I have successfully installed the latest version of Opera
10.52 on Windows 98 Second Edition even though the download
calls for Windows 2000 or greater to run. I wanted to let
everyone know because it is nice to have a browser that
will run in windows 98 SE and that is currently supported.


Unfortuntely for me, the inability to selectively turn java
off and on as you could before is complete show stopper.

I sometimes need java for my own sites but otherwise it is an
totally unacceptable privacy hole.


You might need to spend a little more time on the forums...

BlockIt, the User Javascript answer to NoScript
http://my.opera.com/community/forums....dml?id=241208
download and 2 pages of info which you should read.. also information on
the Unite version...

User guide to using BlockIt

Might want the mentioned adblocker and a few others so look around..
javascript IS used within the browser itself, as well as css and other
"scripting"; lots of configuration potentials..
