Option to "pause automatic update until next version"

Problem: Opera updates can have unintended effects - some minor, some major. An easy fix is to go back to the previous update - but this is only temporary, since Opera's design forces the browser to update again, effectively re-imposing the problematic update.
Suggestion: on "Update & Recovery," give the user the option to "pause automatic update until next version."
E.g. I'm currently having issues with 119.0.5497.70 on Opera One. All of my issues are immediately solved by reverting to 119.0.5497.56 - and I should be able to pause automatic updates until Opera has an update after 119.0.5497.70.
This seems like a fair compromise to me. There is a part of me, however small, however reluctant, that understands how Opera needs to keep Users updated & on the same page. At the same time, I as the user should be able to protect my own device from updates that harm my experience of the browser.
So instead of an indefinite "forever" pause, let's just pause on this one update that's not working - then when there's the next update, I as the user have to at least give that update a chance.
