Opera Like Tab Preview in Firefox
by Jia Yi on 二.15, 2009, under browsing
Last month, I wrote about the best 10 Firefox addons for tabs in which I shared the best addons that can increase and improve productivity using Firefox tabs.
I also mentioned about a plugin called Tab Scope. This Firefox entension can show a popup on tabs and enables you to preview and navigate tab contents through that popup.

Basically it shows a preview of what is opened in a tab. It’s major features that I would like to quote here are:
- Real-time preview of tab contents
- Navigate (Back/Forward/Reload/Stop) through popup
- Scroll pages or frames in preview with mouse wheel
- Click links or buttons directly in preview
This is a similar feature that you can also find in Opera, and if you like that then you will definitely like Tab Scope and would want to give it a try!

Opera Turbo, Get Faster Browsing Experience
by Jia Yi on 二.13, 2009, under software
Opera unveiled its latest innovation today called Opera Turbo, which aims to provide faster browsing experience by compressing compress bandwidth consumption.
This is basically for users who surf the Internet a lot while on the go (i.e. on mobile phones). More and more people now rely on wireless and mobile-Internet connections, and with that in mind Opera launches Opera Turbo to increase mobility and on-the-go connectivity needs of end users.
Opera Turbo will be showcased at Mobile World Congress, which is to be held between February 16-18 in Barcelona Spain.
What Opera Turbo will actually do is it processes the data that is sent to a mobile phone and compresses it by up to 80 percent, which reduces the network traffic on the operator resulting in inexpensive web browsing on mobile phones.
Turbo will be available to Opera Mobile, Opera Mini and Opera Desktop users. Even devices with limited hardware capabilities will be able to enable Opera Turbo and offer faster download rates.
Opera plans to showcase lots of new things at MWC09, such as Opera Mobile and Mini on smartphones like HTC HD, Samsung Omnia and Sony Ericsson Xperia.
