You said Opera 12 ... the browser is several years old, and the security certificates have probably expired in that time. I have seen discussion of updating them - but you have to ask whether you trust the person posting the update.
The Wall Street Journal lists Opera ASA as having 985 employees ( http://quotes.wsj.com/NO/OPERA ). Obviously, only a smallish fraction would be developers, and only a sub-fraction of those would be focused on the desktop browser versions.
Well, I never knew that! It does help, although it also renders the text very small on the folders list on the left, or if you switch to list view. Like you I mostly use list view, think I'll stick with it.
PC has been running since Dec 13, 2014 without restart. Opera has only one profile and any cache hasn't been cleared AFAIK.
Is there any actual file to check for history?
Thanks.
Thank you!! Going to Google.com and setting the zoom back to 100% took care of it. I had no idea that Opera saved such parameters on a per-website basis. And I also find it somewhat alarming that Opera does actually keep a record somewhere of the websites that I've visited even I empty the cache after leaving each website. Is there a way to delete all those records?
Yes. Just click the Opera button at the top left and open the Settings, you now select Websites in the sidebar and the options related to plug-ins will appear.
