Check out the new Opera Community site

Published March 8th, 2007 10:20 AM EST By Daniel Goldman

The new Opera Community site, my.opera.com, was launched today. Go check it out now!

The community site is sort of like MySpace, where you could post photos, blog, photo blogging, friend network, and more. One of the nice things about the new site is that all photo albums, blogs, etc. have been optimized for the Opera browser on other platforms, such as Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, Nintendo DS, and the Wii.

I love the new design; I think the new People page and redesigned photo section make the site look cooler. No?

    I liked the old one better… this one might have more features and stuff, but the old one was one of a kind.

    The site looks nice enough, but unfortunately, none of technical issues from before was resolved. For that reason alone I am very disappointed.

    I agree with BAMAToNE. Several reported bugs were not fixed more than 2 months.

    “I liked the old one better”

    Why?

    Why do people never seem to explain exactly WHAT they are having problems with? It’s like they expect Opera to read their minds…

About Opera


Q: What is Opera?
A: Opera is one of the most powerful Web browsers around. A Web browser is the program that allows you to view Web pages. Opera is well known for innovation for PC browsers and bringing the full web to mobile phones and devices.

Q: Is Opera free?
A: Absolutely free.

Q: Why should I download a browser? Doesn't my computer already come with one for free?
A: It's about getting more out of the time you spend on the internet. Opera is designed to be much faster than these browsers and gives you powerful features that the default browser lacks. Default browsers like Internet Explorer are also more likely to be subjected to dangerous software such as viruses and spyware.

Q: Will Opera keep me safe from fraudulent websites and malicious hackers?
A: According to Secunia, a respected firm that tracks security in browsers, Opera has the best reputation and track record when it comes to browser security. Keeping our users safe from security vulnerabilities, fraudulent websites, and malicious hackers is a top priority for Opera. Opera is maintained by hundreds of engineers, developers and security experts who are constantly looking to make the browser even safer.

Q: Doesn't Opera copy all of their features from other browsers?
A: Absolutely not. In fact, many of the features that are popular in other browsers today were invented and pioneered by Opera a long time ago. Opera invented the precursor to tabs (in 1994), Page Zoom (1994), was the first browser to block pop-up ads (2000), first to add a Search field in the browser toolbar (2000), Sessions (1996), deleting private data (2000), Mouse Gestures (2000), User JavaScript (2005), BitTorrent support (2005), Widgets (2006), Speed Dial (2007), and much more.

Q: Does Opera support extensions, such as those found in Firefox?
A: Much of the functionality provided through Firefox extensions is already built directly into Opera, so you don't have to download additional extensions in Opera. In addition, Opera is highly customizable and supports all standard plug-ins.

Q: Can I also use Opera on my mobile phone?
A: Yes. And your Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS or almost any connected device and mobile phones. Opera Mobile oftens comes preinstalled from the manufacturers, but if it doesn't you can install Opera Mini which runs on nearly all phones.

Q: This all sounds great, so how do I download Opera?
A: -- Opera on your computer
-- Opera Mini on your phone
-- Opera Mobile on your phone
