Phishing, UNIX and plug-ins...

, , , ...

...are the main fixes in this mid-weekly build.

PhishTank has been added as an additional Fraud Protection blacklist. PhishTank is a free community site where anyone can submit, verify, track and share phishing data.

Changelog:
  • Fixes to the Fraud Protection feature.
  • Fixes to Opera freezing with Flash 9 on Linux.
  • Fixed smooth scrolling on UNIX! w00t!!1!
  • Flash now works on FreeBSD! OMG!!!11!1!


We would like feedback specifically on any regressions you might notice with plug-ins on Linux. Note that the fixes might not fix all issues with Flash 9 yet, but you should see improvements.

A little note on where to enable smooth scrolling on UNIX: you find a checkbox to enable the feature in the advanced tab of the preferences, under "Browsing".

For our FreeBSD users that would like to experiment with Flash on FreeBSD: getting Flash to work is (unfortunately) not completely straight-forward yet, but here is a little HOWTO:

  • Copy operapluginwrapper and from the Linux static .1 archive to your local installation, overwriting the existing one
  • Copy libnpp.so from your FreeBSD package to the opera binary directory
  • Start Opera


Arjan, our lead developer for Opera on FreeBSD, has posted a more detailed step-by-step description to the freebsd-questions list.

Feedback welcome :smile:
