In case anyone took me up on my praise of Opera, he or she should go check
ou the latest security warning about it:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/22949.html

A cross-scripting vulnerability that may allow malicious code on web pages
access to your cookies and cache.  Not that big a deal, especially if you
point your cookies to /dev/null in the first place, but worth looking
into.  Operas says a patch should be available by the end of the month.
The worst problems can be avoided by setting the "use cookies to trace
password protected documents" option and by disabling javascript, in any
event.

It's still a DAMN cool browser, the only truly decent one for Linux IMHO.
