At the moment, Internet Explorer (and its upcoming IE7 version) and Firefox are the most visible options.<\/p>\n<p>Opera needs something more to differentiate itself. Not that Opera is an under-powered browser (on the contrary, it has a wealth of features that Firefox only includes with additional plug-ins), but market perception is what it is: tabbed browsing, mouse movements, fast load times and better HTML\/CSS compatibility\u00c2\u00a0are just fast becoming commodities from this market.<\/p>\n<p>Opera decided to use a very bold move for its newest version 9 (immediately <a title=\"Opera web browser - download version 9\" href=\"http:\/\/www.opera.com\/\">available for download<\/a>): They included a <strong>BitTorrent P2P client<\/strong> in the browser.<\/p>\n<p>Some will say that this is bloating the product with a useless feature. Some P2P users will appreciate it, but wonder at why a browser should contain a BT client. Some P2P users will merely appreciate the move.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, I recommend using the Opera 9 web browser. It&#8217;s a very good browser (I tested the beta version at length). Even if P2P and BitTorrent support is not your priority, I think it should be on your PC instead of Internet Explorer. You will appreciate the change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new Opera web browser is adding a surprisingly new feature: BitTorrent client to share file (\u00c3\u00a0 la P2P).
