Opera updates in Vista/XP?

It wasn't Opera's decision either, it was the Chromium project who dropped XP and Vista support with Chromium 50, which meant that all Chromium-based browsers had to drop support too. Slimjet managed to produce an XP/Vista compatible browser with Chromium 50, but then even they gave up.

I don't want to upgrade my stuff but still want to be able to upgrade my stuff.
Somehow the argument doesn't really hold up when you put it in its simplest terms.

Yes, it does.
You know a story about a programmer's wife?
She said: "Go buy a loaf of bread; if there are eggs there, take a dozen."
Guess what?
You doesn't seem to be a programmer's wife's husband

I eventually installed it this morning.
**.65("36.0.2130.65 - Opera is up to date").
This question: what is the exact package of Opera 36? Do we have this built-in adblocker here? No VPN, as I recall (Ah! Turbo's here! :yes: ). -

It is indeed 36.0.2130.80 which at the moment is the latest version for XP and Vista.
No built-in Adblock or VPN, they were both added in later versions.

No, it uses Chromium 49, which is the last to support XP and Vista.
Security patches have been applied subsequently, but whether this still leaves it less secure than the current version is unknown.

blackbird71 last edited by"Unknown" is a reality XP users will have to increasingly live with going forward (unless they've tweaked their system to ID as an XP-POS version, and even then there remain some uncertainties since only kiosk/commercial-related issues are being patched in the POS version). Identified but unpatched security vulnerabilities continue to accumulate for the OS and in many no-longer-updated application programs for XP, so XP users would be wise to make sure they've got other layers of security and the practice of safe-hex solidly in place. I'd also advise several sound, verified drive-image backups on removable media, renewed frequently in a cyclic manner. It's the simplest way to get 'back home' to a safe point before when bad things happen to the OS.

Would you mind elaborating on that in my "Should I stay?" or "Backing up your Data" in the Lounge? I would love some advice which type of "removable media" is better to use - for frequent and extensive backups.

Hello -- does the xp/vista version get flashplayer updates? -- I know that when I go to the
flashplayer download page, I get a download, but after it runs, it runs IE at that end of the
upadate process -- even thought opera is my default browser -
