I'm not sure what software is that. When you assume, etc... I've started with Mosaic and Netscape (and on Sun OS for that matter), used Mozilla for a few years, then FF on Windows, and finally Safari and then Chrome for as long as both existed on the Mac (and have even used KHTML --in the form of Konqueror-- for light browsing on my dev box for a couple of years in the early 00s). Those, as an end user. As a web dev for testing, besides IE, I have also fired up Opera for years, including back when it had an ugly QT facade and with its own rendering engine. I've never liked it though, and it never stuck to be used as the main browser. Being able to toggle Javascript on/off with a single checkbox: all browsers have that. Doing it per page: again, as I said, dead easy to add, e.g.: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/quick-javascript-switcher/geddoclleiomckbhadiaipdggiiccfje?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/quick-javascript-s... So, "only Opera has that" is BS. "Oh, but Opera has it built-in and I can't be bothered to install a third party exception", on the other hand, might be true -- that doesn't make that much of a valid reason to stick to an older browser to me eyes.

  As far as I read the source of the extension it's still per tab, not dependent on the origin of the script but just the URL of the whole tab and then it's all or nothing, completely different from Old Opera's behavior? > https://github.com/maximelebreton/quick-javascript-switcher/blob/master/src/js/core.js https://github.com/maximelebreton/quick-javascript-switcher/... That is, if the url of the tab is whitelisted, the code from all sites is run in the given tab with this extension? Opera worked differently.
