      Version 52.0.2871.37 No extensions installed
      WIN7 Ultimate. Lean and mean

      Hello!
      New to Opera. Been testing for a while. Love it so far.

      I notice Backspace button does not do anything.
      Should it go back one page ?

      Also, is there no way to create a shortcut onto desktop?
      (One of my favorite functions in FF):

      VPN observation:
      Tracking server hops, it seems to go via a dozen servers or so, some labeled 'Residential' some 'Business' some not labeled.
      Is this what I should expect ?

      IP address only changes by last 4 digits when selecting different geo locations.

      Many thanks
      N

        Go to settings > shortcuts > configure shortcuts

        Find "back", click "type a shortcut", press backspace, done.

          @ngram Backspace does nothing in Chrome too. As said, you can set your own shortcut.

          Regarding VPN, the third set of numbers on the IP is what determine the location.

            @smnstrk Thanks. An unusual protocol, I did see the shortcut option in settings, never occurred to me you had to create the function.

              Thanks for response.
              Regarding Chrome backspace, there is a Chrome extension called
              'Go Back With Backspace' which works well.
