Hitting F12 in Opera, the following
options are active:
- Open all pop ups.
- Enable animated pages.
- Enable Java
- Enable Plugins
- Enable Javascript.
- Enable cookies.
The following is unchecked:
- Enable sound in web pages.
- Send referrer information.
- Enable proxy servers.
Under advanced preferences
- Enable fraud protection is checked.
- Networks: Max connection to server is 8 (default).
There are so many choices under advanced settings that an Opera specialist should answer. I am a beginner.
P.S. Writing this answer, I noted new features:
"Adding new searches
Opera comes with a useful set of default search engines, but you may want to add some of your own favorite searches to the mix.
Adding a new search is most conveniently done as follows: (My addition: CTRL + F12 gives you an overview)
- Go to the site that has the search you want.
- Right-click the search field.
- Select "Create search" from the context menu.
- Edit the name of the search engine to your liking.
- Add a short keyword to be able to use the search engine directly from the address field, as described above.
- Click "OK", and the new search is added and can be used anywhere within Opera.
If you want to make the new search your default search engine, expand the dialog by clicking the "Details" button, and check the "Use as default search engine" box. You can also make it your default search engine for Speed Dial by checking the "Use as Speed Dial search engine" box.
In the expanded dialog, you can also edit the search string directly and specify that the POST method should be used for this search".
