Tabs (apparently) was from a browser called InternetWorks

Speed Dial - I think so too.
Turbo. Maybe too. They specialised in mobile phones, and on the slower / old-tech mobiles (and when data usage was (and still is)) an issue, it works well.
Customisable - I think that's true too

Thank you for responding.

Compressing web pages? First to implement?

Hi all,

I've been using Opera for a while (10 years).

Curious - which features did Opera bring to the market? What was unique?

I for one know it just 'worked' the way I needed. It truly was a web browser's Browser

Wasn't sure where else to put this. Hope it's ok here.

Regards,

Profess
