Opera 9.10 out with phishing protection

[az]

Just wanted to let you know. The phishing protection is off by default, can be activated by clicking the question mark in the right corner of the address bar. It only transmits domain and hashed URL information for list lookup, no backtracing is possible (for the privacy concerned among you).

But does it still leak memory like a hooker's sores leak pus?

[az]

I wouldn't know how a hooker's sores leak pus - but I think not. Opera hasn't leaked memory on my machines for a long time; do not mistake the automatic RAM cache using all the memory it can get for a leak. This memory gets freed up when other apps need it. There's just no reason to have one gigabyte of RAM lying around unused.

I still wonder what are those memory leaks under Opera...it's the only perfectly useable/snappy browser under my usage pattern... (not uncommon to have ~100 tabs opened)

Start saving a lot of pics and you'll see. They've NEVER fixed them to my knowledge, and have only grudgingly even admitted that they exist.

Steps:

1. Open up a few picture sites in different tabs.

2. Start doing right-click, save as on the pics.

3. Wait.

After a while the system WILL become unusable.

You could just control-click the pics, or hit ctrl+j and select all the pics and then click save, though

Maybe I'll try doing what you suggested one day, right now I really can't be bothered to.

BTW, Opera runs on the 100$ laptop: http://people.opera.com/howcome/2006/olpc/

I haven't noticed any memory leaks using Opera, and I've been using it exclusively for over 3 months now. I refuse to use any other browser.
