Is it just me or after some time of use, Opera slows down to a crawl, have to restart it...

Okay, I installed 102....33 on one computer--win 10-64, fully updated, FWIW. Seems fine. I examined every last setting, out of curiosity, and tweaked a few, basically locking the browser down. I did not test response time, however. But that computer is pretty old and slow, so it would only be relative to previous use. More later, after trying it on "the more important" Win 10-64 computer in the household. No sync issues.

Oops, installed 102....33 on the other computer and lost my extensions--again! Uninstalled and went back to 102....29 where they had been, not. Had to go all the way back to 101....58, but thankfully there were there. Yes, I was supposedly synced in the other two installations, but to no avail. I need to go up and find that link someone offered for syncing (power sync?).
It was kmara:
"Let's face it if they said, officially, 'Anyone encountering missing account settings and data can find it at [https://www.sync.opera.com/](link url) " that might have saved them the migration, but I agree with others that comprehensive flow testing in advance of release would have been the better option, then they would know to say that, or to prevent it from happening in the first place. It would have saved them a lot of migration." -

Now the question is can I go forward to 102....33 to see if it has my extensions, having been reloaded in 101....58? No idea.....

@xb70 Might be a good idea to turn of syncing of settings in Opera Sync for now just for good measure. One less thing for Opera to get confused about.

I was able to install 102....33 successfully upgrading on top of 101....58. It was already synced, apparently via 101....58. I am good now. 102....29 was successfully installed, but my first attempt upgrading on top of it failed, as it didn't sync properly, and wouldn't load my extensions, requiring me to go all the way back to 101....58 to find my extensions again. Ugh.

@winblood It also won't open a page, claiming to be "out of memory". Have to refresh it several times, and finally it opens. Right now I use Edge, and I have the Opera uninstalled, waiting for a better version. Of all the browsers I've used, I did like Opera the most. And they had to screw it all up.

@honeybadger56 You have to wonder who's in charge at Opera? Does management use Opera as their browser?

The login tab at Ally Bank, https://www.ally.com/, doesn't respond. It didn't in at least the last 101 either (I decided to use PatchMyPC to do the update to 102). It does work with Edge. I let the bank know too.

Great. After auto-updating itself to 102, now Opera blasts its stupid trumpet sound every time It Starts.
It was annoying enough when it did it on update, but not it does it on every start.
I assume something did not got converted from 101 to 102 fully and it thinks it's starting for the first time after update.
I know, I'm deleting the exe that produces the sound, but still ... Opera team, can you make this update works finally? Pretty please?

@kiny-ohara LMAO, yeah, that's terribly annoying. Also adding unnecessary delays to startup...

Okay, we are up to 102....40, having gone through 101....58, 102....16 (the offending one), 102....29, 102....33, and now 102....40. All but 16 have worked for me, albeit not without multiple installation attempts in one case. So I guess that this thread is not longer needed, or folks have moved on to another thread to report their latest Opera issues. My biggest complaint about Opera is having to click past essentially five disallowances of their cookie setting attempts, first just to see the downloads available, then after download to install, another four places to uncheck, and Opera simultaneously claims to be all about our privacy. Why do I have to disallow the default cookie setting, with five unchecks?

Oops, 46 was okay, only requiring one reinstallation on one computer, but Avoid 51! Loaded without any personalization, even after logging in/syncing. Ugh. Uninstall and go back to 46, in my case. Such a pain.

I attempted to install 102.0.4880.51 and lost my extensions again, and going back to 46 or 29 didn't help., only all the way back to 101....58 got them back, despite the others being "synced."

@beorn1 said in Introducing Opera 102:
@xb70 I switched to Vivaldi browser and I am happy now. With some extensions suitable for my use cases. Do the same ..
Sorry Opera!Good luck with that! I've done so after Opera being so buggy. I had been an avid Vivaldi for four years before. But for heaven's sake, Vivaldi is even more buggy than Opera. I'm on Firefox now.
