Editor's Review of Opera Browser
It's free, filled with features, and fast. Opera combines tabbed browsing and e-mail in one surprisingly clean, yet highly customizable interface.
Like IE and Firefox, Opera's browser blocks pop-ups, accepts plugins, remembers your online passwords and lets you subscribe to RSS newsfeeds. This latest version adds a welcome anti-phishing tool, but you'll need to turn it on (look for Enable Fraud Protection in the Security section on the Advanced tab in Preferences).
Opera's e-mail interface supports POP3 and IMAP servers, lets you create incoming message rules and assign Gmail-like labels, and finds and filters spam. The latest version even bundles in desktop widgets, including a BitTorrent browser, clocks, games, and news and weather tickers, that appear on your desktop as long as Opera is running. About the only thing Opera lacks in order to replace both your browser and PIM is a calendar module.
