If you are into SEO (Search Engine Optimization) industry then “SEO for Firefox” add-on should be familiar for you. However, what about Opera users?
Fortunately, White Shadow managed to create one for Opera as well which is called “SEO for Opera”.
What does it do?
SEO for Opera adds a lot of useful market research information to Google/Yahoo search results, including the following for each result:
- PR: Google PageRank. I’m sure you know what this is.
