Surely, dear reader, during your work at the computer I had occasion to view pages on the World Wide Web using special programs.
These applications, called browsers, are a kind of intermediaries between Internet resources and humans. You can use the analogy in which the global network is represented by the sea, boundless and deep; browser - a boat swaying on the waves; Well, a man - a captain and a sailor in one person. Such a comparison allows dispelling the myth of some beginners, in whose mind the browser and the Internet are one and the same. Do not confuse these terms.
Like boats, browsers, despite the similarities in how they work, are different. Some are more convenient for the user, others work faster with the network, while others can boast of versatility, claiming to be the Golden Mean. Here are the names of some of them that have deservedly gained popularity among millions of users all over the world: Opera (Opera), Chrome (Google Chrome), Firefox (Fox), Internet Explorer (Explorer). Surely, at least one of them is your choice at present. You can’t say which browser is better - it all depends on the preferences of the person himself, as, in principle, in everything else.
Developers strive for as many users as possible to prefer their software solution, offering new features. One of them is an express panel. This function turned out to be so convenient and in demand that it often starts by default. The express panel is undoubtedly a step of browsers towards people. True, the implementation is slightly different. For example, the Opera express panel was one of the first to appear, so during the testing and running-in the developers managed to take into account the basic wishes of users. But first things first.
The express panel replaced the list of bookmarks, which, frankly, was not very convenient. According to statistics, each visitor to the global web comes to some specific pages more often than others. For example, one person is used to opening a page with weather, news, financial reviews every time you launch the browser; another wants to keep abreast of technical innovations; the third thirsts for communication on social networks and checks mail through the site. The express panel is a customizable list of these most demanded resources displayed in the main browser window immediately after launch. One click - and the weather site, mail or news opens. Anything! Thus, the express panel eliminates the need to type the path to the resource in the address bar .
Many major browsers have acquired this opportunity, except, perhaps, for Chrome. The "native" implementation, frankly, is not too convenient. However, the Chrome express panel can be installed as an extension: for example, by downloading from the store and installing the version of Speed Dial you like, you can add this function to the browser. Such is the manual mode. But this slight inconvenience is more than offset by subsequent work with the resources of the
global network.In Opera, you must press Ctrl + F12 and in the window "At Startup" specify "Express Panel". After that, by clicking on any square of the screen, you can register the address to the desired site. Well, the gear icon in the upper corner allows you to customize the display panel "for yourself." That's all.
