Opera & media type plugins?

On the 9500.....
Is it possible to get the opera browser to be a bit more friendly in being able to dynamically install plugins (It says it accepts them in the settings), so that It can receive streams (video & audio) seamlessly, eg when going to a news site like the BBC or a movie sites like RottenTomatoes, & then the streams play either embedded in the page, or launch an external player.

Talking of which, do better media players & internet browsers exist? (Ones that supprt a wider range of file formats, including windows media. & real audio, etc... including their re-direct files, like: .ram .asx etc.

It is possible to install a plugin. The problem is getting the plugin you want. Opera would be the one who you would have to contact but I dont think they would just make a plugin unless many people requested for it. Realplayer plays .ram files. I havent found any other browsers yet that support more file types.
