The Opera browser is yet another alternative to Inernet Explorer and its really good. For older computer with less processing power and ram, Opera is great. The only reason I don’t use it all the time is because I have many extensions in Firefox that I need to use.

Either way Opera does have this great feature that I wish Firefox had and that is a a rewind button.

The Left arrow is the regular back button, but the double left arrow is the rewind button and its great. Here is how it works.  The following is an exerp from the Opera website.

Specifically, what happens when you rewind is that you go back to one of these points in your history, whichever is latest:

*    The last page you visited on a server, if you have left the server
*    The first page you visited on a server

Suppose that you have a browsing history like the following:

1. www.opera.com
2. www.opera.com/about
3. www.opera.com/download
4. www.opera.com/mini
5. widgets.opera.com
6. widgets.opera.com/yetanthetclock42
7. widgets.opera.com/yetanthetclock43
8. widgets.opera.com/yetanthetclock44
9. mini.opera.com

Rewinding will then take you back through the URLs that are emphasized in the above list.

So why is this good? Because it saves you tons of clicks.   Say you go to google and  search for ‘computing tips’. You will get tons of sites. You click on first result and go to that website, call it example.com . The site is good and you visit 12 pages of its site. But you want to go back to google’s results to check out other sites.   With the  traditional back button you have to click back 12 times to get back to google, or with Firefox you can click drop down box and try and find google’s result page.   Those methods are fine , they are just too messy or waste time. With Opera’s rewind button you are back where you want to be with 2 clicks. The first click will take you back to the first page you visited on example.com then the next click your back to where you want to be. Google’s results page.  Then you can visit the next result.

I used Opera for bit at a time, but every time I use other browsers I find myself missing this feature. All browsers should definitely implement it.

What do you guys think? Should browsers implement it? If you have not tried it, download opera and use it for a week and see what happens.
