Opera certainly does support addons (they're just called Widgets instead of addons ;o) ), and indirectly supports AX (indirectly being, aslong as it's in the pages source code - Microsoft's download site works just fine in Opera ;o) ).
Even had it not supported AX and addons, WOT could still be used if the WOT dev's switched to using Ajax or such, injected into the page's source code, to display the dialog (I'll have to check how they're doing it now).
As an addendum, I previously asked Sami about adding support for Opera, and the following was her reply;
[BEGIN]
We are aware of Opera's widgets, but they are very limited compared to real add-ons in other browsers.
For example, while the latest widget specification finally allows preferences to be stored locally, widgets still cannot be integrated to the browser's user interface, nor can they access the DOM for websites you are browsing. In fact, I'm not even sure if a widget can tell which website you are visiting.
Therefore, using the widget API for creating a full add-on for Opera isn't really feasible at the moment.
[END]
Have you contacted Opera software directly? I found them very helpful in creating information for my two web sites Internet Security 4 com and Internet Security 4 Free co uk they also put me onto a Danish internet security company which I have found very useful.

I cannot answer your question YoKenny but I would like to return the merry christmas and a happy new year to you.And all who visit the forum.From mr and mrs Codhead,.Its raining were I live by the way.Never see much snow wich is a pitty for the kids.
While there may not be enough Opera users out there to justify the time and effort for the WOT staff to write a usable widget for Opera, my sense is that it could be done, and I'll echo YoKenny's request: Anybody know?
Yes, I'd be using Opera too IF I could have the same add ons that I've become accustomed to using in FF. Seems like Opera could capture a lot of FF users (and hence a greater market share) if they made it so that FF add ons could be imported.
In fact, I read somewere that a lot of FF features and add ons are based on Opera's functionality.

WoT can be used in Internet Explorer (@cheater87), and I like the Opera bookmarklet that g7w commented, but I hope Against Institution finds a way how to implement it into Opera.
This should be included in the Wiki for opera. Maybe in the Customizing the add-on section with a new page devoted to Opera - Customized UserJS
Also, this post mentions changing from French to English...

What about down loadable
Wed 06 Aug 2008 01:27:59 AM UTC — Cheater87What about down loadable like for IE???
Re: What about down loadable
Wed 06 Aug 2008 10:06:44 AM UTC — SamiOpera doesn't support extensions and I don't think the widget API is powerful enough to create an add-on.

Small browser in a big market
Mon 22 Dec 2008 11:17:02 AM UTC — phantazmAs far as I recall Opera only has 1% of the market.
Then again, 1% of a global market is still a lot...
PS: I'd probably be using Opera, if FF didn't exist...
Agreed

Opera 10 works wonders on my old PIII and is much faster than FF.
Why I want WoT in Opera 10
Thu 15 Jan 2009 02:46:10 PM UTC — YoKennyI can view the New Items directly which I can not do in IE8
-18C and brisk NW wind making it feel like -35C
Brrrrrrrr
I know.
Sun 18 Jan 2009 02:10:35 PM UTC — Toptiger5It would be cool to have that. Also, in Google Chrome and Safari.
That way, the "Big 5" browsers can have WOT.
