@joana39 Do you have a screenshot? The page saying that Opera was updated opens ina regular tab and doesn't prevent anyone from using Opera.

@leocg i really appreciate all your help but i don't have a camera or a phone that takes pictures..this whole thing from it telling me it was updated to wanting me to download opera one takes up the whole page and even more if i keep scrolling with opera telling me all the good things about opera one..i can't get rid of those pages to use the browser as intended..i'm really sorry for being such a pain but i can't use opera with all this on my screen and not being able to delete it all...

@leocg what it should be doing isnt doing it because the update being done and wanting me to download opera one is taking up the whole page plus more pages telling me about opera one if i keep scrolling...those pages won't go away and i need them to so i can use opera as my browser...

@joana39 You can take the screenshot on the computer. Press PrintScreen key or check if there is a key with a camera on your keyboard.

You can also use Opera's snapshot tool or Windows snapshot tool.

@joana39 Yep, that page should only loads when there is an update. Don't know why it's not working that way for you.

@joana39 Unless you are using Opera GX or a very old version of Opera, you may already have Opera One

What version of Opera do you have?

@leocg i have no idea, all it said was opera..but when i get the page telling me that opera was updated successfully, it also wants me to download opera one which i really don't want to do..i was happy with just good old opera...i'm old and am not computer savvy at all...

@joana39 You can check your Opera version in opera://about or in opera://version.
