My bank site now requires me to enable referral logging. Local newspaper site doesn't work at all anymore.
Been testing Kmeleon lately. Used the beta version that was posted a while back here at Neowin. All I did was unzip the file into it's own folder then created a shortcut on my desktop. It didn't go through any "installation" process, and in fact, is not even listed in add/remove. Unlike all other Mozilla based browsers, I am not getting infected with ANY spyware, and I'm purposely cruising some rather obscure sites just to test it.
Looks like it might be bye-bye Opera. Have already uninstalled Opera from all 5 of my machines. Bummer too kind of, as I have been a very faithful Opera user since the early version 5 days! May have to change my sig now too!
I don't have any problem with Gmail (+ google services (with userjs)). My bank and others services works fine for me. Check your Opera configuration.
Would you catch the sarcasm?
nice work with the speed dial
