SOCKS Support in Opera
SOCKS support would be an amazingly useful feature to include in Opera... I can get "most other leading brand browsers" to use SOCKS proxies + I'd like to be able to use Opera with work, but unfortunately I can't view the webpages I need to unless the browser is able to use a socks proxy.Is SOCKS support a feature that Opera is planning to implement?
Is there a way to shoe-horn Opera into using SOCKS?
(is this the right place to post this kind of thing?)
thanks for any advice.

It was a bright, cold day in April...
SOCKS 5 Proxy support is working in Opera 11.10. It isn't clear because it doesn't show up in the menu, you have to go to opera:config. See http://hubpages.com/_1qx7t66a8hy2b/hub/How-to-Use-Opera-with-a-SOCKS-Proxy for detailed steps.

Thank you for full SOCKS Proxy support beginning from Opera 11.50. Is there a possibility to make DNS - queries through SOCKS proxy also (like in FF when network.proxy.socks_remote_dns is set to true)?
Yes, this was driving me mad...! Browsing from behind the Great China Firewall, blocked sites are still blocked. Whenever I try to fetch a blocked site all traffic through my ssh tunnel (socks) gets blocked. Using Firefox and/or Chrome (with localhost as DNS server in Mac OS X settings) is the only way to browse normally.
Opera devs, any feedback on this? Much appreciated!
