What is the Opera Personal news feature and how do you use it?

I mostly use Opera on my desktop. Although I would love to make Firefox my default, it's just so hard to pull myself away from the best tab management on the planet that is found in Opera. 

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 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.

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 five 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.

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.

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, along with all of your other sources.

I've been using the Opera Personal news feature daily for some time, and it's not only saved me time but also ensured I don't miss all the news that's worth reading.
