Disable check for verified certificates

Hi,

I would like to get an option not to check whether a certificate is verified, because

1. 10.51 and 10.52 never remember when I ask to remember my choice when appoving a certificate,
2. I don't care whether a certificate is verified or not, and I don't care that there is even a certificate associated with a website,
3. it is annoying having to deal with a pop-up window with tabs in order to get opera to remember my choice (which as said, it doesn't, but this is a bug, not a feature).

Therefore, I would like to see this option - "never check whether certificate is certified" (or at least silently approve everything or whatever, bottom line display the page without user interaction).
cheers

1 is true, but I consider it a bug (somebody ever reported it?)

@general topic: -1 personally as of security risk and the unwanted behaviour is the result of a bug -> nothing really to fix when that gets fixed.

Yes and no...you'll still have to approve it at least once. I disagree that it is a serious security risk, the over-checking of everything is mostly due to rampant online paranoia, and to my mind expecially in this case.
I just want to have the ability of telling opera NOT to check anything - accept the certificate silently, never check certification.
BTW, 1 is indeed a bug, 2 and 3 are usage preferences.
cheers
