Aside

Opera Search

This comment about my Quick thoughts on Opera vs Firefox prompted me to go and tweak the search engines that Opera supports through fields on its toolbars.It involves a little bit of ini file hacking (easily explained) or you could try this Opera Search.ini Customizer. It works quite well, and Opera supports HTTP:Post search requests. Firefox can’t do that.I’ve still got a couple of things on the next-actions list relating to Firefox so I won’t switch back for a little while at least. Yesterday, Jon Udell again posted about Nic Wolff’s Password Generator. It’s a really neat javascript function that performs an md5 hash against your master password and a website domain to create a unique password for the site. Udell actually did a cool ‘screencast’ a while back which demonstrates it nicely. Anyway, I tried it before but decided it wouldn’t work in Opera.So now I’ve found an extension to this simple single sign-on mechanism, password composer, that uses GreaseMonkey to automate and integrate the process within the site itself. I’ve been meaning to try GreaseMonkey as well so this’ll take care of both.
