@Phasewaves You don't have to sync open tabs if you don't want to. When you enable xync, you can choose what to sync - so don't sync tabs. After that first sync you could then re-enable tabs if you wish.
@leocg -it is unprofessional to make someone poke around a website for several minutes to find out the current version of a program when so many Companies list their latest versions along with which Operating System that the Latest Version belongs to!
@ameeer567 Hello Ameeer567. I had been through numerous options, Opera being one of them and could not stop it happening. It only started after a recent Opera update, hence me suspecting it was an Opera problem. I did eventually find the problem in 'setting', but why it should switch itself on without my intervention.
Anyway, sorted now and thanks for your reply.
