      Hello,

      I really love Opera browser except 4 important problems, 2 of them connected with Firewall I post here.

      1. I have 3 browsers - Opera, Firefox, Edge. Also I prefer to block at Windows Firewall all inbound and all outbound traffic by default, except individual enabling rules. When I setup firewall as I need - Edge works with only 1 allow rule, Firefox works with only 1 allow rule, but Opera don't work even with allow rules for all *.exe from Opera folder! Please, tell which exactly firewall rules your Opera needs to work through "block all by default" Firewall?

      2. It's very annoying to use Opera with Firewall because only Opera (not one of Firefox/Chrome/Edge/etc) after each update changes it's main folder and thus path to a main opera.exe. You must resolve this problem by using folders with version as backup, but use current active version from one constant folder like "Active" or "Current" thus it's path will not change after each update!

      Waiting for your help with #1!
