Comments on: I [heart] Opera http://www.16punches.com/2006/06/23/i-heart-opera/ Gotta get geeked Tue, 06 Jan 2009 01:43:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: 16punches http://www.16punches.com/2006/06/23/i-heart-opera/#comment-23 16punches Sat, 24 Jun 2006 14:52:23 +0000 http://www.16punches.com/2006/06/23/i-heart-opera/#comment-23 I was a heavy Live Bookmarks user until just yesterday when I discovered Opera 9 has a built in feed reader. I opened all the blogs I read with a right click > open all in tabs (yes there were a Lot of tabs), subscribed to each one's RSS and voilà: all my favourite blogs' recent posts delivered straight to my browser. I've played some more with the "Sessions" feature - if I close Opera with tabs open, the next time I open Opera they open with the browser. Pretty cool imo.

Just an FYI: Firefox 2 will have the close-button-per-tab thing, though I usually use the middle mouse button for both Firefox and Opera for this task. I don't think the "Sessions" concept made it into Firefox 2 though (the "picking up where you left off" thing). I think if Firefox crashes it will restore your tabs, but not if you shut down normally.
