Hey guys,
I am not as competant as most here when it comes to using computers, I was wandering when i download the file and it ways it is an excetutable file, is that ok to open? A warning come up saying that opeing executable file could be dangerous and malicious or harm the computer.
Thanks, Pure.Calm
Ps. As someone who uses FF do you think it is worth me switching over?

Downloading and giving it a shot, though I'm a huge Chrome fan.

good proxyes aren't at all needed to be configured via your Internet properties and chrome can use proxies too but a proxy should be configured in your Internet connection settings via your ethernet or wireless PBCAK much

I was using Chrome. Though Opera seems to be working pretty well. Though I accidentally blocked livestream on TL though can still watch in on livestream itself, how do I undo that. I tried unblocking it but it won't stay unblocked.

Opera has always been the best. This new version looks interesting.

how do you get opera to do that thing chrome does where you can type in a webpage in the address bar, then press tab to search that webpage instead of having to go there.
for example, in chrome, type "wikipedia" into search bar, then press "tab", then type "starcraft" and chrome will automatically search for starcraft on wikipedia for you and take you to the results. i love that feature. use it all the time.
i can't figure out how to get opera to do this.
opera has search shortcuts that you can use in the address field
wikipedia = w
so you type into the address field "w starcraft" and hit enter
preferences --> search
you can add/remove sites, edit what shortcut they use, etc

Firefox will always be king for 2 simple reasons
1) adblock
2) noscript

wow nony you have so many useful tips! I've been using Opera for 1-2 years, but I've never figured out these tricks. I have one question, can you rearrange the order in Password Manager? I have multiple gmail saved, and I want to reorder the order the accounts shows up when I hit "Ctrl+Enter". Do you know how to do that?

good hosts file works better as it prevents all ads no matter browser or in game etc
no script is a joke
1 in IE opera firefox you can set up trusted websites then the websites you normally visit you can mark those with different settings from the rest of the Internet in other-words you can disable shit like javascript for all the Internet except just those few websites.
2 in opera disabling javascript you can make it easy as putting a button on your menu to enable and disable things like javascript
3 anyone who gets a browser for speed and disables a major part of a website such as javascript and says their browser is so fast is just plain idiotic, frankly only websites like youtube or facebook need fast javascript
take the 10 mins to set up custom settings and guess what you have a freaking secure browser. I use IE and opera (IE for reasons that it's the most compatible webbrowser around and frankly by design the most secure although most targeted, esp under my windows 7 limited account it's near impenetrable most IE bugs are though XP or when people mess with their settings without knowing what they do)

Are you trolling?
I'm not even going to bring up the innumerable problems with internet explorer, the entire internet has already done so and found it lacking.

Awesome, will switch once addons are available. Id prefer using opera/chrome for streaming and FF for regular interweb.

On a limited account by default settings IE8 is by far the most secure webrowser, if you change a few more settings and properly set up trust sites and then disable the rest of the internet it is dam near impenetrable. Alot of the so called viruses for it and crap are cause by people downloading and installing shit when they don't know where it came from and what's in it.
and all popular webroswers have this ability, essentially making better security then noscript can offer without having to deal with that thing popping up everything you visit a new website no script to me is nothing but a shitty gui for something you should already do, along with adblock as adblocking can be done via hosts file. And this is esp easy with opera can you can just right click and go to manage site preferences and enable things such as javascript or plug-ings for websites you need, which is quite convenient when dealing with mail clients and other things that may want to redirect you for security along with quickly being able to enable disable those things though the ui and IE does this the best in terms of what to enable and disable in trusted not trusted zones.
Setting up your Internet properly to have a whitelist of websites you visit regularly and basically disabling plugins chokies and javascript and other netto things will prevents everything except again those stupid things such as downloading a programing running it and getting infected off that.

Opera seems really cool and there's not too much of a change coming from using FireFox since it was new. Most annoying thing that I've found is how there's no "undo closed tab." Pretty minor, really, love the gestures and other built-in things to streamline everything.
In Opera, Undo Closed Tabs - little Recycle Bin button on top right.
