Firefox has been hogging the news since the last couple of days with its first final version release with plans to snatch up to 10% of the browser market share in the coming year. However, there is another browser, which has survived every @$$ault in the web browsers field.

Opera Browser has been the third most popular browser in the market since quiet many years. It has seen the Netscape Era, it survived the Internet Explorer scare, and now it is doing pretty good with Firefox taking the center stage. It is in version 7.xx now and is possibly the most feature rich browser (not a skin for another rendering engine) out of the box and that too in a sub 4meg download (without java).

In fact, the company claims that more than 5 million copies of the browser have been download from the official sources.

This latest release comes with a handful of security flaws, including some that could be used by phishers and other attackers to spoof Web sites. The official website claims that this update fixed around five problems related to security issues found by the various agencies around the world. Some of the flaws fixed in this update are related to the XMLHttpRequest redirect vulnerability and cross-site scripting bugs in the original version 8 release.
