Opera Browser
Why it's a best pick:
Opera has been in the market for more than a decade and is known for being an innovator. Opera is the most feature packed browser out of the box, yet is a smaller download than most. It has all the basic features along with a large number of unique features you won’t find anywhere else. Opera includes a built in E-mail client and RSS Feed Reader as well as an IRC Chat Client and Torrent Downloader. A recently introduced feature called Opera Turbo compresses web pages before downloading them on your computer. This can speed up browsing dramatically (3-4 times faster) on slower connections.
Opera is a pioneer of tabbed browsing and features like Visual Tabs (tab thumbnails), Tab Preview (thumbnail preview), Trash Can (stores recently closed tabs) makes Opera’s implementation of Tabbed Browsing possibly the best.
Opera Unite allows you to instantly share files or stream music from your computer. Opera is also the fastest when it comes to rendering HTML/CSS however its current javascript rendering engine (soon to be replaced with a newer faster engine) is showing signs of age and is much slower than Firefox, Chrome or Safari’s engine.
Manufacturer Description: Fast and secure web browser. Key features include Speed Dial, which puts your favorite sites just one click away at all times, Search Shortcuts, which lets you type your search queries directly into the address bar, and Trash Can, which lets you instantly reopen recently closed tabs.
