Some notes on the Opera browser.

 

It connects to alot of stuff automatically:

 

Before I put my fingers to the keyboard Opera automatically tries to connect to:

Even if these are innocent connections, I don't want the browser connecting to things that I don't know about. Connections without my knowledge annoy me.

 

2) Opera Crashes when I delete private data and it is not connected to the internet. That is, when my machine is connected to the net, Opera deletes private data fine (Tools > delete private data) When my machine is not connetted to the net, Opera barfs when I try to delete private data. Why should the software do this?

 

3) Cannot disable software updates. Even when I disable updates (Preferences > Security > advanced > disable udates tab) Opera still calls home.

 

4) I like the book mark search and the site by site preferences tab that lets me disable the java monster.
