Why Opera is constantly sending requests for Yandex, Facebook and Google, if I have not opened no tab, and telemetry is disabled in the browser? List of IP can be viewed in the firewall or router?! NO TАBS!!!

@timezer0 Maybe Opera is updating bookmarks and speed dial entries thumbnails...

@sgunhouse What extensions?No external plugins. Only what the browser provides. Check for yourself ....

They are static. I have never changed. And the requests are constant. Try it yourself.

Maybe it's checking things version/resources/default_partner_content.json (and or partner_speeddials.json) in the program files directory. Guess you could test with Wireshark to see the actual requests Opera is making. The port 5228 one might have to do with Google hangouts or something. But, I think that IP is owned by Ritter Communications or something, so I'm not sure.

It happens in a clean profile?

No, not clean, but I don't know what could contaminate it!

@timezer0 which version of Opera you are exactly using? Here are possible legitimate request that could be happening in background:
Yandex - could be Zen news on opera:startpage but used currently on beta and developer in Russia
Facebook - some requests to messenger on sidebar?
Google - widevine updates?

Did you ever went to those sites? Or maybe you went to any site that uses any Facebook or Google service?

@leocg Yes visited, but it can not mean that the site can without the knowledge of the user to start sending requests to the United States and Europe.

Did you try cleaning cookies/local data for those sites, and also cache?

@timezer0 the ones I mentioned could be expected requests. There also could be request for some favicons or other resources related to Speed Dial tiles on opera:startpage. Also for clean profile we display https://www.opera.com/client/welcome page which does make requests to Google, Facebook and Yandex for statistics.

Could you try to use for example https://www.telerik.com/fiddler (not sure if it will catch all request though) or some other tool so we could actually see what requests those are exactly?
