SSL broken, again, in POODLE attack
Renegade:
Wow. This is nasty!

As the POODLE vulnerability is actually in the protocol itself, this isn't something that can be patched out like ShellShock and HeartBleed.

Solved! (solution found here)
1) Find your proper Opera executable folder, e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\25.0.1614.50_0
It is NOT in C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\
2) Run opera.exe --ssl-version-min=tls1
3) SSL is now turned off. Check it for the vulnerability at the link NigelH posted above.

And just like the Chrome fix, you will have to put it in the shortcut you use to launch it, because it has to be done every time you start the browser. It's not a one time fix & forget.

Whoops. Yes. Good point. You need to create a shortcut for it. A crappy fix, but better than nothing.

Also watch out for external links from other apps opening in Opera or Chrome, as they will not launch your browser with the command line parameter.
