Welcome to Opera

This CD uses a specially configured copy of Opera that can run on a CD without needing to be installed. Some functionality has had to be disabled to allow this. To get the full Opera Experience, please install Opera onto your computer.

What Is Opera?

Opera is an "internet suite". That means it's more than just a browser (although it's possible to use Opera as if it is just a browser). Opera includes:

• A web browser:
  • HTML, XHTML, CSS, JavaScript (ECMAScript)
  • Built-in pop-up blocker
  • Includes the Shockwave Flash plugin
  • Secure - supports industry standard 128-bit encryption
  • Fast
• An e-mailer that supports:
  • POP3/IMAP/SMTP
  • Spam filtering - Learning filters that use statistical analysis to rid your e-mail of spam
  • Learning filters that can learn how you categorise your e-mails - your e-mail is automatically managed for you!
  • Full-text indexing - for instant searches
• A Usenet newsgroup reader (integrated with the e-mailer)
• An RSS web site newsfeed aggregator (integrated with the e-mailer)
• IRC chat support
• Simple contacts manager (address book)
