      I need to go back to the version of Opera that doesn't display this on screen volume control. Then I need to disable upgrades without the use of a firewall.

      If it is not possible to identify the last version that doesn't throw this up, then just the ability to prevent upgrades without needing to use a firewall would be very useful.

              Goto the URL opera://flags/#hardware-media-key-handling, disable the flag, and restart Opera.

                Thanks, do you know when this feature was first introduced?

                  @homeaccount I can narrow it down a little bit for you. It's some time between build 67.0.3575.137 and 71.0.3770.198.

                    Thanks for the suggest
                    Currently downgraded to 67.0.3575.115

                    But the thing continues to show up.

                    I've nuked it in MS EDGE, could it be showing up because of Google Chrome even though I haven't got that open, or could it have been implemented in Opera before 67.0.3575.137 which is why it is showing up on my system still?

                      I've uninstalled Google Chrome so it is not the source of the continuing appearance of this. Since Firefox doesn't generate this widget, it must still be Opera which means for certain it first appeared before 67.0.3575.115

                        @homeaccount It seems to be introduced in Chromium 75, which is the base for Opera 61, if I'm not mistaken.

                            My bad. I forgot to delete the profile (or reset the flags) in the test build I have for that version. I had the extra volume stuff disabled in that version's profile.
