"The dog that didn't bark?"
Pros: I installed and am using this on Opera, but how does one know if it works, or how well? If one has no problems, is it because of this product or because one didn't encounter any of the problems it is supposed to control?
I just don't know.Cons: Nothing bad to say about it as yet.
Summary: If it works as advertised, well and good.

So go to any web page, do a "View Source" on the page. Now imagine the JavaScript sitting inside a page is about to instrument your machine with a keyboard logger because it contains rogue code. Try to save off the .HTML (what you're seeing) to say:
c:\Windows\badStuff.txt
If things work, you'll see a complaint about not being able to save the .HTML file because you do not have administrative rights.
Run your browser the old way and see what happens. You'll be able to save the file which is BAD. Imagine the motions you just took were done inside of code pulled down by your browser and unbeknownst to you and your system files were modified with a back door.
That's the risk you take with administrative rights. Malware often uses your browser to compromise your system since by proxy (the fact that it has administrative rights) it leaves a gaping hole in the way you operate.
