Introducing Opera 102

My bug report message two days ago was to ask that they withdraw the update until fixed. Seems like the right thing to do, rather than leave some users at risk.

@gmiazga: I use Opera in three different computers, Laptop, Work and Home and it happened in all of them. The same exact problem.
Also I hope you take this opportunity to finally fix the old problem in your installer, I get the offline installer and many times it starts downloading I don't know WTF is it downloading and ends up in error after I force close it, than run again.
I've reported this for years, has happened since at least 2016 or 2015. Windows 10 and 11.

@spike666 Besides, the point is, that after an update I should not have to do it.

All data includes extensions. Go back to 101....58 after uninstalling 102....16 "Opera One," or attempt the "manual data transfer," described above. I will wait for a version without problems. Opera's QC is poor. Fair warning.

@xb70 I moved back to Firefox, as of this morning. I miss some features, but for now it'll do.

@sklunk Thanks a lot, After auto update to version 102 all of my speed dials, browsing history, and passwords are gone. It also logs out from all the previous sites to which I have a login, but with your method, I can restore my previous settings. Thanks again to you. Is there any way to stop opera automatic updates?

Having rolled back to V101 yesterday and speed tabs and book marks restored (RESULT!) Auto update took me back to V102 overnight and sigh - no bookmarks and totally auto generated ( and useless ) speed tabs.
Uninstalled V102 again - being careful not to select the uninstall Opera data tick box. and reinstalled V101 again and everything works.
Wondering if Opera will fix this shambles, or if this will become a daily ritual, or my patience will snap and I will follow the growing trend and switch to FireFox?
Any chance of a helpful comment from anybody on the Opera team around this ongoing Farrago with V.102 ??

Download opera 101 link here Download Opera 101 from https://get.geo.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/ Remember to virus check the downloaded software .
On Windows: Go to control panel - programmes and features - select and uninstall Opera, - being careful not to select the uninstall Opera data tick box.
Once this process is complete.
Run the V101 download link that you downloaded earlier and all data should be restored!

@celticcross That was lucky; I'm still in hack had to reset again this morning and sadly, very sadly unless the Opera team come up with a solution (or suspend the auto update) thinking of Firefox

@celticperson Updates on Linux and Mac were flawless. On Windows I just installed the new version over 101. No problems either.
Firefox to me looks like riding a dying horse. If were to leave Opera behind, Iād take Brave or Edge, or even Vivaldi to retain that old Opera feeling, I suppose.

Oh for f***k sake, stop the autoupdate until you fix this mess. For two days now I have to uninstall 102 version, install 101 version and over the night it gets autoupdated and I'm again without everything. And then repeat the process until autoupdate destroys everything again.
Total incompetence. I get that some bug managed to avoid testing, but you know about the problem for over two days now and autoupdate still updates to this broken update every single day.
Just stop autoupdate, think and test the solution and then roll out a new fixed version.

Horti-Cosmo last edited byI'm not the only one experiencing this? Oh that takes a weight of my chest. I only had the issue this morning, but it has been nothing but frustration ever since. My main concerns are the open tabs and the bookmarks, which I've tried to restore myself with mixed yet promising results.
Do we know if they're going to fix it and return everything to normal or am I going to have to faff around and try (probably fail) to fix it myself?

Couldn't have said the last two paragraphs any better!
Well done -

I hope this is a good lesson on why you must stop the auto-update policy you keep following for so long, before it's too late.

@celticcross I tried Firefox - painfully slow. The comparison to a dying horse is brilliant. Yes, I'm on Edge now. Figuratively speaking as well. Still working to recover all my info that Opera so carelessly wiped out. I think I will put the Opera in storage and wait until they sort it all out and send me instructions as to how to recover what I've lost. I am 67 years old, and surprises like that make me feel homicidal, to say the least.

After update all bookmarks and settings are gone! Work of month! I never had this with previous updates!!
Help! Maybe an older version of Opera I could regain the bookmarks??

Is there a thread in which folks complain about Opera's obnoxious attempts to get us to accept cookies and ads (this despite their other seeming attempts to present themselves as a privacy browser)? First one must click past Manage cookies, eschewing the attempt to allow them during download, then, if installing, again one must deselect four check boxes allowing more ads and cookies. And of course, one's such choices are not remembered. Ugh.
