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..

BlockIt is for blocking scripts...i.e.: JavaScript, AFAICS. Where in
the documentation does it mention blocking Java, which NoScript claims
to do? I don't see it mentioned anywhere in your link.

Regardless, as Jackson stated, version 10.5x of Opera removed the
interface option to disable Java....it was there in earlier versions abd
should not have been removed. There is an apparent effort by the devs
to dumb down the user interface in emulation of Windows dumbing down in
Vista and Seven.

Agreed! However you forgot to mention they (like the politicians) claim
these are 'improvements' and are for 'our good'! (yeah right)
