M$ tools produce code that seems to us cynics to be designed to foul
up Opera.

Agreed. I like it.

They are relentless in destroying adversaries and will continue, one
way or another (see tools comment above).

It is MUCH better, but nothing is perfect - still wise to be careful.
MJ> Any Opera users want to discuss security concerns?
There is an active users list: opera-users@xxxxxxxxx
Opera participates in the list too. It is rather refreshing to see a
company allow public exposure of warts and not try to squelch it.
When privacy concerns came up re the ad-supported version, Opera told
users EVERY byte of info that was sent back and forth from the
browser, and to which advertisers.
So far, an ethical, open, and nice company to do business with.
[I can't stand it - I just have to say it is the opposite of M$. :-)]
