Teatimer autodecides on a lot of decisions now,so less techy users should not have as much of a problem with it.
A bit about it here,though you have to really look for the part about tt:

I remember also that tt was not checked by default when Spybot was being installed on older versions,though I can't remember for sure or not whether that is the case with the newer version.

This is a list of nearly half a million decisions TeaTimer will make for the user. Nearly the same amount still awaits help regarding rating, which means about half of decisions should be automated.
Any suggestions on how to get people participate in that rating would be very welcome, we're all not really the publicity/advertising guys
But I think I've written elsewhere that the user-decision-on-unknown will be an optional thing in 2.0. Every monitoring module in there has a flag that could be toggled between the two, though I think it will just be an all or nathing decision, with nothing (only reporting bad items) being default.
As for Opera, there will probably never would have been "the time" to start immunizing, since every file format change may break compatibility.
(any objection on moving this to the beta part? 1.6.1 is closed, so this affects 2.0, even if it isnt "TeaTimer" at all there, but a completely new on-access instead of near-time part)

None at all. I actually tried to start this thread in the beta section, and didn't have access (shows you how long it's been since I've beta tested here).
Also note that while TeaTimer has come a long way, it's still not ready for the average user's computer. I know people who, even though they know better, still wind up answering the TeaTimer questions wrong. It's not ready for the average user until it doesn't ask questions at all.

Well, you could have a rating system a bit like WOT (Web of Trust) on each dialog, but the consequences for a mis-rated entry would be far more dear. In this case, I would agree that we want quality over quantity. I do actually agree with GT500, Teatimer is great for 'us' techies and has improved a whole great deal, but I do regularly see people clicking the wrong option.
The Teatimer module in v2.0 that PepiMK describes sounds great
Part of me agrees with you, but I got bored of all the popups so I just disabled it.
Well, I was tempted to port that switch to decide which actions to cover back to 1.6, but the new release was just too close and testing of the various browser things difficult enough.
Will hurry up on the 2.0 road though
