I get updates via the Linux Mint repository. This update was downloaded, I fell asleep with PC running, and woke to find the update had been implemented.

@chas4 The full installers and the autoupdate files are still present at https://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera-beta/93.0.4585.3/win/. And, going to opera://about (after refreshing a few times like usual) updates from 92.0.4561.11 to 93.0.4585.3 successfully for me. Looks like the autoupdate exe is almost the same size as the installer, and the smaller patch files were for patching .8, not .11. But, long story short, it updated for me just now.

@burnout426 I would have edited my comment but that option looks to be missing for some reason yesterday, the macOS installer is not posted yet

Why Open the Web?

Despite the connecting purpose of the Web, it is not entirely open to all of its users.
When used correctly, HTML documents can be displayed across platforms and devices.
However, many devices are excluded access to Web content.

@burnout426: Not Sure why the macOS link is live if the beta for macOS is not ready yet (right now it links to version beta 92 for macOS as of this comment)

Edge says that it will end chromium updates for win 8.1 after 109.
So no versions updates for Opera too after 109 Chromium on Win 8.1?

@andrew84 No official comments yet but I guess there is high probability.

what happened to the blog page? It looks and works awful - comments are gone, a lot of identical pictures and etc.
Return the old one.

@andrew84 Don't know if they are changing the blogs or if it's some kind of problem, but comments seem to be messed up.

Edit: It seems that blog posts are all pointing to the same comments thread.

@leocg They redesigned the blog blog, I guess.
Maybe comments will be fixed soon, but the idea to show the same picture for different builds is an awful idea.
The old one way showing build number + short description was a way better.

Why is there no blocking of tracking scripts and ads by Opera on Facebook?

@adam1709 Ads and tracking blockers are enabled for the site?

@leocg Yes, of course, there is a protection icon in the upper bar on the right, but when I go to facebook and some other pages, it is not there at all, as if it was specially set up (some whitelist, exceptions?), But I did not rummage around there, so I do not understand . Ads are not turned off there because I'm using uBlock Origin, but I think it doesn't matter to my problem, I have scripting lock turned on.

@andrew84 "DNA-100196 Reduced size of ‘+’ button in tab bar" is in the changelog for this build. (Meaning the + button reaches the top of the window again finally.)

@adam1709 Facebook used to be on the exceptions list by default, did you take a look there?

@leocg: I haven't changed anything there, the list is empty. I have the same, for example, on the Google translator, also this shield icon is not visible.
