    Opera's script blocking capabilities do not even BEGIN to compare with NoScript

  25. Re:...And one generation behind on HTML5 on Firefox 4 Will Be One Generation Ahead · · Score: 1

    In recent years I use Opera, FF and Chrome at the same time, for different sites.

    Your statement about NoScript and AdBlock is not well founded. Yes, you will not find plugins with such names for Opera. That is because this functionality in bundled within Opera - just works a bit differently (it happened to be in Opera way before Mozilla provided it).

    To turn off scripts of plugins just press F12 and check needed options.

    To block execution of scripts on selected site, right click on the page (page itself, not on flash content or other plugins) and go into site preferences. you could set whether use javascript, plugins, sounds and cookies for that page.

    As for blocking ads - right click on the page and go into "block content".

    (excuse me it the labels are named differently, I use localised version).

    The functionality that I miss in Opera is FF plugin called Foxtrick used for Hattick game.

    I'm not advocate for Opera, as there are things that irritate me: memory use like hog, 10.X works actually slower than 7.X and 8.X.
