Opera 9.2: Speed dial your favorite websites

Filed under: Internet, Windows, Macintosh, Freeware, Unix

If you're like most people, you probably have 5 or 10 websites, beside DownloadSquad, that you visit every day. But you've probably got dozens, if not hundreds of bookmarks cluttering up the bookmarks/favorites menu of your web browser.

That makes sense, because you want to bookmark pages you visit regularly, but not every day. And of course you bookmark pages you think you might come back to later, but never do.

The latest version of the Opera web browser has a nifty new feature that makes it easy to jump to your favorite pages. Every time you open a new tab, you're presented with 9 boxes with thumbnails of your favorite sites. You can either select sites yourself, or choose your most visited sites based on your browser history.

Each site is assigned a number, and you can automatically load each page by pressing Crtl+1, Crtl+2, etc. When you're on a blank tab, looking at the thumbnails, you can click Crtl+R to reload the images to see if anything changed while you were trying to decide which page to read first. This also handy because the thumbnails are not supposed to reload every time you start the browser (although in this initial release, they do).
