from the address bar (i.e. g twhl, by default, Googles for 'TWHL', but not limited to true search engines in this regard - I've added things like 'w' for Wikipedia;

• Mouse gestures - originally an Opera feature, emulated by many: right-click and drag in various directions to close windows, refresh pages, etc. Sounds strange but it grows on you quickly. Also, right-click and scroll brings up a list of child windows in this parent window (i.e. 'tabs');

• Decent popup control, which only blocks automatically-launched popups and not ones you actually 'want' (namely, those required by silly webdesigners);

• Excellent access to cookies, history, etc., for those who mysteriously sometimes want to clear their tracks;

• Sidebars featuring any webpages if so desired (such as our belov?d ShoutBOX;

• Fast-forward whilst viewing things like image galleries where the next button is no longer the reverse of the 'back', but actually moves forward in such things where you haven't looked before;

• Custom CSS to override poor webpages with useful content - switch everything to C=64 style, black-and-white, or your specified style;

• Pretty much every key on the keyboard being mapped to a shortcut (customisable, of course);

• A wand, to automatically login to sites if so desired;

• Aliases for favourites or even groups of favourites allowing you to open sites by typing whatever you've specified into the addy bar (I use 'comics' to open Ctrl-Alt-Del, Garfield and Dilbert, for instance);
