@fin-tech Norton says that Opera is supported? They need to add support for Opera.
How does Opera make money?

An excerpt from a good article about just that topic:
"More interestingly, Opera only makes money through three revenue sources. The main one is a deal with two search engines. Yandex is the default search engine in Russia, and Google is the default search engine in the rest of the world. As the company’s user base grows, partners pay more money to remain the default search engine.

“A small number of business partners contribute a significant portion of our revenues,” the company writes in its F-1 document. “In 2017, our top two largest business partners in aggregate contributed approximately 56.1% of our operating revenue, with Google and Yandex accounting for 43.2% and 12.9% of our operating revenue, respectively.”"

Hey I know this topic is a bit older, but im still very interested in hearing about your experience!

Has this trend continued and have you felt/encountered this sentiment somewhere other than the news?

Out of curiosity, which browser was ahead, before it was removed?

@peterdeep Just beware that the tab you have defined in the workspace are not pinned, saved or archived. Keep only one opera window open. If you drag a tab out and create two opera windows. Close the first. The second one now will have nothing in the other workspaces including the one you are in. When you close this second window and then subsequently reopen Opera all your workspaces will be gone. Viola! Not a feature in my mind.

Time ago that was related to WiDevine,
Here:

Try to update the engine from the Browser (sometimes doesn't work)
chrome://components
If not, you can try installing an Opera StandAlone version and test there.

If works, copy the WiDevine from USB folder to your current Installation.

Paths on Tip.

Anesidora doesn't work either?

@sgunhouse Thank you for the prompt responses indeed. At the same time, I don't think going back and forth with details is a constructive approach here. I think I have described the issue in full. Anyone with Facebook and Opera is free to check that with a couple of clicks.

Hi @sgunhouse , thanks for the reply.

You can check the source of information (Overview in this case) by clicking on i button. I would really appreciate if you could specifically point out the changes required so as to better reflect Opera. You may also open a PR by editing this file.

Not sure. Maybe in the first post I felt like writing in some odd verbose manner just to wax poetically?

I do hate giving up on Opera. I was talking to another computer blog guy and he suggested looking into the investors. Perhaps they are investors who I share a kindred spirit with for human rights, etc. If so - I could keep Opera. Hm?

@blackbird71

At least that's a logical reason, whether one agrees or not. Why not have simply said that in your earlier posts?

I have dipped in and out of Opera for years now And I've just started using it on a more permanent basis.... As far as I'm concerned ( and I'm not really) it's the lesser evil. Maybe their halo has slipped a bit, but compared to some of the other browsers it's positively angelic

plugins features configurable enforced user options

@josephmanderley

Naturally it appeared as if I had clicked "yes I would love to see this even though I clicked NO

what is your os? it didn't happen to me on macOS. you can report a bug.

I have disabled it in the settings but it still appears on the top bar

I had the same thing. this should be a feature request. it looks like a ui design mistake.

Speed Dial suggestions coming back on whenever they want to

again I never had this problems in macos. I believe it's a windows specific thing, so I'm not sure if it's because of opera. did you disable receive promoted speed dials and bookmarks and show speed dial suggestions. this is not an issue on macos version. please try reporting a bug.

Google had a similar stance too. They promote adblockers that block ads from others except their own. They just make the point that their ads are non-intrusive.

I don't think your comment was appropriate but I have stated the facts of my "experience" with Opera both in the past and present. I am not seeking attention just stating my comments. As for Opera it is now only on one computer, in the household and when/if it gets removed permanently from that one too I will cease to have need to write to this forum.
