@t1019 Performance disadvantage - and need for double action if you wan't to disable adblocker for some sites.
I personally keep AdBlock only to easily cut off annoying parts of pages, no block lists used there. Opera internal ad-blocker is likely faster too (although I don't have any metric).

@daretoeatapeach That's how it was designed to work. If you want to keep the opened tabs of a workspace for the next session, you can't close its window.

@MrTeatime said in Why Create New Versions of Opera Instead of Adding Features to One?:

Hi Opera team!
I have a question about your browser development strategy. Currently, there are several versions of Opera, such as Opera GX, Opera Air, and Opera Neon. I’m wondering why you choose to create separate versions of the browser with unique features instead of implementing these solutions as options in a single, main version of Opera.
For example, the features available in Opera Air could just as well be introduced as a "focus mode" in the standard version of Opera. Could you explain what benefits this approach brings both to you and to users?
Thanks, and looking forward to your thoughts!

Hi! 👋
Thanks for the clear explanation! Your answer really helped me understand why separate versions exist—it makes sense for users who want specialized features without cluttering the main browser. Appreciate the insight!

Edit 'Local State' using a text editor and change the country code in the following line:
"location":{"country":"br","country_from_server":"br"},
It should help.

I can just imagine what that will be like. 😞 Opera touch does not handle landscape orientation very well. nor is it especially good on larger screens (tablets). I have a "2-in 1" (tablet with attached folding keyboard) and I did try Touch, but stick to the regular browser. (Besides - I think he wants to connect his phone and Chromebook, you can't connect Touch on two separate devices - only Touch to desktop.)

I've seen the ID there also. About the url I've found by accident, when clicking on a tab there's a "copy page address", so you can get the URL even if it is an addon.

Upon reading your two other posts, I take back my question. It seems you're just a general malcontent. You've submitted a string of complaints about a very feature-rich browser that is new to you, and that you haven't taken the time to learn about.

Complaints about the browser being inadequate to relieve your bile, you turn to criticizing the way Opera operates its forum, too? You look more like a troll than someone sincerely searching for answers.

Hi @starlighthustle, go toopera:settings/keyboardShortcuts> Find next, and remove F3. You can use e.g. "Ctrl+G", or add a new custom key combination for this feature.

It's really not Opera's fault. The Windows 10 issues might be because you have Windows 10 Creator's Update (build 1703 or above) installed. I had no problems with Opera on Windows 10 until the moron at the repair shop installed Creators Update on my laptop without asking me what was my original OS. So I'm stuck with it since I have no way of rolling back to good old Win 10 1607. 😢 Creators Update is the worst version of Windows that I've had. And I've been through plenty of them.
