Opera 8.0

Opera 8.0 was released today. It has a new look to it but not drastic. It still has tabbed browsing just like every other browser that’s not Internet Explorer. It has full support for GMail and it is the first browser with voice support (meaning you can browse the web using spoken commands). It is also the first browser to natively support Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files. One cool thing I noticed about the new Opera was the blue RSS graphic in the address bar when you’re visiting a site with an RSS feed. It’s similar to the orange symbol you get in Firefox.

  1. I like the SVG concept, being a graphic designer one of my pet peves is when people print websites to paper they ALWAYS look pixilated. I used to use opera, but I think that FireFox is the way to go these days.
