@raphaelbm They should have updated to this: https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2023/10/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_24.html

@burnout426 Yes, that is part of the answer which I was seeking, pertaining to if or where the four things which one must tick off, that is uncheck, when installing a manually downloaded update. Thank you, Burnout426. But what about the cookie setting which one much get past when downloading the update? Can one check if that is in effect too? One must either accept (the apparent default) or not cookies (click it off, if desired), to download. There is opera://settings/cookies but I do not see anything in that which seems to correspond to one's acceptance of them or rejection as accepted in order to download.

Not sure what you're referring to. Have a pic?

Hello, my opera is lagging a bit when i even just scroll GX control. It didnt lag before and i even left more space for ram and cpu.
Is it just me getting this problem or something is up ?

@burnout426 I cannot upload either a PDF or a pic, sorry. Basically, when one attempts to download from this page: https://www.opera.com/download the first thing which one must do is get past the cookies acceptance pop-up:

Cookies

Accept cookies Manage cookies
You either click Accept cookies (the default in blue) or Manage cookies (wherein one can not accept them):

We recommend accepting these cookies, which include third-party cookies, for the improvement of our products and everyone’s experience. These cookies contribute to statistics and the measurement of marketing campaigns.

Accept selection  [Then you accept your selection.]

So my question is what happens to these choices--where can one check up on them, in Opera similar to the place in opera://settings/privacy/consentFlow which shows the four checkbox choices made to install the download.

I am not allowed to upload a Pic/PDF image, apparently.

@xb70 You should be able to upload images, as long as they aren't bigger than the allowed size.

@leocg I was denied, with "not enough privileges, " so I may have attempted to upload a PDF too large, and the image attempt went, but it was no good.

@xb70 The cookies acceptance dialog is shown just once in the first time you are visiting a page and only when you are visiting a page.

@xb70 You can't upload PDFs, only images

@leocg I have never seen that, for general page visits, only for the Opera download page:
https://www.opera.com/download

@xb70 Either you don't visit pages where such question about cookies is required or you don't live where it is required, most probably.

@leocg I have been referring to Opera's pop-up which one must get past to download the new update/version. That is all, not to general website's cookie notices, etc. Yes, I get those, but not from Opera, rather from the site.

@xb70 You mean the one in the installer?

@leocg https://www.opera.com/download If you visit this page, before being allowed to select a version to download, one must get past an Opera pop-up whose contents I copied above, about six posts ago, only after which, one is allowed to proceed to select and download the update/version.

@xb70 I just checked the page again and got that cookies acceptance pop-up that is just a regular one, like any other that you get on any other page.

@xb70 By the way, I only got that pop-up because i opened the page in private window. If I open it in a regular tab, I don't see it since I already accepted cookies from that page before.

@leocg Okay, now I understand. It isn't about the download process, just about if I am accepting Opera's cookies for that page! So naturally, I will not have any kind of correspondence in my Opera browser's setting. Thank your for persevering with my misunderstanding. Now I get it. I guess that I am so paranoid about Opera setting cookies or not, that I jumped to the conclusion that that pop-up had something to do with downloading the update/version. It is simply a common page cookie acceptance/or not thing, and has no implication for the download and installation of Opera.

@xb70 That's normal and has nothing to do with the installer and nothing to do with the downloads specifically. It's the Opera site that shows that per EU regulations. You can get that by going to just https://www.opera.com. Lots of sites show the prompt due to EU regulations.

Your choice for that prompt is stored in a cookie for opera.com. While on opera.com, hit ctrl + shift + i to open the developer tools, switch to the "Application" tab (hidden by ">>"), left-click on "Cookies" in the left-hand pane to expand it, select cookies for https://www.opera.com/, and look at the cookie_consent_essential cookie and its value. Same with the cookie_consent_marketing cookie and its value.

So, as long as you don't clear your opera.com cookies, you won't get that prompt every time.

You can of course just download the installers from https://ftp.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/ for example if you want.

@burnout426 I routinely manually clear all cookies upon shutdown every night wherever Windows tries to hide them--I am aware of three such folders, so not an issue. I was just being way paranoid about Opera's desire to set cookies. My bad.

I have installed 104.0.4944.33 on my second Windows 10/64 computer, and it went without loss of personalization. FWIW.
