      I don't want to upgrade my stuff but still want to be able to upgrade my stuff.

      Somehow the argument doesn't really hold up when you put it in its simplest terms.

        Yes, it does.

        You know a story about a programmer's wife?
        She said: "Go buy a loaf of bread; if there are eggs there, take a dozen."
        Guess what?
        You doesn't seem to be a programmer's wife's husband 😛

          I eventually installed it this morning. **.65 ("36.0.2130.65 - Opera is up to date").
          This question: what is the exact package of Opera 36? Do we have this built-in adblocker here? No VPN, as I recall (Ah! Turbo's here! :yes: ).

            It's. 80 if I remember correctly.

            Do we have this built-in adblocker here

            I don't think so.

              It is indeed 36.0.2130.80 which at the moment is the latest version for XP and Vista.
              No built-in Adblock or VPN, they were both added in later versions.
              🙂

              Still in mourning for Opera 12.........

                  No, it uses Chromium 49, which is the last to support XP and Vista.
                  Security patches have been applied subsequently, but whether this still leaves it less secure than the current version is unknown.

                    "Unknown" is a reality XP users will have to increasingly live with going forward (unless they've tweaked their system to ID as an XP-POS version, and even then there remain some uncertainties since only kiosk/commercial-related issues are being patched in the POS version). Identified but unpatched security vulnerabilities continue to accumulate for the OS and in many no-longer-updated application programs for XP, so XP users would be wise to make sure they've got other layers of security and the practice of safe-hex solidly in place. I'd also advise several sound, verified drive-image backups on removable media, renewed frequently in a cyclic manner. It's the simplest way to get 'back home' to a safe point before when bad things happen to the OS.

                      Would you mind elaborating on that in my "Should I stay?" or "Backing up your Data" in the Lounge? I would love some advice which type of "removable media" is better to use - for frequent and extensive backups.

                            The latest Opera for Vista and XP is 36.0.2130.80, which you can download here.
                            Use the setup file.

                                  Totally off-topic but just click on 'Start a new discussion' when in the forum in which you'd like to post. It's pretty easy.

                                      Opera doesn't come with Flash.

                                            How long do you guys plan to support XP?

                                            Firefox is dropping XP support this year. This would make Opera the only browser with XP support in the market.

                                            If Opera could keep up XP support for as long as possible, that would be great.
