Get Opera 3

The latest versions of Internet Explorer and Firefox on Windows and (in the case of Firefox) Unix systems are vulnerable to attacks that could reveal the contents of sensitive files residing on a victim’s hard drives.

The vulnerability resides in the functionality that allows the browsers to upload files to a remote server. It requires a victim to visit a booby-trapped website and enter text with certain characters in a comment interface or other input field.

Opera.

    Does Opera have a way of synching my Google favorites between computers?

    I don’t know about Google favorites; I don’t use third-party stuff. But you can export Opera bookmarks, Opera email contacts, and Opera mail, and import them on another computer.

    Heck, if you dig deep enough, you don’t even have to export the mail. You can just move the mail file. That’s what I did when I rebuilt the laptop.

    I saved my /home/frankbell folder to the server, then copied the /home/frankbell/.[hidden files] that I wanted into the rebuilt laptop.

    (aside to Phillybits–Opera has depths you will not imagine–try typing opera:config into the address bar and see what options it gives to you).

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
