      That is a menu. It should be the same size as any other menu.

        Thank you for your response sgunhouse.

        Any suggestions on how to change the font size in the MENU? I would like to make the menu fonts larger.

          You can't. You can try change Windows DPI and/or font size.

            https://www.popsci.com/cleaning-with-bleach-might-increase-your-chance-getting-copd-how-worried-should-you-be?con=TrueAnthem&dom=fb&src=SOC&utm_campaign&utm_content=59e1f66a3ed3f00007bfae8a&utm_medium&utm_source

            and the annoying 'share' buttons obscure the text.

            windows 10, 48.0.2685.39 (PGO) - Opera is up to date
            Update stream: Stable
            System: Windows 10 64-bit (WoW64)

            how to fix this?

                  is the link truncated by this forum.

                  if you copy & paste the whole link i pasted, it gets the page i see.

                      You mean the bookmark's bar?

                        I have been using Chrome for my browser. I installed Opera and went to Google.com and signed into my google account so I could check my email. All of a sudden all of my Chrome settings and bookmarks were applied to Opera without me telling Opera to import anything.

                          Although you didn't ask anything, I say that Opera import data from default browser doing installation.

                            I use opera with VPN and it works quite well however it does not mask my ID from my Internet Provider. Is there a way?

                            Thanks

                                  You don't need to shout.

                                  What sites can see your real IP address? It's not exactly impossible for a site to know that you are using a VPN and also know your IP.

                                      Opera doesn't have a torrent client for its VPN to work on. Opera's VPN works only in Opera.

                                        You should probably either install a VPN extension into Opera, or even a VPN proxy at the system level for a dedicated torrent browser to use, and download using that.

                                            I have Opera 48 on a Windows 7 Professional 64bit platform. I want to open PDF files in my default PDF reader. I have gone in to Advanced settings and checked the box to allow this, but I still get the Download pop-up rather than opening in my reader.

                                            It's getting quite annoying to have to download every PDF when 98% of the time, I just need to open it and read it. And, no, I don't want to open it in a web browser window.

                                            I have tried the various work-around methods suggested online, but no joy.

                                            Any info anyone can share as to how to simply open PDF's in my Foxit Reader? Works great on Firefox but not Opera and I really don't want to go back to Firefox.
