Reason #4: Reload Every…

By right clicking anywhere on a page and choosing Reload Every, then an increment of time, Opera will automatically refresh that page every X amount of time. This can be great for stock market sites, web-based email clients (to automatically notify you when you have new mail), forums, frequently updated news sites, etc.

I recently used the feature during Steve Job’s Keynote speech when he released the PowerMac G5. I logged into a low-traffic mac forum that was covering the event, and set Opera to refresh the page every 15 seconds. This way I could keep up with the announcements in close to real time, without having to watch the choppy quicktime stream or bog down one of the major mac news sites.
