@oo00 There was/is a problem with an expired certificate affecting many systems and sites: https://www.zdnet.com/article/fortinet-shopify-others-report-issues-after-root-ca-certificate-from-lets-encrypt-expires/, don't if it could be the cause.

@oo00 OS updates don't make the computer slow. If it does, maybe it's time to get a new computer.

Anyway, if you don't want to keep your OS up to date, you will have to deal with the consequences.

Why isn't the browser open-source? does it wanna hide anything?

@anothermemberofsociety Probably because they never had any reason to make it open source.
Also, being Opera a Chromium based browser, I would say that most part of it is already open source.

I've encountered several websites that have rejected my use of the Opera browser, saying it's unsecure. E.g., my main banking website will not let me use Opera any longer.

@cbxporsche98 use an extension to change the user agent or turn on opera://flags/#reduce-user-agent, it should help most of the times.

You've discussed this b4 in a topic, if you can't update your browser, like in my case f.e., that you should simply run the latest installer. But can you guarantee, dear moderator, that I won't loose any of the settings from my previous version ? Thank you for looking into this.

@jimbop Just running the installer should not mess with your data.
Anyway, do a backup if that data is important for you.
