CBM nostalgia in Opera 7
« on: February 01, 2003, 05:26:28 AM »
The latest in the line of browsers from Opera Software ASA - version 7, pays homage to Commodore!

Click the 4th icon on the address toolbar to switch between User and Author mode then select Nostalgia from the associated dropdown!

@Quixote
It is my favourite browser under Winbloat, very fast and small exe compared to NS7.01, nice features such as tabbed browsing, slim email client, popup blocker, very customisable cookie handling, oft-needed prefs in quick popup via F12, built-in Search bar (no need to constantly type in google address), page zoom  etc. etc. 6.05 seemed a bit iffy with things such as layers, v7 seems to handle all the sites I've been to thus far perfectly. The combination of speed, tabbed browsing and built-in Search bar make it a joy to use in my book.

Yeah, there is gfx munging in the Nostalgia mode as it seems to set up a fixed width display to emulate the old screen, if you run a screen mode exceeding this it gets munged in here - not like that in usual modes though :-)
