Opera 12.02 has just been released to address some important security issues. In that regard we would like to give you a tip regarding a new Java vulnerability that was announced. It only affects Java 7;Java 6 or older is not affected.
What's the best way to handle this for yourself in Opera? One solution is to activate the click-to-play for all plug-ins. From the main Opera menu, go to Settings -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Content, and click on Enable plug-ins. (See below.) This will also disable Flash, meaning you won't be able to watch videos, but on the other hand this should keep you safe until the Java problem is fixed.
Update: Sun has now updated Java 7, you should update as soon as possible!
Now, let's get those downloads going! Free, fast and available right here!

In Opera 12, we added a new feature called Do Not Track. This is a permission-based feature that informs a website that you do not wish to be tracked. But what does that mean exactly?
Many websites monitor and store information about their visitors. Even if you have never visited a company's site before, it can record and store data about everything from how long time you've spent on their site to what content you are looking at. This form of market research is very valuable, especially for the purpose of more targeted advertising.
Because this usually happens without your awareness, it may feel unsettling to realize your actions are being tracked on analytics services, advertising networks, and social media platforms. What Do Not Track does is to give you a way to say no to third-party web tracking.
This feature is disabled by default in Opera 12, but you can enable it from "Preferences" » "Advanced". Click on the security tab in the right column menu and check "Ask websites not to track me". Click OK and your settings will be saved.
