So this is my mainly security config i don't have any problems nor conflicts and yes a common sense was needed.

Puppy Linux= Occasional purpose only
Peppermint OS = Browsing matters only
Windows XP SP3= For student purpose and often browsing.

EMET (Windows XP SP3)
Toolwiz Time Freeze
Online Backup Storage: Dropbox, Google Drive and SkyDrive

You may think that, but use Opera and you'll never want Firefox back. :winktongue:

Hopefully Opera will have more extensions in the future. I am missing Xmarks.

Alphas are not meant for public consumption.
Why are they already on version 6? Where did version 5 go?
