A Blog From Behind the Trenches

If you don't understand Russian you can always translate it, too.

It's called marketing, just like Apple did with Safari, etc. Also, they don't say which Opera version, so yeah, it can be faster than Opera 3.0 or whatever.

IE safer than Opera? :lol
Maybe, ie 8 safer than opera 3.0

It's called lying. Yes, Apple lies too. So that means it's OK for Microsoft to lie?

Did you even read the blog post? It refers to the dishonest hit piece by NSS Labs. There's even a link to the article that debunks it!

Why do you always attack Opera, DjiXas?

The question is: Why is Microsoft publishing false claims from a report which is based on pseudoscience and manipulated statistics? The answer is: FEAR!! Hopfully nobody believes that BS from Microsoft

it happens to read something unaccurate about Opera around,

is there some place to report it?

@Marco: you can set "Master password" in Opera settings. Recovery will not be possible then.

What on earth does this have to do with the blog post? It isn't even something that needs to be "reported".

No, not a fan of dirty tactics either. However, maybe then it's about time to take more serious action than just post on a blog?

Somehow I doubt that just any random Opera employee has the power to take any kind of action.

Also, a blog post is a good thing because it lets people know what's going on. That way Microsoft can't get away with it in silence.

It's time to do more than a blog post! +1

Absolutely stupid M$ move, nothing but laughter

Strange. Are they not afraid of the Fox? Very enlightening. Thanks for the time machines to last year. Fascinating how that report has held up until now. (not)

Besides, if all they are relying on is the rare voluntary trojan, that old report was moot. (since being infected merely by loading the page is the biggest failure of IE and 'Fox)

I would say Microsoft has fallen behind on the net (IE 8 is a start and IE 9 might get somewhere) They still have not told web developers to write in standard code and so you still get sites that that say ( you know).

Microsoft needs to clean up their act and help the web forward and not push it back

What's the problem? That utility just uses the same algorithm that Opera uses to read the passwords' file. If you want real protection, you must define a master password.

As an average user/reader what I can understand is that Opera is missing something about data protection,

Techie Buzz Verdict
If an external software can crack the
algorithms of these browsers and fetch
the passwords, it would definitely be good if they can provide an option to set a master password and access the stored passwords, rather than having a algorithm which can be cracked easily.
That said, OperaPassView is a really
handy software to have, but again it
exposes the vulnerabilities of a
browser. What if your laptop is lost?
Anyone could use software like these
and get access to your passwords.
Are you listening Google Chrome and
Opera?


That's what I thought you advanced tech users see at first glance in the article, for I seen a similitude with MS advice , "don't use this browser cause there are better safe alternatives"

But I must be wrong, sorry to wasting your time,

@Purdi

When I said a place to report the article I mean if here in the Community exist a Forum or Blog to discuss what is reviewed in the web about Opera.

Then that average user is wrong. Did you even read the comments?

Are you trolling?

If not, why are you repeating this drivel when you have already been informed that Opera already has a master password feature?

Exactly. Let's always make it clear that Lying and Marketing are two very different things even if completely unethical so called "Marketing Professionals" tend to get things confused way too often.
