easier switch to OPERA - design

Welcome into the future´s German Iran/China/...!

, , , ...

Our government (actually consists of CDU = "Cristian-Democratic-Union"
& CSU = "Cristian-Social-Union" [both conservatives] & SPD = "Social-Democratic-party of Germany")
introduces the *new* censorship (by "Ursula von der Leyen") (the Iran/China is the role model)
under the cloak of the "fight against child abuse" and put it into a new "law"!

At the moment, manipulated DNS-servers (standing at YOUR ISP) are used:
*Advantages/use:
-"What you don't see, that doesn't exist" (you are not forced to act by the people of your country)!

*Disadvantages/misuse/problems:
-Can (and will) be used for Censorship (unwanted blogs, freedom of speech, ...)!!!!!
-Can (and will) be used for eliminating of competitors (example: online-shops,...)!!!!!
-No reduce of child abuse (even when its difficult to bypass)!!
-Very easily to bypass (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NNG5I6DBm0 )!!!
-The documentation of child abuse keeps available/on-line!!!!!
-It is a forewarning for child abuser -> they can escape and easily reestablish the website!!!!!
-Can used as a web "telephone-book"/"shopping list" for child abuser!!!!!
(for both, they compare censored DNS-server vs. free DNS-server).
-The human resources used for blocking are not available for investigation
-Projects a not existing "safety" (and the people cherish in this false "safety").!!!!
-Its influenced by various industry lobbies of the private enterprise (the Content-Lobby
[music/film/software/game-industry], filter-software fabricators, the "game of chance"-lobby
[see competition eliminating], ...)

The same mistakes are made, as in the "free" countries with existing blocking (censorship) like
Australia, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, France ... and the "evil" countries like Iran, China,
Saudi-Arabia, Cuba, ... !
A European Union wide censorship is also planned!

The most child abuse servers are located in:
USA (especially California & Delaware*), South Korea, Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands!

We (the people who know what is a browser) have taken part at some demonstrations in entire Germany.
In 76131 Karlsruhe, we celebrated the Funeral of Article 5 (No Censorsip) of the German Constitution ("Grundgesetz" -> GG) (and I was involved like >100 other people).

SECURITY ALERT: Browser + Windows vs. Outpost firewall (BUG) !

, , , ...

UPDATE: the page has been fixed (sometime between 10. & 12. May 2008)
and does no longer shoot-down Outpost.
----------------------------------------

Alert source: my self, I have observed it by random while browseing.

Recommendation: change Firewall and/or Operatingsystem till bugfix -> a browser
change makes NO sense, because ALL actual (and older) browsers are affected.
No other recommendations, because it can hit YOU everythere in the web.

The following Page (and some other -> example: some pages of www.myvideo.de)
causing firewall shoot-down without any warning and it successfully
functions with ALL actual browsers (including Opera)

"http://video.web.de/watch/4031536"
(normally no eavil page, but could be maipullated)-> NOTE: This page will shoot-down Outpost (Firewall) pro 2008! You can restart Outpost by logout and login as administrator >
Go: Start > Run > enter "services.msc" > select "Agnitum Client Security Service" and click at Start.



AFFECTED Software:

1. ANY actual Browser:
*Opera 9.27
*Opera 9.50 beta2 b9945
*Opera 9.50 beta b9972
*Safari 3.1.1 (525.17)
*FireFox 2.0.1.4
(FireFox 3 beta 5 is not tested, because two paralel installed
versions of FireFox causes heavy FireFox-Problems)
*SeaMonkey 1.1.9 (see FireFox)
*IE 7.0.5730.13 (up to date -> 08.05.2008)
(all 4 zones set to highest settings)
*eaven old browsers like opera 8.54

2. Windows XP SP2 and
Windows XP SP3 (both fully patched)
with IE 7 (7.0.5730.13 up to date)
(and possibly IE6 too -> untested)
Eaven when using an password protected
restricted user account.
(eaven when the most dangerous services
[like Upnp service] are deactivated)
INFO: Not tested with Windows VISTA.

3. Outpost pro 2008 (v6.0.2162.205.0402)
and possibliy other versions


Successfull (security-) Bug demonstration does NOT require:
-animated pictures
-Pictures
-Javascript
-Java
-Flash
-other plugins
-webpage sounds
-cookies
-referer
-ActiveX (IE only).
-Network/Internet-access of other applications
(including widows system applications).
-administrator-previleges.
-> an additional router-Firewall makes no difference!


See Picture: http://my.opera.com/masterofopera/albums/showpic.dml?album=517465&picture=7281930

Edit: Reported to Opera (bug-329284@...)
Reported to Agnitum (outpost)
Will report to Micro$oft when getting an E-Mail Adress, where I can report it

--------------------------------------------
NOT Affected (secure) :
Operamini 4.1 beta on Microemulator 2.0.2 with
java (JRE) 1.6 update 6 on WinXP SP2 & SP3

Feedback to my opera modification

New version, DOWNLOAD HERE:
(Neue Version, hier Herunterladen: )

*GERMAN/DEUTSCHE version:
http://files.myopera.com/masterofopera/files/OperaUSB%209.63%20de%20(MoO%20ED).zip


Info: Based on "Opera@USB" 9.63 with an variant of "ie6xp_native-2_4" that is
Bugfixed/ compleeted and modded by me ( -> ie6xp_native-2_4 (fixed9Cx3) and I added
my personal Toolbar settings (inspired by very many browsers + some other own optimizions).
---
Feedback in my circle of friends (ALL use WINDOWS and different browsers) in the region I live
(region Karlsruhe in Baden-Württemberg in GERMANY was (average) ca. 80% positive, especially
Micro$oft Internet Explorer 3 to 7 Users, that generally want to change their browser, likes
it nearly at 100% and most of then want change to Opera.
(especially users thet are unexpirienced in Internet security and ..... on PC -> I was able bring
them the usage Opera near -> I told them, how dangerous the MSIE is and how secure Opera is
eaven by default. ) On some FireFox users I was able to score with Operas build-in feature
(including BITTORRENT), because FireFox gets a bloatware with too much extensions.
Info: Some Internet Explorer users NEVER want to change, the MSIE suffices them, nearly all
FireFox users (eaven these that like my mod) DO NOT want to change, they do not want to
habituate new.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This album shows my optimized skin(s), toolbar-settings and button placements, etc. as a
suggestion to Opera programmers and every member(and visitor [intrestet in opera] , when he
can see this) to make the switch from Internet Explorer and FireFox to Opera much easier.

Example: The first one is a "best of" all browsers, I testet/ used and some things added by me.

-My Browser history: AOL 7 to 9, next: Internet Explorer 6,next: Mozilla-suite/ Netscape,
Next: FireFox 1, ( + testing Opera 7.03 and Opera 7.54 and
Opera 8.00 to 8.4x), NEXT: Opera 8.50 (since him I am an Opera user)
Next: Opera 9.xx (up to actual 9.63 + Opera 10 Alpha 1) ( + FireFox 2+3 for testing only).

Info: AOL 9 (+ 7 & 8) Browser (AOL 9 is a "BADWARE" ) had nearly nothing good and was NOT
integratet in the IDEA of this 1st design optimized by me.


Give a feedback to this design(s)(toolbar-settings and button placements, etc.) .

Idea Actually into BETA STATE.

I currently working on toolbar sizes, esecially the panel, I want make it as slim, as in
the skin "opera_standard_compact_edition_v3_04-3_04" and I want reduce the
hight of the tabs in the tabbar.
I have not much expirience in editing the skin.ini, is there an easier way to modify it??
