Cross-Scripting protection???
Hi All,I have just changed over from blunderbird to Opera-Mail and am loving it.
I still use Firefox for browsing because I have NoScript which is very feature rich in selective levels of protection, Cross-Scripting being one significant issue.
Is there anything like that for Opera? If so, I would love to have it so I can just have the single Browser/Mail client as I really like the Opera Browser, but am cautious of using it when Firefox+NoScript offers so much better safety.
I have searched here and read a lot of hacks and approaches, but I do not want to spend that amount of time trying to make Opera work my way. I would like to find an add-in that will handle stuff much like NoScript. The importance of the add-ion is it will be a simple to add it to other installations of Opera, my netbook etc.
Thanks
Try NotScripts. I believe that's the closest thing Opera has to NoScript at the moment.

I installed it but when I clicked the icon all I got was a window with "Options Home" at the top. There were no instructions on how to set it as the website suggested so I removed it. Not for Prime Time yet.
Did you refresh the page you were trying to use it on first? If you install an Opera extension, for said extension to work on a tab you already had open at that time, you must first reload the page. (In other words, an extension cannot see any pages loaded before the extension started running.)

Thanks for the thought, but I restarted Opera and tried several different sites, but all I got was that long window with the two underlined links. I clicked "Home" and it took me to a bicyclists page, I guess that's the developer. I went to a site that I know has cross scripting (it is a safe site) and it allowed the cross scripting without complaint.
I clicked the Options link and nothing happened but double-click got me a small menu that had no useful options. I have uninstalled it and will stay with Firefox for browsing for the time being. There is a comment on the NotScript page along the lines of "has development stopped." so I guess there is no point in trying it again.
Thanks for taking the time to try to assist.

Oh well. It's possible a change in newer versions of Opera broke part of the extension.
