If you'd like to write articles about them, please do so, then edit this article with links to those articles. If you are using the Opera browser, the top area appears like this: As indicated by the blue arrow in the uppermost left of this image, Opera has a big red letter "O" on the top left corner of the title bar.

It should also have three buttons in the center just below the white web site address bar that say "Speed Dial", "Stash", and "Discover" respectively. The three middle buttons see the blue box in the middle also show four blue arrows pointing downward indicating the pages you have placed into your "Speed Dial" area in small previews. Resetting the options in Opera can change this. Options can always be modified to suit your own needs.

Pages on the "Stash" button can be "dragged and dropped" to rearrange the order of them in the "Stash" view. The blue arrow pointing to the right is pointing to a circled " hourglass " icon and if you hover your mouse over the gray gear after clicking on the "Stash" button, wait a few seconds and a text box should open were you can perform a search using whatever "Search Engine" you use.

When you're on a regular web page, the red heart in the top right corner of the Opera browser is a neat little icon that shows the page you are on has been bookmarked, like www. If it's empty it means it hasn't been bookmarked yet.

Click the empty heart and it will turn red , so you now you know it has been saved it to your bookmarks! If you are using the "Google Chrome" browser then the title bar looks like the image above. There is no logo or icon in the top left corner, but look at "golden star" on the right.

That's the Google Chrome bookmark indicator. Again, the page is saved in the browser for easy access later. You may see the star to appear hollow. If the star is hollow instead of yellow or gold then it simply means the page has not been bookmarked.

If it's a gold or yellow star the page has been bookmarked! Click the star to make it yellow or gold in Google Chrome to bookmark the page or edit its location in Google Chrome's "Bookmarks Manager". Bookmarks can be managed anytime from the pop-up window when you bookmark pages or working with the Google Chrome bookmark folder file. If you are using the "Mozilla Firefox" browser then the title bar looks like this. Again, there is no logo or icon in the top left corner but the back and forward buttons will have circles around them and are next to a tiny gray "globe" image.

The gray "globe" is simply an indicator of the website's identity credentials and isn't much to worry about. If it's not gray then it's not a good idea to use the website without further investigation, unless you are sure you can "trust it". Read this wikiHow article to find out how to identify trustworthy informational websites.

The big round gray arrow with the circle around it, pointing to the right, is the "back" button. You can go back to the last page your were on after you've visited at least one other page but you can also "go forward" if the arrow is right facing.

It will work once you've gone back by using the "back" button from before. A blue arrow in the picture points to a red rectangular box marking the area of the browser's navigational utilities that you may use to "surf".

Simply hover your mouse over the four icons in Mozilla Firefox that are shown by the red box in the image above to see the capabilities of all the utility features Firefox makes easily accessible and handy right in the browser! If you are using the "Internet Explorer" browser the title bar area should look a lot like this picture. It should have a blue, lower-case letter e with a gold circle through it. It should be seen in the top left corner with round blue "back and forth" buttons used to "navigate" or "surf" the web.

The previous picture also shows control buttons. Use those to switch its "Compatibility View" so that if you're on an older website that has difficulty displaying the content, a click of this button might help the browser "see" what it says. The "refresh" buttons also known as "reload" buttons are the little green buttons in Internet Explorer that look like they have two little arrows going around see inside the gold rectangular box in the picture above , then there is the little red x within the gold box drawing on the picture above.

It causes the page to stop loading, or "downloading" as the case may be. The blue question mark over to the right circled in gold will be used later to find the Internet Explorer's version number so be sure to remember where it is. That's because it's the "Help" button icon for Internet Explorer! Along the very top of the title bar area, look for the words "Internet Explorer". If you are using the "Apple Safari" browser the title bar should have a round blue compass icon in the top left corner.

It's indicated there with a green circle and green arrow pointing to it. It's in the top left corner of the title bar area. Do you see it? The green arrow in the picture, pointing to the right uppermost corner of the top area of this browser, shows "shortcut icons" for tools you can use to control Apple Safari.
