Once again 2014 fumbles with XP SP 3

Ah, cooby, Opera 12.  No updates for Presto to encourage and give vulnerability clues to hackers.  Security through obscurity must apply to Opera 12 above all web facing software.

  Dear hake,
If the newest Opera had real bookmarks instead of a bunch of silly looking squares ... hmmm, that's off topic here.
If the newest Opera had the old options to make it secure, I might consider it even though it's a chrome knockoff which I don't like. But it doesn't. There is no QuickPrefs>Edit site prefs. So I have no fast and easy way to disable everything globally and allow selected items (images, scripts, frames,  cookies...) on a site-by-site basis.
So between Avast and Opera12, Kerio/Sunbelt/Outpost I feel safer.
Just waiting for Opera to bring back the real security features. Unlikely though, it's too inconvenient for the advertisers.

I also use current SeaMonkey with NoScript and AdBlock. NoScript is amazing - even more detailed than my Opera.
