Introducing Opera 102

@paul-durham Thanks for the detailed installation process. I will try it at a later date.

@paul-durham I would refer to this as the manual method. In my case, simply uninstalling and going back to 101....58, then going forward seemed to work.

There are two ways to download and install opera of which I am aware: (1) In the browser click on Update & Recovery (which used to NEVER work for me, but has started working mysteriously recently, from 102....46?), and (2) the manual download method in which one goes to: https://www.opera.com/download and follows the instructions there, picking the desired version, first Managing Cookies (in which one has to unclick the default acceptance of them), then after downloading the newer version (presumably, as desired, which is shown in the downloaded file name, the version), one has to yet again disallow by unchecking four boxes the acceptance of cookies, but about all this--aside from my continuing wonder at Opera's attempts to foist cookies on us--if folks want to award them cookie revenue, why not simply have a place to select the degree of revenue desired to make available to them, by opting in to the amount of cookies which the user doesn't mind, in order to keep Opera afloat, rather then this back door method of them attempting to place cookies?
Anyway, back to the question: Does it make any difference which method of download and installation one chooses, (1) or (2) above? Particularly with respect to the likelihood of a mis-migration of one's data from one version to the next?
Can anyone opine as to whether 102....56 is okay, is anyone losing stuff after upgrading from 102....51 to 102....56? Or is that issue finally resolved now?
Also, does anyone know why/how my post is showing up in this format--black background with green, white, yellow italicized, and red text, seemingly randomly so?--I did not do this, on purpose! Ugh! WTF. I cannot figure out why the preview looks like this, or how to turn this off.

@xb70 Ways to download... There is a 3rd & 4th way I use FWIW
The 4th way is to just wait till Opera does auto update.

To download Opera: The 3rd way...
a. Click Menu...Help...About
b. Opera will tell you its up to date (A bug - reported many times)
c. Click Refresh and Opera downloads and installs the latest version complete with a restart request.

@raphaelbm I was not aware of the Help/About means. As to the auto updating, I thought that that had been turned off. I guess not. Nor do we have control over it, right? Anyone? Plus I now see that my post went through correctly, but to see what I was complaining of at the end of it, see the previous one, for a hint.

@raphaelbm Thanks for the info. I will still sit on the sidelines until Opera gets it together, if ever.

Now it seems the dev tools are completely broken, unusable... welp...
Clicking on the "Select an element in the page to inspect it" oftentimes not working at all, having no effect on hovering over elements. Also when in this state, hovering over the tabs have no effect. Like focus is broken or smt.

When it does work, I can't horizontal scroll the HTML file(SHIFT+scroll).

YOU GENIUSES IN OPERA found this update has problems resetting everything people have in browser and still pushed it to everyone's autoupdate? I just lost everything i had in opera after autoupdate and in process of recoverying

Okay i restored everything but that was really WIERD for such famous browser to do it. So many people will lose all their settings and bookmarks who can't restore it because they are not familiar with PC and can't follow instructions which people gave here. Honestly i would abandon opera completely after such failure but i see you introduced the fix for biggest flaw of opera one for me - useless space after right clicking something, so i'll give it a chance.
