Selecting links in opera!

Just a quick question. While using opera in order to select any link I have to dubble tap the browser to zoom inorder to select a link? Is this how the browser works or is there a setting that could change that. I wanna be able to select a link without the zoom.

You could probably do it with the stylus, but the links are so small that you would most likely accidentally tap the wrong one. That is why it is advised to zoom in. I personally use the zoom bar, it gives you more control of the zoom.

I'm pretty sure that even with the stylus, at most you can only highlight the link. In order to select a link you have to zoom.

That's part of why I use Skyfire instead of Opera.

Go to opera:config in the address bar. Find the Link section, then change the setting for "Frame" from 0 to 1. Now Opera will draw a frame around links, and they are easier to click with a finger without zooming. CSS on sites can override this, but it works well for the most part.
