Opera

Opera installation on Linux:

• 1. Download from Opera.com.

  2. Extract and change to extracted directory

  3. Run installation script:

     1. ./install.sh

1. and answer questions (defaults should be fine).

Flash block

From A. Ruzanov at my.opera.com

Brief instructions, adapted from FlashBlocker-info.txt in .zip file below:

• • Download FlashBlocker.zip and unzip anywhere.

  • Copy FlashBlocker.css to. in my case, ~/.opera/styles/user

  • Create directory ~/.opera/userjs and copy FlashBlocker.js and FlashBlocker-white-list.js there. Edit the latter as necessary.

  • Restart Opera, go to View > Style, and select Flash blocker.

Blocking the Meebo toolbar

From My Opera.

Briefly, go to Tools - Preferences - Advanced Tab - Content - Blocked Content, and add:

• • http://s.meebocdn.net/*

  • http://cdn.meebo.com/*

  • http://meebo.com/*

  • http://www.meebo.com/*

Windows with no tabs

During an upgrade, it became possible to open a new window with no tabs. I can't think of any reason when this would be useful. This option is found under Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Additional Tab Options under a checkbox for Allow window with no tabs. Now, new windows by default have the cursor in the URL field, with a Tab keystroke away from focusing on the search field.
