Why doesn't this browser offer internal support of the SOCKS protocol?
All the others do (other than Safari and Lynx/Links). It makes no
sense. Googling shows people have been bitching about this glaring
omission in Opera since at least 1999.

...I think the more important question is...why the *** are you even
bothering with a *** grade, wannabe browser like Opera?

Because I got bored using Firefox & Konqueror and wanted to try something
different.

Doc - Then again, on the other hand, there is another reason

....how do you get bored using a browser? I mean, it's a browser fer
*** sake. It's a tool, it's supposed to be functional, not entertain
you. It's a sad, sad day when you start turning to your Internet
browser for entertainment. I can just imagine the conversation:

:Wife: "Hey honey, what's on TV tonight?"

:Husband: "TV?! Fuck the TV, man I'm downloading some fuckin INTERNET BROWSERS tonight!"

:Wife: o_O
