I have never had to disable JavaScript only enable per site plug-ins.

Bitcoin client is running on my PC with a balance of 5 BTC.  Also all

my passwords are saved in the Opera Password Manager. If you can

get through Opera browser's security and take them be my guest.

I'm a big fan of Opera, but it's not a panacea for CSRF or whatever. You do have to turn off Javascript and plug-ins for those security benefits, and Firefox and Chrome give you similar functionality (using the add-on NoScript, in the case of Firefox).

I am going to check out the newest Opera, might as well have a fourth browser on my computer.

I think Chrome is a dumbed down Opera knock-off but it looks good.

If a browser lets you disable all plug-ins and EASILY enable some or

all plug-ins for specific websites than I think it is pretty secure.

Opera is the only one I have seen that does this.  I have all four major

browsers on my system right now.  There maybe a add-on for Firefox that

accomplishes this but I am not sure.

How would you compare the newest Opera to the latest offerings from other Browsers?   Chrome has been pretty consistent with their look and feel and managing to sneak in upgrades.  I see Firefox might be taking that approach with this latest release, and though I have it, it still feels slow/clunky.

I do not think I have used Opera since forever ago, so they are still better than IE?  That is good, but how are they against the other browsers?
