How do I get back to the old Opera?

@tenorlove I'm in the same boat. Lost everything when I opened Opera to find a surprise update with all my settings missing even after I logged into my account. I'm looking at alternatives.

Have Opera themselves weighed in on this matter?
Do they know?
Do they care?

And is there even a place where they qill pay attention to their alienated users?

@danielderstolle where can i find it? I have been checking in Opera software/opera Stable and the only update file i can find it is a notepad, which is blank

@mm-sec his solution worked for me. No uninstalling, just updating to the version he linked. Be careful because that is temporary, the auto updater will do it again, you have to disable it. He provides also a solution which i hadn't tried yet, and i have seen more around. Let's see if we are able to disable the updater...

Thanks.
I managed to restore it for now - I renamed Default.old in Default and vice versa, and everything showed up, but the folder has already been renamed in Default.old again.
