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. See Java setting in Opera 10.51 is gone http://my.opera.com/community/forums....dml?id=482051 I sometimes need java for my own sites but otherwise it is an totally unacceptable privacy hole. |

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. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 A+ http://dts-l.net/ |
