differentiating functionality. So now Jon von Tetzchner, the man who founded Opera and who would probably never have allowed those drastic feature changes, is back to serve this hard core with a new browser called Vivaldi."
I gave the browser a spin and looks quite nice. Once they got extension support and an ad-blocker available, I might use it on a daily basis...
Isn't Opera (and presumably this new Vivaldi too) a proxying browser? That is, it routes all traffic through Opera's own proxies?
Not if you turn off "Opera Turbo".
If so, it is a massive privacy leak and I wouldn't go anywhere near it.
Doesn't seem to do proxying like Opera. Visiting www.whatsmyip.org still shows my university IP address. Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174
