I don't want fraud protection and don't want the question mark showing but can see no way to get rid of it. I don't have fraud protection enabled BTW but the question mark is still there.

I don’t want fraud protection and don’t want the question mark showing but can see no way to get rid of it.

I don’t have fraud protection enabled BTW but the question mark is still there.

Click on the question mark on the right side of the address bar, that will bring up the fraud protection menu. Uncheck "enable fraud protection". Petros, yes you can.

I think not. I didn't like the feature in IE7, I never knew it was in Firefox 2. Don't get me wrong, it's an important feature... but I don't think I need this kind of protection 24/7 on my browsing. Not all the sites need to be screened for Fraud. I like to keep it disabled and when ever I got a bad feeling of a website (or submit important information via a form) I'll run a quick check via the browser. I won't fall for; http://paypal.ebays.co.au/secure-transaction/ This comment is related to the Browser Poll: “Do you need fraud protection in your browser?”

And why can't Opera put Ubuntu dist-files on the same deb repository or even a separate one? Since they already have packages for Ubuntu it should be very easy to set them on a deb repository.

So I seriously doubt that they would be sent along with the domain name. That said, I suspect that when they say "domain name" they actually mean hostname+domainname, to distinguish between, say, two blogspot sites (myblog.blogspot.com vs. yourblog.blogspot.com). As for where it gets sent, it looks like it's sent to sitecheck.opera.com. So presumably it's Opera's servers using GeoTrust's data.

If I were to type http://username:password@mydomain.com/hello/world/, would my username and password information be sent to the servers? And is it sent to Opera servers, or GeoTrust servers (as said above). How does Opera perform on ftp pages for fraud protection?

So I'm glad to see the final is actually up. I've only been using it for a few minutes, and I don't have fraud protection turned on, so it doesn't feel any different than 9.02. But the changelog mentions compatibility with the Flash 9 beta for Linux, which is very welcome! I'll have to surf over to youtube or someplace when I get home (I have no speakers on my computer at work) and try it out.
