Hi, you asked

@l33t4opera said in New Opera developer 58:

are you sure it happens only, when you access that site, and it doesn't occur for other websites?

In my previous post i wrote

@loup001 said in New Opera developer 58:

The strange think is it started about 2 - 3 months ago, and only when accessing certains new sites ...

To name them, msn, huffington post.

For sputniknews, that was the very first time this site was accessed from my network. I noticed that something was wrong, after several seconds of the spinning wheel icon running on tab with nothing showing on page.
Furthermore the ip 77.111.246.18 was not an address assign to any of my vpn locations.

@l33t4opera said in New Opera developer 58:
In some cases, it can be misinterpretation (false-positive) of the firewall/router, or simply defective packets, e.g. from already closed session. This may happen usually, when you use P2P software, and many connections are in use at the same time.

I do have a p2p software that i use only to download linux installers and nothing else. I have not used that software for the last year.
My router/firewall is program to block all upd request from wan to lan.

Thank's !

You could be wright.

The strange think is it started about 2 - 3 months ago, and only when accessing certains new sites ...
Anyway those are bening since my firewall/router is blocking those external requests, i am more concern by those not reported.

I guess it's time to install firejail on my system.

Thank's for your reply !

I found this quote in the article to be interesting: "Well, your browser is probably sending some information back to the company that created it, but that information is explicitly used to support the features you have turned on. As long as you trust the developer behind your favorite browser, this isn't an issue." So... as long as I trust the developer behind my browser, this isn't an issue. And therein lies the problem for me and I know for many others.

Thank's again for your time and concern.

lol when i tried to your link: Google Chrome caught discreetly scanning all files on your PC from sputniknews ...
This is the alarm i get from my firewall/router

11/14/2018 14:56:20 TCP FIN Scan 77.111.246.18, 443->> 192.168.2.2, 39132 (from WAN Inbound)
11/14/2018 14:56:20 TCP FIN Scan 77.111.246.18, 443->> xx.xx.xx.xxx, 39128 (from WAN Inbound)
11/14/2018 14:56:20 Vecna Scan 77.111.246.18, 443->> xx.xx.xx.xxx, 39072 (from WAN Inbound)

I don't want to conduct too much off-topic conversation in this thread, so I will only provide you few examples of articles focusing on it:
1. How to monitor your employees' PCs without going too far,
2. Which browser is better for privacy?,
3. Google Chrome caught discreetly scanning all files on your PC,
4. GPU side channel attacks can enable spying on web activity, password stealing.
After you read it, and will still have a feeling, that you want to discus it more deeply, please start a new thread for that purpose, and when I see, that I can give you any helpful reply, I will.

Hi @loup001, you're welcome. In case, that someone would really like to spy on users using web browsers, there are many other ways to do so. I would rather not bother myself too much with that.

If there are "many other ways to spy on users", should we be concerned? It's bad enough that a Chinese consortium now owns the browser and I think that many of us are using it with both hesitation and some concern. Your comment did not reassure me.

"Today’s update contains few fixes:
- Disappearing page content, after using Snapshot tool.
- Invisible bookmark bar drop indicator."

Thank's for reply.

I understoud the benefit of this technology.
I was/am concern about the "spying/profiling" of users from a provider that did not address the discovery from princeton.
Inclusion of this service in opera can be seen as an andorsement of such behavior.

Reputation is so hard to build.

"We’ve got a fresh Opera 58 developer update for you this Monday, with a new novelty in the browser.
 
New tab opening by middle-click

As many of you have requested, we’ve implemented opening a new tab by middle-clicking on a tab area. Now you’re able to open, or close a tab using the middle-click. The difference is just where you middle-click in the tabs bar:
- On a tab to close it,
- Next to a tab (in the empty space) to open a new one.

We’ve also added a nice, new wallpaper. Check it out, along with all the other great ones.
 
Most important fixes:
- Suggestions on the search bar are visible now in the dark mode.
- Pop-ups opened in full screen mode open in new tabs.
- Keyboard shortcuts are again displayed for options in menus.
- Changing the wallpaper from SD’s context menu is not working.
