They should add extensions to the current version or at the very least swap out the built in ad blocking which doesn't work very well with ublock.

@leocg I read on a blog post that it used to.

*oh wait it was opera "mobile"

I have the latest version (52.2.2517.139816) and when I go to the extensions page and click add it just downloads it to my download folder.
Tried googling to see if there was a separate site for mobile extensions, but came up with nada.

So, today opera 53.0.2907.99 shows up on update manager (linux mint 17 mate), I updated it, it seemed to install fine, no error messages or the like, started it and all I get is an opera window that's blank and says "loading.... - Opera" on the top bar, after a good long wait it seemd to be doing nothing and not responding, is there a way to make it work?
I did a system restore to just before I updated so I could have a working version of opera for the time being.

The last update before this one that I did a month or so ago (I think anyway) had the option and it was chromium based.

In 48.0.2685.35 the option to show a real menu bar instead of that annoying start menu type menu seems to have gone AWOL, is there any way to get it back?
