Interview with Opera's VP of Engineering

In your opinion, what are Opera's strengths when it comes to security?

Our strength is that we take it really really serious. We have an excellent Q&A team that tests the browser versions prior to release, both manually, and automatically. We even have a group of skilled experts who call themselves "Evil Knights" working at finding holes and issues prior to launch.

Second, we try to develop our product in such a way that it helps the end users to browse safely. Our advanced Fraud Protection is one example of such a feature. Thirdly, whenever something comes up as a security issue after we have launched a product it takes first priority. We aim to never let a security issue stay unpatched.
