      Not sure where this goes. I just started using Opera and every time I get an email or Face book friends post link I click it and Chrome opens and displays it not Opera. How do I set Opera to be the browser to open links? Thank you.

        Make sure Opera is set as default. On my system everything works fine.

            My daughter sends me links though AIM messenger and on Facebook chat or if I get a link in a trusted email and I click them it opens my chrome browser which I stopped using so I could use Opera. Now I don't know how to make Opera my default sorry still working my way around in Opera.
            Thank you guys for all the advise.

              You should be able to do it in Settings.

                I went to settings and gives me choices yes but it only lists Google Chrome as Web Browser not Opera? I don't know how to upload a screen shot of what I see into here sorry.

                  Oh never mind my daughter's friend just showed me how to do it. I had to click on the Chrome and then it gave me more choices which showed Opera so I did it and clicked a link and it worked. Sorry and thank you.
