Today, I will share my thoughts on Opera Unite, a new Opera technology that I’m extremely excited about.
This technology is a radical first step towards addressing what I call “the Internet’s unfulfilled promise”, which is about our ability to connect with each other and participate meaningfully online—on our own terms, and without losing control of our data. Opera Unite is a unique technology that turns any computer or device running Opera into a Web server.

Click Essentials: Web browsers http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/click_online/7845451.stm Click Essentials: Web browsers
BBC 'Click' TV programme
When you surf the web, you'll probably get so much pleasure from actually looking at web pages, that you won't pay much attention to the program you're using to access them - your web browser.
There are several makes available, and they are all much more than just an address bar and a back button.
If you'd like to get more from your browser, read on for this Click Essential Guide.
The five browsers we're looking at are; Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Chrome. Pretty much everyone uses one of these beasts.

Chrome vs Firefox vs Flock http://mashable.com/2008/12/01/chrome-vs-firefox-vs-flock/ Browser Head to Head: Chrome vs Firefox vs Flock "Firefox is here to stay, but there will always be a long tail of niche alternatives like Chrome and Flock. When Chrome moves into Mac realm it could pick up some market share from Safari.
Flock will be there for social network junkies who want to try something new, but the first step to making Flock mainstream will be for more of the social networks themselves to go mainstream. "
Sharing the Browser ... Blue Spruce http://tinyurl.com/6g4s5c Sharing the Browser
Software lets workers collaborate online by clicking together.
Online collaboration often consists of little more than forwarding links or snippets from a Web page to a friend or colleague with a few comments dropped in. IBM is hoping to change this by letting people share the browser itself.
This is the idea behind Blue Spruce, an experimental browser project that IBM hopes may change the way many people use the Web.
Google Chrome : Web browser http://www.google.com/chrome Google Chrome : Web browser released 2nd September 2008
On the surface, we designed a browser window that is streamlined and simple. To most people, it isn't the browser that matters. It's only a tool to run the important stuff -- the pages, sites and applications that make up the web. Like the classic Google homepage, Google Chrome is clean and fast. It gets out of your way and gets you where you want to go.
Under the hood, we were able to build the foundation of a browser that runs today's complex web applications much better. By keeping each tab in an isolated "sandbox", we were able to prevent one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from rogue sites. We improved speed and responsiveness across the board. We also built a more powerful JavaScript engine, V8, to power the next generation of web applications that aren't even possible in today's browsers.
The Zac Web Browser http://www.zacbrowser.com/ The Zac Browser is the first Web browser developed specifically for children with autism and autism spectrum disorders such as Asperger syndrome, which are pervasive developmental disorders.
People CD - the creators of Kidz CD: Web 2.0 Safe Web Browsing for Children and Teenagers - made this browser for the enjoyment, enrichment and freedom of autistic children. They can touch it, play it, interact with it, and experience independence through the program.
On the browser, children will interact directly with games and activities that cater specifically to those who display characteristics of autism spectrum disorders, such as impairments in social interaction, impairments in communication, restricted interest and repetitive behavior. Zac has been an effective tool for children with low, medium and high functioning autism, the company claims.
The Zac Browser provides a parent or caregiver forum to enable them to learn from experiences, share human stories and be connected with others who intimately understand their situations. The browser also provides a ‘useful links’ area to guide them to important commercial websites that may enhance their child’s quality of life.
8 Easy Firefox Tweaks for Super Fast Web Browsing http://tinyurl.com/2kyfyo 8 Easy Firefox Tweaks for Super Fast Web Browsing
The KidZui browser http://www.kidzui.com/ The KidZui browser was designed to offer kids the same expansive experience adults have on the web. KidZui brought together a team of over 200 teachers and/or parents to scour the web in search of the best content for kids. The founders engaged their kids, nieces and nephews to assess the initial product; they were later joined by over 5,000 other curious young beta-testers and their parents.
Rather than filter the Internet, KidZui’s founders built an entirely new one – customized for kids. Instead of reducing, KidZui expands. There are already over 500,000 websites, pictures and videos in KidZui, all painstakingly reviewed by caring teachers and parents just like you. And the process continues 24/7 with new kid-friendly content added daily.

Torpark Browser http://torpark.nfshost.com/index.php Torpark Browser

Run Torpark.exe and it will launch a Tor circuit connection, which creates an encrypted tunnel from your computer indirectly to a Tor exit computer, allowing you to surf the internet anonymously. How much does Torpark cost? IT'S FREE.
Torpark is in English by default, but includes language packs for Arabic, German, French, and Simplified Chinese. There are about 35 unique language packs available for Torpark, and a bookmark is included in Torpark to quickly allow you to add any of these languages.

Webwide takes a normal web page and can display it in different ways -
simplified text (including setting your own style, size etc.) or using
symbols, as well as speaking the text sentence by sentence highlighting
the currently spoken word (which is more that Texthelp's Browsealoud).
