@leocg

Let's try this again:

I am a survey panel member (which means that I receive daily invitations to take part in them) and I access the survey links using Opera.

Sometimes, the survey disclaimer states that an add-on needs to be installed. At one time, opera:plugins would have accessed plug-ins and the Extensions tab would have accessed extensions only.

However, since opera:plugins is no longer functional, I am asking if 'Extensions' is where I would find the installed add-ons so that I can delete them after the survey is complete.

Again, I ask: Are Add-ons and Extensions listed together in the Extensions tab?

reporting issue how to

Posting about your problem

After have done the steps above and confirmed that the problem is most probably in Opera, it's time to post about it.

Start the topic with a title that briefly describe the problem so people will know about what this is about.
Don't try to explain all the problem in the title.

Use tags to make it easy for other users to find posts about similar issues. If posting about Opera Mail then add the 'Opera Mail' tag

Try to not use more than three tags

In the post (body) you should include the following information:

Your OS (Linux, Mac, Windows)

Your version of Opera

If the problem is with a page, a link to it

A screen-shot of the problem if it's related to something not showing as should

A description of the problem, including as much as information as possible

Steps to (try to) reproduce the issue

Expected behavior and actual one

Do not use caps on your post. There aren't and there never will be reasons to use caps.

cpu ram high usage

@alexweefs Having hundreds of tabs opened don't make you a heavy user, it just shows that you may have some difficult in closing the tabs that you open.

Back to the issue, use shift + esc to open the internal task manager and check if there is some process using that much CPU, RAM, whatever.

By the way, version 65 is two years old, not that recent.

@mark-ak It seems that you were caught by a phishing page.

Opera updates are automatic by default and you will only receive a notification in the menu asking for you to restart Opera to install an update, at most. As far as I know, Opera doesn't show any pages telling you that an update is needed.

If the antivirus didn't find anything, you are probably safe, but remove the suspicious files.

With the new update ads from youtube videos are no longer blocked and they pop up at the start of videos.
I tried this on 2 different computers. Bring back that feature to block everything or I will move to the edge

@josuegrs Same as for Fruitbat56, I've simply updated to 79 and BitWarden was back at its place in the sidebar. Can you check if it's visible under "sidebar options" -> "sidebar extenstions"? (the three dots at the bottom of the sidebar).

@bdoubleu If I just type the IP address of my router or printer, for example, I can connect to them without any issues.
if I manually add https:// in front of the address, I get a page with a message saying that my connection isn't secure but clicking on help me understand gives me an option to continue.
