Re : What are the widgets for?

Opera, response, Opera 9 Beta, Opera 9 ...

(in response to : http://diary.e-gandalf.net/2006/04/28/what-are-the-widgets-for/)

Opera is not a web browser, Opera is an internet suite dedicated to giving you quick and easy access to information. They already have included E-Mail and RSS. The way I see it this breaks down to :

Rss = News, Updates

Web pages = Information obtained by using a Google search on a specific subject.

Widgets : How often do you find information that is right in front of you but you don't get it? More often than you think. Widgets are for those words that you don't know the meaning of, for a quick Google Image search on that animal with that weird name. A quick conversion between pounds and euros.

Widgets are here to translate information into thing that you can understand it doesn't matter if it is a word, a unit or a thing something you need some help identifying what is behind it.

UserJS I use :

www, internet, Opera, opera community ...

UserJS is an Opera feature that allows you to enhance the browser experience/a specific website by using java script. Scripts are often really small and quite easy to write. If you have not used UserJS before I highly suggest that you start with these scripts and see if you like them. Read Opera's quick introduction for more details :

autosizer http://userjs.org/scripts/browser/enhancements/enhance-blockquotes
Automaticly resizes images to fit the screen, can also be used to zoom in on a image

enhanceblockquotes http://userjs.org/scripts/browser/enhancements/enhance-blockquotes
Enhances block quotes

Pretty straight forwarded

googlesuggest http://userjs.org/scripts/site/enhancements/google-suggest
Adds Google suggest (http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en) to Google.com, quite a nice way to really show UserJs's possibilities

imagepreloader http://userjs.org/scripts/browser/enhancements/image-preloader
Loads the images in a map for quickviewing, see it as a sort of prefetcher

lastmeasure http://userjs.org/scripts/general/enhancements/block-last-measure
Blocks certain sites that you DO not want to see. Must have for everyone that visits the ''less organized'' IRC channels.

You can find loads more scripts on Opera's dedicated website : Userjs.org or try some greasemonkey scripts : greasemonkey.mozdev.org
