Same here for certain Opera settings, where a "help balloon"
is available, but doesn't help much... :-(

Crypto Method Overrides = 0
can be set across integer type (minus bigvalue, zero,
plus bigvalue) with a spinner, explanation privded is
"Remotely-updateable bit flags used to warn about or
disable insecure cryptographic methods".

Minimum Security Level = 0
Same, explained as "Minimum SSL security level allowed".

But I won't experiment with this any longer, now as the
forum can be accessed again. It's not that I participate
in the forum, but sometimes, it's good to read something
there for reference.

I'm well aware about the security implications due to RC4
and the urge to update the browser, but my current situation
doesn't allow any upgrades at the moment, so I have to work
with what I have, not with what I don't have. :-)
