Opera

[Skybird]

Due to actual major security breaches in Explorer, I have started to test Opera today. I checked the obvious setting-options, and hope I have tightend them up.

Anything vital I should know about Opera and security? Not comfort and handling - security. I like my browsers being tightened up, closed-doors, no cookies, no Java, no histories, no caches, no auto-complete etc. etc. I am irritated that I find no options for example to manipulate Active-X and the like (the settings you find in Explorer, there are so many that you can enjoy to shut down...).

I also am not sure if I have correctly managed to get Opera run in Sandboxie - since Sandboxie did not allow any options regarding it (it'S the free version I am using, I have just started to test it). I have the index-frame around Opera so Sandboxie seems to work. Will it delete Opera'S data artifacts when shutting down? It did so with Explorer for sure.

CCleaner also has not added but replaced deletion options for Explorer with those for Opera. In the settings of the first tab, I find Opera entries to select now, no Explorer settings. But Explorer is still installed and I occasionally will use it, maybe even return to it once the current crisis is over.

Please, no Firefox or Chrome comments here. I do not use them and I do not like them. That's all to say about it. My questions for info do not get answered by refering me to another browser. Thanks.
