Opera extensions: YouTube suite


Ah, Opera! My favourite browser has been recently update to version 11. There are lots of new beautiful features, like Presto 2.7 engine, improved HTML5 support, tab stacking, mouse gestures visualisation[1], smart address field, Extensions and much more.
Opera 11 has been officially out for just two weeks, and there are already 300 Extensions (also known as "Add-ons" in Firefox and (surprise!) "Extensions" in Chrome) available!

So, the number of extensions is growing rapidly. But how can one benefit from an extension? Well, if you are a user-js geek, first, think of Opera extensions as of always up-to-date 3d party user-js scripts. The provided browser communication API for managing windows, tabs, toolbars, icons etc. makes a complete picture. Yet, a user-js is just a script that can be initially triggered at various page loading stages. Every extension, for starters, has it's own process constantly running in background... But why discuss technical issues? I'm sure a geek can find a way to create an extension in 30 minutes. (Hopefully all geeks have followed that link :)

I believe, there is no need to explain, what YouTube is. The widely-used video hosting service already got it's fair share of Opera extensions. Would you like to find out what features these wonderful extensions are capable of?

Why Opera?


There are so many browsers out there! Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari - are the major players on the market. But hey, there is another major and one of the oldest browsers in the world: Opera. You might have heard lots of rumours about it. Maybe even used it. Or maybe you belong to a small group of people, who actually use this browser everyday. Would you like to know, why I've been using Opera for 10 years? The answer lies below..
