Scrolling Tip for Opera Browser

Scrolling Tip for Opera Browser

Here is another interesting tip I found which works in the fabulous Opera Web Browser. The application already comes with a feature called ERA (Extensible Rendering Architecture) which helps the user to get rid of horizontal scrollbars on weird or badly designed websites. However, if you are stuck with a one-way scroll mouse and have to surf sites with horizontal scrollbars, there is a tip, which can come handy.

Just get the cursor over the horizontal scrollbar and use the wheel in the mouse to slide the page horizontally instead of vertically! Mozilla Firefox does not show this kind of behavior so I believe that it is an Opera specific feature. Put your inputs in the comments!

Opera Browser:
Opera is a web browser, or a computer application for handling common internet-related tasks, including visiting web sites, sending and receiving e-mail messages, managing contacts, and online chat.

ERA in Opera:
Opera’s new Extensible Rendering Architecture (ERA) means no more horizontal scrolling and improved ability to print entire Web pages. In combination with Opera’s Zoom function, ERA also presents a compelling accessibility feature with which users can magnify Web pages dramatically and still view them without having to scroll sideways.
