sure, but if i compromise opera, I do have the same rights to do malicious
stuff like i would had, if i compromise IE. Same is true for netscape.

Remeber the flash plugin overflow (which still exists). All Browses

And yes, there are some security problems in Netscae's JS engine, no reason to
believ opera is safe.
