Until Firefox can duplicate what Opera has done with Workspaces, I’ll have to remain on the closed-source browser. But Workspaces isn’t the feature I enjoy most on Opera. There’s another feature that I have been using lately that makes viewing news very simple. What I like most about Opera Personal News is that I can cobble together the sources I want and, in a single window, scroll through all the headlines from those sources and click to view the articles I want. This keeps me from having to open site after site to view the news I want or need. It’s all about convenience, and it does a great job of it. Also: How to use Opera’s new Pinboard feature (and why you should) One thing to keep in mind is that not every news source is available to Opera Personal News. Even so, it has a large collection of news to select from. In fact, within about 5 minutes, I had a collection of 22 news sources to view. It’s that simple and convenient. Let me show you how to access the Opera Personal News feature and how to add sources, so you can view only the news you want from a single point of entry.
What is the Opera Personal News feature and how do you use it?
Requirements
The only thing you’ll need for this is a running instance of the Opera web browser. That’s it. Let’s read some news.
Reading your news
Once you’ve added all the sources you desire, click “My sources” in the left pane to reveal all of the news items associated with your saved sources. Also: Opera Workspaces is tab management perfection For example, if you want to add tech news sources, type “technology” in the search field and, from the resulting list, click to add any and all sources you want. Find something you want to read and click on it to open a new tab showing the article in question. And that’s all there is to using the Opera Personal News feature. You can even add ZDNET as a source, so you can quickly see what’s been published on the site. Also: How to use the Opera VPN (and why you should) I’ve been using the Opera Personal News feature daily for some time, and it’s both saved me time and ensured that I don’t miss all the news that’s worth reading.
