Have you tried this http://www.fanboy.co.nz/adblock/

Works nicely on my system along with the CSS file for Element Hider.

 

Hello lodore,

Haute Secure(HS) functionality within Opera 9.5 is enabled by default when "Enable Fraud Protection" is ticked.

hello CogitoErgoSum,
cool thanks for the info.
anyway to test it?

 

http://www.verybadsite.com

Enable fraud protection and then go to this site.

~added pic given some have questioned the test link's validity....Bubba~

 

Will try it right now...

 

Any idea when the linux version will be available?

Edit: Ok, I see it is available now, although the update check on my beta shows I have the latest version.

 

remarkable is the speed gain,way much faster then earlier version.

 

Absolutely. It is actually noticeably faster on my system than the last beta.

 

Ah, so HauteSecure works with IceWeasel in Debian as well?

Opera is getting too advanced for me

 

Looks good but I have a problem after upgrading to version 9.5 as it does not work on my Limited User a/c (LUA). Tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail so still not working on my LUA. Very unhappy.

This is how I did my upgrade:

1) Followed Opera link from this website to download 9.5 version (English).
2) Clicked install and followed instructions.
3) Then clicked on Opera icon to start and it worked fine in Admin a/c.

Then, as usual, I cleaned up using CCleaner as I did in the past with all new installation and went out.

4) Shut down PC and went out ..

5) Came back - restarted PC by login into LUA to start Opera.
6) Error message appeared.

7) Reinstalled all CCleaner registry back to before it was cleaned.
Restarted Opera - still did not work in LUA.

9) Reinstalled Opera 9.5 again on top of the present Opera 9.5 with Repair option which went fine.

10) Log-in to LUA to restart Opera but error message still appeared.

11) This time uninstalled Opera 9.5 completely and downloaded from website again for another 9.5 version (just used different site download) to install.

12) Reinstalled Opera 9.5 and it worked perfectly in Admin a/c but when I tried it on LUA - same error message appeared again.

I give up ...

Not a happy bunny.



P/s: any help please? I like Opera very much but if this does not work I will just stick to Firefox until such time as I can sort out the problem ...

 

Hello,

Actually, if I try the verybadsite.com in Firefox 2 I get redirected:
http://hautetest.com/opera/index.aspx

So, what exactly is the point of this?

Mrk

 

No no, HauteSecure is that good.

 

I am impressed by the speed boost of 9.50 compared to 9.27.

Not using fraud protection though (i feel it like spyware, having a site controlling the site i have to visit and tell me if it's good).

Oh, if i type something in the address bar, it gives me a pop up list of "possible words" from my favourites, which i find very annoying. Does anyone know a way to disable this?

 

Opera running fine here on my LUA account on XP64, also upgraded my previous 9.27 without any hitch.

 

Just one question...
When I go to verybadsite.com, I get this screen:



Only thing is... I'm using Firefox ATM...

Is this a fake test?

EDIT: sorry, re-posted what Mrk asked...

 

Using Opera 9.5 with fraud protection enabled, I get this when visiting verybadsite.com:

 

Hello Firebytes,

I confirm your findings with Opera 9.5. I can also confirm that if one visits http://www.verybadsite.com/ with FireFox, one will see the screenshot that HURST has posted in post #20.


Peace & Gratitude,

CogitoErgoSum

 

Maybe its more of a "Hey, wanna see what it will look like if Haute Secure blocks something?" screenshot type thing, instead of an actual test.

 

does anyone else have issues with opera 9.5?
every so often opera just flashs alot, nearly enough to give someone a seizure. then the taskbar looks weird and only way to get opera working again is to crash it in task manager and reopen.
seems to be something to do with java games.
it has been fine most of the day but since around 6pm or so it started happerning every few hours.

 

In order to get rid of that, go to opera:config, uncheck Addressbar Content Search and then click Save.

 

Thank you very much. I found the option as you indicated and disabled it, but it doesn't seem to work. I saved, closed Opera, relaunched it, controlled that it is unchecked and it STILL shows me links from my bookmarks when i start typing something in address bar...

EDIT: Just found the solution.From "Operauser" in http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20630527-Update-Opera-950-Final

"Go to opera:config and search for "drop"
Then uncheck "auto dropdown" and click save"
