The first Beta 9.1 with the new 'Fraud Protection' feature is ready for testing:

I will wait for the next beta version because of the know issues...

 

I´m not really into anti-phishing/anti fraud, don´t really need it, plus with this tech you can be tracked, sounds a bit like spyware.

OT:

@ VC are you still using Maxthon?

 

They will not track the users, read this Opera Backstage: Opera 9.1 will include Fraud Protection

Only when need to use the IE kernel, that now is very rare...

 

That is quite shocking news VC, so that´s why I almost never see you at the Maxthon forum. But I have to say that at the moment things do not really look that good when it comes to Maxthon v2, development is very slow and I´m not seeing any real innovative stuff yet. So for the moment I will stick with Max v1, because FF and Opera suck quite badly when it comes to certain stuff IMO.

 

Not shocking, my friend...

I was a little disappointed with the way that the new version was started, with its support, and the forum isn't the same since they change it about 2 years ago...

Other thing is that now Opera have much (really much) less problems with websites, because of its new engine and also because a lot of webmasters are adding support for Firefox, and this helps everyone one the web.
Opera now is free and is the most rich available browser in all the areas, so...

 

Fraud Protection is working fine:

Hmmm,
Fraud Protection is a very good idea IMO.

 

Just when you thought Opera couldn't get any safer

 

Another good thing is that the fraud protection doesn't have to be set on automatic. The "?" sign appears in the adresse bar anyway...

 

and by clicking it on some suspicious site (the site I use in this example is of course not suspicious at all to say the least), the fraud protection can be launched for this particular instance only.

 

Hi have u tried it on some actual fraud site. Is it possibe if I PM u a fraud link and u try to check whether opera detects it or not?

Thanks

 

Go ahead!

 

@aigle, here the reaction of Opera for a bad link you sent me. Opera brings up this Alert before opening the side. Excellent!

That nice to see though I can,t see anything in my browser.
Can u post as an attachemnet?

 

Klick on the image in my post.

 

Sorry, for some obscure reasons I can,t even see any image to click, unless u post it as an attachement like dylanfan has done.

 

Here we go again. Strange that you can't see images. Are you using some kind of blocker? The url for my image in the above post is 'http://img482.imageshack.us/my.php?image=20061106195159xe4.png"

 

Thanks, it,s nice indeed.
Ya, my ISP filters imageshack mostly, and much more.
