Many sites have different ad-promoting methods, like opening an ad in a new tab and many sites able detect that I'm using ad blocker. At the time, GX ad blocker wasn't able to do anything. But I saw a browser, they were able to fix this trick (Brave)

I have never been able to completely save and restore settings with Opera.
I have never been able to completely transfer my settings to another computer.
Recently I had to transfer settings and passwords to my wife's computer.
She uses Firefox. It was simple and easy.
I used to use Firefox, but honestly I prefer Opera.
It is no longer an issue. I am tired of putting up with Opera's issues with back up and restore.
I am moving back to Firefox.
I also do not appreciate the need to agree to receive emails, just to log into this forum.
I will be immediately blocking all Opera emails and will shortly delete this account if possible.
I am not alone with this issue, but Opera seems to not care.
Too bad for you. Goodbye and good riddance! -

I love opera, but if I can't have ecosia as my browser, I won't use it.... I find it quite absurd that many people have been asking the same question for years on this forum, but yet, you have taken no notice apparently.

@redenegue you did realise you can cancel that opera forum start-up message and you're still logged in?

i dunno why the programmers are adding stuff noone cares about and messing with things that ppl like. it doesnt make sense. if something works leave it alone. noone cares about a loud splash screen where you have to run and turn your volume down.. get rid of it..this is rediculous

I don't know if it's true that the contributors to the Opera forum are really the most ignorant, vulgar and low-class of any browser forum contributors, but I've seen enough. Opera is my preferred browser, but I've had enough of these low-life jackasses. Generally, I'm against censorship, but the Opera forum is what happens when no one takes any account of what is posted here.Goodbye forum. I've seen enough--too much--of you, and I am happily closing this unpleasant chapter of my viewing experience.

I just decided to revive a Dell Optiplex I had laying around. I upgraded it to 8GB and added an SSD. Brand new install of Windows 7 Ultimate fulled updated, decided to go with Opera as browser.
I was very disappointed to find that, when playing YouTube videos, even at 480 and standard viewing size, the video was very choppy. It looked like a slide show. There are no extensions whatsoever, no virus programs, etc.
I immediately installed Chrome and the same videos play perfectly at 1080, even full screen. So the claim about the performance advantage over Chrome just isn't true.

Hi I didn't know you had to pay for an add-on to left click and translate a web page. Maybe I didn't use the right app. Opera is perfect, but if there is no native web page translation.... it won't go far. You offer AI from everywhere, and how sad was I when I had to use ggole to translate a web page.... It's a shame everything else is perfect. Is it me who's wrong, or is it like that?

It's sad to admit but opera is just... bad
Why? you may ask, well I switched to opera around 3 years ago, I saw a few advertisements and decided I should try it. Before opera I used avast secure browser.
I noticed that one of the most important functions that opera didn't have was: (even with the avast security extension) was blocking popping up tabs. Some websites open a tabs with viruses when you click anything, it's not about the viruses beacouse antiviruses will deal with them quickly, you just have to close a tab every second
After 2 years of usage something started happening
Opera started crashing, not just crashing but displaying a black screen that you can't interact with. I was closed out of my browser for days, sometimes even weeks. At this point Im just tired of it, that is why I'm leaving opera, won't come back propably

Good bye Opera !! I switched to you when Microsoft Edge started using versions in the lower 100's a few years ago. Edge would no longer cohabitate with my Internet Security Suite on different computers and failed to load in a reasonable time if at all. I really enjoyed Opera but the constant updates without having any control over them just like Chrome drive me crazy - so its time for me to move on.
