opera 9 is out
piratePenguin:
lol, you should all uninstall your crappy non-free flash players - all I see is an image.
Calum:
i used to champion opera on this site, years ago when mozilla was still way below version 1.0, and that was because opera was better than mozilla back then, simple as that. the only problem was the banner adverts. Now, firefox has almost every feature opera has that you would want, when you have the prefbar installed anyway, and it is more useable, more stable and also it is Free. opera has basically stood still for years (mostly) while mozilla (firefox, bon echo, whatever it's called now) has really risen from its own ashes at least once since then.

I've just downloaded it. Seems to be better. Now I can load a YTMND without a damn quicktime box in the corner.
piratePenguin:
oh man, ohman ohman ohman.
I can't believe what I just tried, worked.
I setup a new user account on my machine, "test", logged in, started Opera - it setup a wonderful fresh profile for me in /home/test/.opera. This included a cookies4.dat file, which would store any cookies for me.
In Firefox, cookies are stored in a cookies.txt file. This file has very strict permissions - nobody can view it except the owner. This is for a very good reason - if anyone else can read it, they can copy it and they'll know all your cookies.
And, well, if you're me, that means they'll be able to log into my microsuck forums account and well, make this post. I'm logged in as test now, I coppied the cookies4.dat file from /home/declan/.opera/cookies4.dat into /home/test/.opera and when I came to microsuck.com/forums I was already logged in - didn't need to enter a password!
Badbad Opera.
Are the permissions fucked up like this on Windows too?
EDIT: konq users are safe - I can't access /home/declan/.kde atall - smart people those KDE devs.
