Followed by Speed up Firefox articles, here are some tips by Sid on how you can increase Opera’s performance.
Delete private data : Go to Tools and click on Delete private data.Next click on details and check the all the boxes except Delete cookies and Clear all wand passwords.
Blocking flash images: Just right click on the flash image and block it for a particular web page but if you want to permanently switch off the flash view of that web site then go to Tools –> Preferences –>Advanced –> Blocked content
Minimize effect – Go to tools and then Appearance,a dialog box opens.Click on the toolbar tab an uncheck the options which you use rarely.Turn off the progress bar or make it simple.
No icons and favicons – Go to tools –> preference,click on advanced and then browsing.Drop the page icon menu to Show no icon.Click on Ok.Remember every small tweaks helps a lot.
Show web pages faster : Go to tools –> preference and click on advanced tab.Next click on browsing and Drop down the loading menu to Redraw Instantly.This will make Opera to get the web page faster and increases browing speed.
Uncheck Tooltip option – When you hover on Web pages which contains some links, Opera displays small tooltips that add information about the element. If you do not want to see them then go to Tools,preference and click on Advanced.Go to browsing tab to uncheck Show Tooltips.
Reduce the amount of visited pages in history : Opera keeps a track of last visited pages in the form of History. This history keeps increasing whenever you browser more and more pages.To reduce the history of webpages visited,you can go to Tools –> Preferences –> advanced –>history and reduce the addresses to 100 or 200.
Remove unnecessary plugins: To display all the plugins which are installed in the Opera browser,just go to address bar and type this opera:plugins.To deactivate unnecessary plugin you have to go to your main Opera directory and find plugin-ignore.ini.Open it and place the plugin name which you want to disable.
Accessing the hidden preference editor of Opera 9.50 beta for more features:
You have to type opera:config in your address bar or click on the given links. Remember that you must be using Opera 9.50 or later to perform these hack/tweaks.
Visited pages – Enable content search.
Address in caption – Display URL rather than page title in title bar.
Scroll is pan – Enable grab-and-scroll mode. Alternatively, hold down CTRL+ALT and then click & drag the page to enable on the fly scroll.
Application icon – Full path to the alternative icon file.See this for further reference
ISP | Id – Custom user agent substring.
Selected background – Background of text that is selected.

I’m not sure how some of these tips are supposed to help :|
Also a word of warning: the Custom Substring (ISP | Id) option can have negative effects… For example Gmail is broken with this set.
hey any problem you have in computer contact me on karan.chris@yahoo.com
how can i speed up my opera browser
I agree with WOFall. But I must go further: most of the recommended settings will have no effect on performance. Only some will do.
Also, it’s a bit old, don’t you think? And for Opera 9.50 beta… One would most likely want to tweak and tinker with Opera 10.0 alpha / previews, or at least with 9.6x.
“Blocking flash images: Just right click on the flash image and block it for a particular web page but if you want to permanently switch off the flash view of that web site then go to Tools –> Preferences –>Advanced –> Blocked content”
This is not working in Opera: you cannot block Flash content by right-clicking on it. You can only do that by right-clicking on a non-multimedia part of the page (like text or background), select “Block Content…”, then click on the Flash or image you want to block. You cannot block Flash globally in Tools –> Preferences –> Advanced –> CONTENT (this was left out by Sid) –> Blocked Content, or at least I don’t know how could one do. But you can edit site-specific preferences here, in Content –> Manage Site Preferences, and you can as well turn off Plugins for a site. Or just right-click on a site (non-multimedia part), select Edit Site Preferences, and you can do the same for the site.
There are User JavaScripts that are far better alternatives for globally disabling Flash, but being able to enable them manually by right-clicking on the wanted Flash item. Like this:
http://my.opera.com/Lex1/blog/flashblock-for-opera-9
“Reduce the amount of visited pages in history : (..) reduce the addresses to 100 or 200.”
You cannot enter the number manually, you can only choose from the pull-down menu, and the first two entries is “0” and “1000”. But you an edit the Opera.ini setting sile by entering opera:config in the address bar.
You can enter these as links to the address bar:
opera:config#UserPrefs|MaxDirectHistoryLines – set the number of remembered typed-in URLs (default is 200).
opera:config#UserPrefs|MaxGlobalHistoryLines – set the number of remembered visited URLs (which are viewable in History and changeable from Tools –> Settings –> Advanced –> History –> Addresses).
Correction:
“There are User JavaScripts that are far better alternatives for globally disabling Flash, but being able to enable them manually by >>right-clicking<>left-clicking<<
Thanks for that, Mol10!
i can solve any problem in computer if you any problem contact me at karan.chris@yahoo.com
thanx bro but I have doubt…..opera have opera:config hence someone have to try to find speed up tricks there, I think it will be helpful
