@leocg I just, noticed, but in profile menu of browser it says "Snyncronizing...", but right under it it says "data of your choise is synceronized". Maybe something stop browser from syncing? Is there any public IP/domain name for bookmarks syncing i can ping to check it?
@guil300 Opera doesn't have a homepage, you can add a button to open start page/speed dial by enabling the option in the start page section of the settings page.
@generosus It does not, in fact, show up with hover on all machines. I now have so-called 'better' browser on all my personal and work machines and cannot close any of the darn tabs without fully opening them or using a right click. I am seriously looking at other browsers (and this after I got special permissions from my employer to even use Opera!) Argh! we need a FIX #moderator #fixourtabs
I got it! Apparently, Opera has a limit to number of bookmarks in Speed Dial. When you reach this limit, Opera starts to behave as I described in opening post. Moving some folders with bookmarks (I had plenty) from Speed Dial to regular bookmarks storage resolved the issue.
@sigvaldi I'd keep a close eye on things going forward. It's very good that both full scans came up clean, but sometimes sites can become infected with malware that only periodically attempts to whack visitors by design (to better prevent ready complaints/detection)... just keep an eye on things, since it appears Defender can handle this one if it does come through.
