Opera's anti-phishing works by checking a remote database as well, nothing needed to be stored on your computer.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say so I'll try to clarify my statement:
Webwise cannot check phishing urls that use https because of where it sits in the network.
Other solutions (such as those built into IE/Firefox/Opera) can and do check phishing urls that use https.
Webwise uses a remote database of phishing urls so doesn't suffer from lag in updates. However Firefox's system optionally uses a remote database as well so is just as good. I don't know about Opera's system so can't comment.
