Since last, I’ve updated to Opera 8.01, and I’ve been more spoilt as a result. Inn addition to bug fixes and security fixes, a new feaure has been added to the browser: Browser javascript. Very similar to user javascript, but these are scripts that are added by Opera.com, updated automatically once a week. The purpose? To “fix” badly coded websites, so that they work.
It is an experimental feature, which you have to activate by editing the opera6.ini-file in your profile directory, adding the line Browser JavaScript=1 below [User Prefs].
There is one site, atomfilms.com, that I used to visit now and then earlier – but as it didn’t work with Opera I lost interest in it. Now, with the browser js in place, I can enjoy the site once again. Maybe I’m changing habits again? I’ve added the feed from their blog now, so it may happen.
In other words: Great work, Opera. You continue to make my experience better and better.
