I have been using Opera for many years since 6.x and except occasional page rendering issues (normally due to IE-centric coding on many sites), it has been my favourite because it is stable and fast. However, there is no doubt that Mozilla/SeaMonkey/Firefox is strong with a wide range of plugins available (that you previously mentioned).

Opera is still my favourite on Linux, although occasionally keyboard will be locked up probably due to some windowing toolkit issue (i.e. Qt).

Google Chrome also loads fast on my system. Often lighter compared with Opera so I tend to use it more often on Windows these days.

Opera 9.5 for Sparc

Has anyone gotten Opera 9.5 to work? I'm using Solaris Sparc 5.10. The browser is unusable. It crashes even when viewing Opera's Desktop Team blog. I've asked Opera about this, but no reply. I've never been able to get the 9.5 betas to work either. From one Opera user's blog, I don't see any...

VLOCK-PLUGINS(5)					     Linux Programmer's Manual						  VLOCK-PLUGINS(5)

NAME

       vlock-plugins - plugin support for vlock

DESCRIPTION

       If  vlock-main(8)  is  compiled with plugin support its default features are very limited: it can only lock the current session and ask for
       authenticiaton.	However it is possible to extend this functions through plugins.  These plugins are loaded when vlock-main starts and  can
       provide hooks that are called at certain points during the lifetime of the vlock-main process.

DEFAULT PLUGINS

       The following plugins are provided when installing vlock with default options:

       all

	      This plugin locks all sessions by disabling console switching.  It is also loaded when giving the -a,--all option to vlock(1).

       new

	      This  plugin  switches to a new virtual console before disabling console switching through the "all" plugin.  It is also loaded when
	      giving the -n,--new option to vlock(1).

       nosysrq

	      Linux only.  This plugin disables the Linux SysRQ mechanism before the console switching is locked by the "all" plugin.  It is  also
	      loaded when giving the -s,--disable-sysrq option to vlock(1).

ADDITIONAL PLUGINS

       The following plugins are only available if explicitely selected at build time:

       caca

	      This plugin runs a random libcaca screensaver when the screen is locked.

WRITING PLUGINS

       For information about writing plugins see the PLUGINS file in the vlock source distribution.
