On Opera Web Browser's Many Firsts
I use Opera's web browser. Before Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE), Mozilla Foundation Firefox, Google Chrome and Apple Safari ever came out with tabbed browsers, Opera was already doing it since 2000. This is not the only "first" from Opera that some other web browser makers are claiming to be theirs.
Opera is one of the first most secured browser. It's not Firefox. Today, Opera is next to Google Chrome as the most secured browser. As of Oct 2010, Opera 10.x had 7 advisories with 0% unresolved compared to IE 8.x's 8 advisories with 25% unresolved and Firefox 3.x's 9 advisories with 11% unresolved.
Opera is the first Windows-based browser to fully support web standards. In fact it is the first browser to completely focus on adhering to the W3C standards. It passed the ACID2 test in 2006. Opera 10 passed the ACID3 test in 2009, just a few months after the release of another ACID3 passer, Safari 4.
Long before Firefox, Safari and Chrome came out, Opera is the first to rightfully claim to be the fastest browser. Although, it is now controversial to claim as the fastest browser as critics technically scrutinize the details of the tests performed. Today, almost all non-IE browsers claim to be the fastest.
Opera is the first major browser to support SVG
in 2005.
Opera is the first browser to introduce mouse gestures in 2001.
Opera it the first to offer the best zooming feature in a browser with proportional zoom scaling of 20-1000% since 1996. Opera's zooming feature affects the entire page, much like how zooming works in Adobe's PDF reader. Today, Opera's zooming feature is still considered to be the best in the industry.
