A Browser for all Systems- Opera.

   A lot of people use more than one PC in today's busy world. Some of us even use more than one type of operating system.  Maybe Windows at work and Mac at home.  Add into the equation mobile smart phones and you can have a mash up of various software platforms. 

One thing I like to do is sync my Web favorites.  But with all different type of operating systems this can be hard to do easily.  There are some applications that provide this type of service, but nothing that automates this very easy.

The Opera web browser has a function that saves your favorites to all your PC’s running opera no matter what operating system. Download here:  Opera Browser

--  Opera can be installed to: any windows PC, any Mac , Blackberry, Most smart phones, Linux, windows mobile,  and even Solaris.  By creating a Opera account here : Opera Link you can then sign into the favorites sync in any Opera browser.

  The Opera browser has actually been around quite a while. First launched in 1996.  For whatever reason they do not advertise as much as other popular browsers like Firefox or Safari.

Example.  I have Opera installed on my Vista PC, Mac OS-X Mac book, my MSI wind net book on both the Ubuntu Linux and “hackintosh” OS, my blackberry 8330 curve and Blackberry Storm, and a Old windows mobile PDA I use on Wi-Fi.  When I save a favorite or delete a favorite website on any of those, it syncs to all those devices.

  Not only does it do this well, but it has some decent plug-in features, easy theme customization, and highly configurable security settings.  You can choose from thousands of widgets and plug-in's just like other popular browsers.  I have mine open a folder of four pages upon startup ( Google, Gmail, yahoo, and zenbe mail) rather than just one homepage. Also I have a facebook and Twitter plug-in that give me updates right through the browser sidebar. It also features tabbed browsing, mouse gestures ( a must have!), download manager, and malware and phishing protection.

--Even if you do use it as your primary Web browser, it is a simple way to sync favorites from one PC to your mobile device.
