Opera browser is probably the most featured packed and consistently enhanced browser out. I love the fact that you can turn off certain features on a site. For example, I have a data plan with caps so I can turn off the video playback on all sites. It allows for any user to pick and choose what they want to play instead letting videos play automatically as they often do. It's a very fast browser as well unlike internet explorer which I don't use unless I have to for validating code. I have never had a bug or any kind of virus on Opera. Internet Explorer is rid with viruses and anytime I open my own it causes my computer to lag a whole lot. The speed of opera browser is amazing as well it has a switch that lets a user turn on the turbo. The official site tells that the turbo feature is created do to compression. It includes the ability to use mouse gestures and keyboard shortcuts. For instance, if I wanted to refresh my page I could move in a straight up and down motion my with mouse by gesturing and it would pop up immediately. (Opera 2012 p.4) It has heightening security in its recent release Opera 12.02 and tells a user if a site could have malicious content.  (Opera 2012)
