Once you've installed this UserScript Javascript file, you'll get the bugs-fixed list on the Desktop Team's blog presented as an <ol> instead of a bulleted <ul> list. A neat line summarizing it all comes for free. 😉 …

If you, like me, have a soft spot for tweaking search.ini using a plain text editor to customize that file to suite your personal needs in terms of searching, then you certainly came across the time consuming and unpleasant necessity to re-assign consecutive numbers to the search engines' .ini sections.
If you have the *nixish stream editor sed at hand (it is also available as pre-compiled windows binaries), then you can use the attached sed-script to automate the process of giving numbers to search engines. …

If you install Opera 12.00 Next builds 1317 and 1325 over earlier 12.00 Next builds, due to bug DSK-358417 you lose any localStorage data as well as all individual Widgets setting (widgets.storage).
This happens, because formerly mentioned builds expect this data in the ”local“ part of an Opera profile, not in the ”roaming“ (as it is called in Windows Vista). You can fix this by moving the old data to the new location.

1live² ist eine Opera™ SpeedDial-Erweiterung, die den gerade auf dem WDR Radio Eins1ive gespielten Titel anzeigt und verschiedene Optionen beim Klick anbietet.
1live² is an Opera™ speeddial extension that shows you the song currently played on the German public WDR radio station ”Einslive“.
Choppr ins an extension for Opera and that adds a short flic.kr-url to the right hand column on a Flickr™ photo page.
This short url is calculated from the photo's unique id (actually, the calculation is ”bijective“, thus could be inverted) – there is no web service contacted during that process.
You find the short url behind a little ☆-icon below the photo's license statement and above its privacy information in the right hand info column.
This filter emulates the visuals of a color positive film developed C-41. That procedure – also known as ”cross processing“ has some amazing effects on contrast and color balance oft the image. …
Legal considerations around the U.S. Patent No. 5,838,906, currently held by infamous Eolas company for the single purpose of "defending" it, forces Opera to abstain from implementing any measures that could be interpreted as ”invoking external application providing interaction and display of embedded objects“.
Therefore the user of Opera has to take the burden to ”click-to-activate“ a Flash applet in a web page first, before he is able to use it and interact with it.
This ”click-to-activate“-hassle can be removed individually by an Opera-user on his end (and in his own responsibility!) by patching the Opera binary code.
The Google Analytics-API provides a new feature, that allows a webmaster to instruct the Google Analytics tracker (that is constructed by of a tiny piece of Javascript code embedded in the web page's markup) not to store the last 8 bits of the IP address of you, the visitor.
This UserScript checks each inline script embedded in a web page, whether a Google Analytics Tracker is constructed therein. If that is the case, it surgically 😉 inserts an Analytics-API call to the _anonymizeIp() function, thus requesting the masquerade of the IP.
New: As an experimental feature you can also enable the handling of asynchronous trackers. A call to _anonymizeIp() is pushed into the _gaq command queue in these cases.
You may consider it one step in direction of an alternative to the Google Analytics Opt-Out Addons available for other major browsers. …
If you do not want to use a full-fletched search.ini editor to customize that file to suite your personal needs in terms of searching, then you can certainly use a plain text editor. it is time consuming and unpleasant, though, to re-assign consecutive numbers to the search engines' .ini sections.
If UltraEdit™ (as of versions 15+, I guess) is your editor, then you can use the attached UltraEdit-Javascript to automate the process of giving numbers to search engines. …
