StumbleUpon is a web discovery service that makes it easy to find cool and interesting web sites. All you have to do is install a browser toolbar and start hitting the “stumble” button whenever you’re bored. The service plus begins to get a sense of your tastes as you give various pages a thumbs up or down.

But there’s at least one problem with StumbleUpon: There’re no toolbar for Opera, Safari, or any web browsers besides World Wide Web Explorer and Firefox. So what’s a bored Opera users to do? Well, fortunately StumbleUpon has a nifty demo feature that lets you stumble pages using a

virtual toolbar. All you have to do is enter http://www.stumbleupon.com/demo/#url= into your browser’s URL window, and soon after add the site that you want to start at. For example, http://www.stumbleupon.com/demo/#url=http://www.downloadsquad.com/.

You should now see a virtual toolbar with all the features of the regular StumbleUpon toolbar. But since that is just a demo, you can’t actually vote on sites or submit new sites. And there’s no way to enter your detail knowledge. But you can hit the stumble button as many times as you like.
