The internet has become one of the most important part of our daily lives - sending/receiving mails, reading news, booking/reserving tickets for flights, restaurants, hotels or movies or even shopping for that matter.
But what is the internet without a good browser or an experience that will make your surfing more interesting? Very often are stuck to Chrome, IE, Firefox or Safari failing to looking beyond for a new experience. And this is where Opera comes in.
The latest version, Opera Coast 4.0 gives a touch-browsing experience like no other. It is the smoothest way to browse on iPhone. Yes! It is now available only for iOS at present.
Below are the pros and cons of Opera Coast 4.0:
Pros:
* An interface that gives full precedence to the web experience; no toolbars, address bars or navigation buttons
* All navigation is purely by via gestures
* A user interface that is intuitive and easy to learn as you go along
* Full adherence to W3C web standards, so compatible with virtually every website
* Very fast and responsive
Cons:
* Only available for iOS at present
* Some pages render incorrectly
What makes it different:
* A touch-only interface that makes optimal use of screen space, which is especially suited to mobile phones where screen real estate is limited to begin with
* On-the-fly compression via its Turbo mode, which uses lesser bandwidth compared to other browser that don’t have this feature; so lower mobile internet bills
Who is it for:
* Anyone looking for a different, visually-rich web browsing experience
