[pchelpers] News:Opera Browser Now Has Phishing Filter

Monday, December 18, 2006

The latest version of the Opera Web browser incorporates a technology
that warns users when they visit a fraudulent site.

Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer and Mozilla's Firefox both included
such a feature — called a phishing filter — in their new releases in
October.

Like the others, Opera Software ASA's free Opera 9.1 browser displays a
warning when visitors go to a site that may trick them into revealing
passwords and other sensitive information. Opera's update was released
Monday.
