I'll bite.
NoScript: disable scripting and enable it selectively using the F12 "site preferences" shortcut.
AdBlockPlus: You can get various urlfilter.ini if you really want to. I really dont need this, just block the most annoying ones with right-click:block_content. Some sites need the "normal" advertising, and once you block the top-10, you don't have much to complain about. Anyway, I will give you that point.
Flashblock: Here. Myself I just "enable plugins" (F12 again) on sites I want. *And* you can block the flash content with the normal "block content" too.
Firebug: Meh. Have you worked with dragon fly?
RefControl: Hmpf. F12, disable "send referrer information". Maybe it is just me, but I never needed to spoof referrers.

And yes, I use every one of these extensions on firefox, because it is not there as default. And some more. In a *memory-limited VM* just so it does not goes haywire and swaps the hell out of my current apps to oblivion. Lucky me.

Unless your WinMo phone has very little RAM (less than 50MB free on bootup), you should be a be able to run Opera Mobile. They offer it for free now on their site.

Speaking of which, Opera has released Opera 10.60 RC2 today: http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/show.dml/13348892

Looks like firefox is going to have to keep playing catch up

Show me the equivalent tool of about:config in Opera, it just doesn't exist.

You really shouldn't speak on subjects you clearly have no knowledge about. The equivalent in Opera is opera:config and it has extensive amounts of settings you can change.

And because it isn't open source you don't have that customization either.

Yes because the average user is modifying the Firefox source code on a regular basis. Oh wait...

Keep up on the times, Opera already supports Theora. http://my.opera.com/haavard/blog/2007/04/17/try-opera-with-native-theora-video-support

Be sure to report bugs to their Desktop Team, the devs there are crazy when it comes to releasing builds (seen a few weekend releases). From my experience, they were able to solve my issues within 2-3 builds (a work week, give or take), whereas my Firefox bug reports take months (not to mention my pet peeve - Aptana bugtracker).

They're currently preparing the next big version (10.60), so I believe they would be interested in fixing any important problem.

Opera State of the Mobile Web, November 2009, focusing on Africa. And just by glancing at lists of top mobile phones in listed places - there's at least one, sometimes few "pure" smartphone types on most. Where there aren't any, some of "feature phones" are pretty close anyway (many with multitasking BTW, something some of the "smartphones" can't do)

Similarly in Southeast Asia, or Latin America

Have you ever seen a flash-based player that uses filters?

Sure I have.
Oh, Flash. Nevermind, then.

Just like Opera! I think that I'll stick with Firefox and Chrome.

I like Safari, but like Chrome, I only use it as a secondary browser for now. Opera and Firefox are still my main browsers.

Just like Opera! I think that I'll stick with Firefox and Chrome.

You seem to be missing the point: The fact that UA spoofing works is generally proof of either laziness or malice. Laziness is certainly common enough(remember the good old days when large numbers of sites would shriek for IE; but render just fine if FF was set to IE's UA string?); but malice also occurs from time to time(The old Opera/MSN story, for instance).

In this case, the fact that Apple is just UA sniffing is shabby at best. Just checking for feature support isn't rocket surgery. Neither would be sending the least interesting summer intern to test the demos on a couple of other browsers that are likely to work and accepting those UAs as well. The fact that their "HTML5 demo" is just "transparent Safari propaganda" isn't illegal or anything; but talking up "web standards" and then hardcoding your demo to only work with your browser doesn't exactly scream "intellectual honesty"...

Unlike the previous post claiming this (Introducing Opera Face Gestures) as prior art, yours actually precedes Bezos' filing date by 44 days (Oct. 27, 2008 vs. Dec. 10, 2008).

Introducing Opera Face Gestures

Maybe the list might help some people...

Opera had sidebar since...a long, long time; one if its defining features (might be different than what you're used to of course). Likewise synchronization, working for a bit more than just bookmarks; and across all Opera browsers (also Mobile; or Mini, the one for j2me phones) plus accessible via webpage. It has also integrated dev tools.

Color tabs - no (afaik... ;) ). However, it has few nice ways of dealing with large number of tabs that you should know of. Tab bar can work basically spatially after one change in prefs; there's "Window" menu (off by default in recent builds, but can be enabled in prefs / works just as well as ever) which lists all open tabs without the need for scrolling the menu if there's too many of them (it's a nested menu); a treeview of all open tabs in sidebar...with search; and "hold down right mouse button and move scrollwheel", that's sort of an overlay list presenting tabs in the sequence depending on "last viewed", quite useful.

I'll be completely honest, I don't care. It isn't Free Software. Until that changes, I'd rather use w3m than touch it.

Where the fuck have you been for the past 5 years? Of course Opera is free.
http://www.opera.com/press/releases/2005/09/20/

Generally when someone refers to "Free Software" they mean free as in freedom (libre), not free as in beer (gratis). Wikipedia. In that regards, Opera is free (zero cost) but not Free (users have the right to have and modify the source code as they see fit). In that sense, GP is right that Opera is not Free Software.

Oh please oh please can we PLEASE stop spreading this nonsense that FF ever innovated anything?
Just what are you claiming Mozilla innovated? Whatever you *think* they innovated,
Compare with this

It just feels weird to use as an example a review of Opera Mini made on iPhone; from quickly looking at this list there is some number of mobile phones which cost 60-70 bucks, without contract, and...give essentially the same functionality with Opera Mini.

And a review which forgets that you don't have to use Mini for few sites where privacy is of any importance; and that you already trust many parties...

Opera currently supports only Ogg Theora. And it's apparently built-in, as you'd expect for "only support", rather than using the OS. That's a shame.. they are trying to dictate user choice. They do mention that Firefox and Chrome also support Theora... Chrome offering the choice, though I don't know hoe much choice.

The Opera folks also point out that (on the Mac anyway, probably the PC too), Safari is actually doing the right thing. Despite all of Steve Jobs yaking about H.264. Safari uses the Quicktime subsystem to decode the tag. So, if you install the Quicktime CODEC for Ogg Theora, it'll play in Safari. Go here: http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/

A telling thing is Opera's informative introduction to HTML5 video:
http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/everything-you-need-to-know-about-html5-video-and-audio/

You may notice that this has actually made playing video more complex than it was when if was Flash or "just embed a file".

Opera already has a bunch of online services grouped together as "My Opera" - some browser-tied, such as server-side bookmarks & history with sync, or Opera Turbo; and some generic ones, such as blogs. Given that Opera has a built-in email client, it would make some sense for them to also provide an email service to pair with that (so if you start Opera and click "e-mail", it'd offer you to create an Opera account if you don't already have one).

As for "why" in a sense of how they will make money on that - this might give a clue.

H.264 is not supported by Firefox so you do need to encode videos again in Ogg Theora if you want to support HTML5 video in Firefox.

Looking at it the other way around, Safari doesn't support the open codec so you need to use H.264 to support Safari (and IE9, when that comes out).

Gee, I wonder why I can watch this on my Mac with Safari without a problem then. Must be doing something wrong. Ahh, the miracles of Quicktime with the right codec http://xiph.org/quicktime/

Please read this comment first : http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=463891&t=1272486751&page=1#comment4657981 and the forum secondly, I appreciate your enthusiasm. However, before you recommend something to someone, find out if their device can support it. Really it's my fault for thinking that I could use 10 on my phone without thinking .... Hmmm is it supported?!...... But you'll learn to set expectations.... hopefully.

I would prefer to use firefox on my phone, but i'm stuck with opera mobile 9.

Where have you been? Opera Mobile 10 for WinMo is out!

I love it!

Opera Face Gestures

I've noticed two things with 3D that irritate me, and they seem to be everywhere.

• Jagged/flat/sharp edges on objects, making things look like they were cut from paper and placed on the screen. They're the reason why I prefer the graphics of Doom to the graphics of Quake, things just looked more realistic in Doom. Not just straight lines, but they're the worst at the moment. This might be some sort of aliasing effect, but I'm not quite sure how to define it more precisely.
• Using rectilinear projections, rather than some other projection that better matches human vision. Straight lines don't actually look straight when you see them through a lens. Have a look at Figure 5 on this page. I only consciously realised that this was a problem for me after reading that write-up.

Cretin much?

100m REAL users counted by update and browser.js requestions..

Vs Firefox's fake "Downloads" count of 400m

http://www.opera.com/press/releases/2010/04/12/

It's QT native. You can use Fanboy's list. You can use greasemonkey scripts.

This would be like making plugins for IE to make it suck less when you could just switch to Firefox... ...and again use many plugins to make it suck less.

Or you could just install Opera and you're good to go.

they need to ensure that the DirectShow output works with the layers/svg/smil infrastructure as well as DirectWrite/Direct2D on Windows 7 -- e.g. does having a rotating, scaling video in a smil/svg file work;

Yup, it's a technical challenge. But don't tell me it's a blocker, as other browsers are already using this approach.

It's not even a challenge. In both GStreamer and DirectShow, the codec just outputs an image (usually YUV). The browser can scale/rotate/resize it as it sees fit. Yes, those frameworks also offer facilities for hardware-accelerated rendering of those images, but it doesn't have to be used (or it can only be used when image isn't rotated or partially obscured, etc).

Heck, Opera already does it with GStreamer - cross-platform, and they support arbitrary rotation/translation/scaling of page elements or the entire page, including HTML5 video. You can see for yourself if you download Opera, go to any HTML5 video demo page (you'll need Theora-based ones, sine Opera doesn't come with H.264) - e.g. this will do - and then type the following in URL textbox:

javascript:void(document.body.style.OTransform='rotate(-45deg)')

There's a straightforward way around security concerns - sandboxing (which is already avaliable on iPhone OS) together with Appstore admission process (which can easily make sure that the apps to which it might apply use sandboxing properly). Don't kid yourself why Apple put that limitation (and has taken it much further recently)

And what's with Facebook? It's consistently among the top pages viewed under Opera Mini... ( http://www.opera.com/smw/ )

There is a setting in Opera Mini for iPhone that lets you render the web pages in "Mobile view". I have never used Opera Mobile, but perhaps that is the same thing?

Nope - mobile view is simply a way of viewing the pages ( http://www.opera.com/mobile/help/faq/ ). Opera Mobile is a completely different browser, and with more features, and is a full browser rather than using server side processing.

Yes, I don't think it's controversial to say it's next to useless for expensive phones - I've never had to use it on my 5800. But those of us who have smart phones rather than the locked down Iphone can happily use Opera Mobile instead; and this review misses that Opera Mini's main purpose is to bring a better browsing experience to all phones, even the cheap low end ones that don't have a good browser as standard. Why not simply review "Opera Mini" instead of making it only "For Iphone"?

Not really. The iPhone version looks like it's pretty much a platform-customized version of Opera Mobile with client-side support removed; the interface of Opera Mini on the iPhone and Opera Mobile on other platforms looks nearly identical.

Actually, they have made the UI for Mini and Mobile really close on all platforms in recent versions, if you look at most up-to-date Mini versions (which are betas for some platforms, including J2ME and Android). Judging by screenshots of the iPhone version, it looks pretty much identical to the Mini (not Mobile!) that I have for Android.

Proof pics:

- Opera Mini on iPhone
- Opera Mini on Android

Try to find a difference...

Consider also that Opera Mini is a Java app, which the iPhone does't support.

Opera Mini is not really a single app, and never was even before iPhone release. Yeah, it's Java for both J2ME and Android, but those two have vastly different UI APIs, so there's no real portability there - and Opera Mini client is by and large just UI (since all HTML parsing etc happens on the servers) - so those are likely completely different user bases (maybe with some shared code that handles communication with the servers). Furthermore, Opera Mini for Windows Mobile (which has been around for a while) is not a Java application at all. No idea about BlackBerry version.

In general, it seems that they try to use the native development tools for every platform, but do make the UI look identical on all platforms.

In other news, I'm really curious what's in this for Opera--not only are they developing a browser and giving it away, they've got to run the servers that process the content that feeds the browser. Why?

This may hint at their reasons.

After almost a month!

Mentioning Opera would be at the least very tactful in the context of this discussion. They kickstarted current HTML video tag effort, they are pushing since the beginning an open format
http://my.opera.com/haavard/blog/2007/03/05/1

BTW, Opera did have MDI since its first version in 1994, that's not so far from tabbed UI (heck, current "tabbed one" in Opera is still quite disctinct from other browsers - still MDI, just with always visible (not only in menu, which is still there) buttons for each document). Still might count that Opera pushed it / I'm sure one could find quite a few other things...

How's that for timing? Opera approved.

I'm curious to know what browser do you use, since both Opera and Chrome support skins out of the box.

And their programmers definitively have the incentive of paychecks, so I don't get that OSS objection.

Perhaps they can copy something from Opera, they had technology like this 3 years ago ;)
http://my.opera.com/timjoh/blog/2007/11/13/taking-the-canvas-to-another-dimension

I expect Java to gain ground again as developers create apps for Android phones.

Although the bare-bones Nexus One hasn't sold in huge numbers, HTC have already produced several superb Android-based alternatives, such as the Legend and the Desire. If/when Android becomes the commonplace operating system in the smartphone market, this will lead to a rise in Java development.

In fact, to join in with the recent Apple-bashing (which I whole-heartedly agree with), I'd suggest that mobile app development will move away from the iPhone, in favour of Android phones. When you are investing time and money in app development, there is simply more certainty in developing apps that will live or die on their merits, as opposed to Apple's 'approval' process.

It is now over 2 weeks since Opera Mini was submitted to Apple for approval:

Opera had version 10.52.3344 out by then (or rather, 10.52.xxx based builds)... & certainly NOT Opera vesion 9.23, which you cited above & it's many years out of date no less, nor your other "source", which you found FINALLY, which lists Opera 10.50... YET AGAIN, OUT OF DATE & STALE FROM YOU + "YOUR SOURCES"

Pretty simple/cut & dried... YOU LOSE!

"LOL, and THE FACT THAT FIREFOX ALREADY HAD version 3.6.2 out already by the time this article was put up on slashdot as well?" - by clone53421 (1310749) on Monday April 05, @12:45PM (#31735520)

AND, what did the news poster TIMOTHY WRITE? Well, ok, another quote of proof:

"Note: the warning (from the Federal Office for Information Security) is provisional, and should be rendered moot by the release later this month of 3.6.2. - Posted by timothy on Tuesday March 23, @02:51AM

Note the BOLD part? FF didn't release a fix on time, & it came later on... simple!

(Learn to READ man, & make sure your information ISN'T STALE (which, it was... too bad for you!))

Opera 10.51 was out already -> http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/

On a roll: Opera 10.51 for Windows released

By Haavard. Monday, 22. March 2010, 10:00:00

On March 22nd in fact - WHICH PREDATES THIS ARTICLE ON SLASHDOT NO LESS, because this news was posted on /. on March 23rd (& a firefox fix didn't issue until the next day)...

----

(So much for your "current information" from your "SECURITY COMPANY", eh? Too bad it was STALE ALREADY, lol!)... YOU? YOU LOSE! apk

Ah - As-per-usual? "too, Too, TOO EASY" for me to blow you away... with documented facts, dates, & reputable sources but above ALL else? With ease!

"It's not like this is the first time that a Slashdot summary is wrong. But YOU claimed that it was 100% accurate without checking up the sources, LOL, and now you are trying to blame it on Timothy when YOU WERE THE ONE WHO IS WRONG?" - by clone53421 (1310749) on Monday April 05, @01:51PM (#31736820)

Now YOU are trying to say Timothy & trying to say slashdot are "WRONG"... "yea, ok" (sarcasm/not).

However? Perhaps they are, & misinformed us all? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt - but, your "security company info" you noted? YOUR SECURITY COMPANY DATA WAS/IS DEFINTELY OUT OF DATE/STALE, AS OF THE DATE OF THIS NEWS ON SLASHDOT - NO QUESTIONS ASKED!

(After all - Opera had 10.51 out before this news here even came out the door, see the excerpt above on its release date... you cannot change the fact you messed up largely, despite your b.s./fud/misinformation you constantly use, along with name tossing, libel, profanity, in constant "streams" from you!)

APK

P.S.=> Better luck next time, & realize this: YOU PERSONALLY NEVER HAD THE INFORMATION, OR INTELLECT, TO GET THE "BETTER OF ME"... lol! apk
