The second Beta of Opera Software's next browser has been released, Beta 2 attempts to address the increasing threat of phishing attacks. "In this Beta, the browser displays security information inside the address bar, located next to the padlock icon that indicates the level of security present on a site." Users in our Software Forum take a look at the many changes since Beta 1. The new Beta is available for download here.

Anti Phishing for other browsers

There's already some pretty good anti-phishing stuff for firefox and other browsers.

A while back, somebody posted a really handy URL verify script for firefox. It works well.

This might be interesting to try out, however. (Opera that is)

Re: Anti Phishing for other browsers

I just installed it right on top of the Opera 75 folder. It set up nicely. I was wondering if Opera would let us upgrade or make us pay? Might just have to run the Beta in the future as I have no ad bar with the Beta.

Hey, go to serials.ws for the registration number, then when the final version comes out use the serial number from this site. It works on my computer.

Exactly what I was thinking

As soon as I read the news bit I thought about a return authorization for browsers. Exactly what the first poster posted. I just was unaware it existed.. lol.

I want to try it again but..

The cookie handling in the older versions I tried was irritating. In firefox, I set it to allow all cookies except third party. I go back and delete the ad ones later, I select each one while keeping ctrl down and delete them all with one button. all I have to do is check the box that says "don't allow deleted cookies to come in again" and I don't see them again.

With Opera, I have to right click the cookie, deselect two to three checkboxes, then delete it manually because I can't select several at once(and even if I could, I can't tell several at once not to come in again).

If I tell it not to allow third party, I can't login to dmusic.com. If I tell it to allow third party, I get tons of ad cookies. If I tell it to ask me about them, I get bombarded with every site I go to, at least 2x as much as firefox. Instead of there being a simple 'deny' or 'accept', they have an entire menu of options dedicated to dealing with one cookie.

Hopefully this is improved with this new beta, I will try it later.

Re: Beta 2

Yeah Opera is a nice little browser but me being a FireFox Person I have to say that Opera is a little bit faster than FireFox. But I Sill like FireFox.
