A good browser can run extensions without lagging. But it is the slowest browser when loaded with alot of extensions. But firefox is probably the most amazing customizable user interface I’ve ever seen. Opera is nothing short of a miracle because of it’s wonderful user interface. Those are more than enough options to build a security barrier for any browser. You want HTTPS, a script blocker, a cookie management suite, something that does what self destructing cookies do and ghostery on every browser is a must. All of the top browsers are going to likely need addons to button up all the holes and make it secure. It’s secure as most other browsers out of the box but most browsers have the same vulnerabilities to attacks unless there are built in security features that the browser boasts to deal with some specific threats like Citrio. As for it’s security, if they just made security updates, there’s nothing about old Opera that should make you worry. Well, I didn’t expect this Opera update, that’s for sure. So, almost ALL of the addons I have in Firefox are because FF doesn’t like to put great features in vanilla browser and their current crusade of dumbing down everything. – uBlock Origin = 2nd actually useful addon, OO did not have this much and easy blocking system (though I managed to make it automatic with wget and batch file). – Tile View = OO had MDI (Multiple Document Interface) that handled this need. – Tab Scope (show tab thumbnails when hovering) = OO had this. – Super Start = better Speed Dial, OO had good one. – SearchIMDB = with OO one could customize context menus for everything. – S3.Google Translator = first in the list that is not about defeating bugs or design stupidity, great addition, even OO did not have this functionality. – Omnibar = started using this because FF URL bar had a strange bug/problem that added many seconds delay when searhing from the URL bar. – No Close Buttons = and again, one of stupidest moves by FF, they removed about:config setting for removing close buttons from tabs, what harm that setting did?! OO customization was super. – Drag-Select Link Text = I got this only because Netflix in its wisdom changed their website to crap -> could not select movie/series title text and select “search IMDb” from context menu. – Close Button (Adds a Close Tab button to the toolbar) = once again, how stupid to need an addon for this, OO could be customized like hell. – Click to Play per-element = Why isn’t this part of vanilla FF?! OO had it. – Add-ons Manager – Version Number = this is stupid, I need an 3rd party addon for this because FF hid the info.
Opera 12 download for mac update#
– Add-on Update Checker = why can’t I get just check¬ify for addons in vanilla FF?! No, it’s just no update (and no notification either) or automatically, stupid. – 2 Pane Bookmarks = Old Opera (OO from now on) had it. In fact, with old Opera, I did not need ANY addons. Best browser so far.Ĭurrently with my main browser Firefox, I have many many times shooked my head of how much addons I need that provide “basic” functions that old Opera had from the get go. And is everything related to other web-technologies up-to-date and fixed? Is JavaScript safe with this old browser? That comes to my mind first.
