I had heard about the JS runtime restriction (which is why I was interested if Opera had avoided it somehow), but never heard about the JIT restriction. Is the JIT disabled for all third party apps?

I was going to make a joke about Soviet app stores, but realized this isn't the place.

The JIT restriction is because the OS won't let you mark data pages as executable for security reasons (Safari, as a trusted app, is the only exception).

EDIT: changed wording for clarity

Thanks for clarifying. I learned something new today.
