upon updating i'm greeted with some new features like 'Saving pages as PDFs' but the said option is not available though the O-Menu like it states
"To save a page as a PDF file, go to the O-Menu (or File on macOS) and select “Save Page as PDF.”"

i had to make a short cut, not so bad but after fiddling i discovered that right clicking now has the option

but why do i need two menu items for almost the same 'save this page' function, just having a 'save as...' & letting the user choose all the formats would be better as it's less duplication, not saying to remove the save as PDF feature as it's smaller than a .mhtml archive & has useful applications

(save as PDF...) New year, new browser. Opera 50 introduces anti-Bitcoin mining tool - Opera Desktop.pdf 6.2 MB
(very good)

(Save as...) New year, new browser. Opera 50 introduces anti-Bitcoin mining tool - Opera Desktop.mhtml 9.4 MB ! (perfect)

(Print to file) New year, new browser.pdf 5.6 MB (poor graphics translation!)

as for as usability gos the 'Print to file' does poorly compared to just a 'save as PDF...'

making chrome://flags/?search=html#save-page-as-mhtml enabled by default would be nice too, as this is how a currently accomplish saving web pages.

seems i love to hate opera these days, heck i liked presto better back in the day, hope i enlightened you & have a good day!

P.S. the like to the change log is down, after only six days & searching one finds nothing for 50

@coffeelover wow exactly my feelings, i signed in just for this, Opera used to be something great, something special, now it's just a better Google Chrome.

@blackwidow: Hello, I fixed it by going to uBlock Settings (right lick icon > options) > Settings &;
0. Backing up my settings; "Back up to file…"

1. Resetting to defaults; "Reset to default settings…"
2. Restoring my config; "Restore from file…"

Hope this Helps!

Sorry if it was not clear enough the first time,

exactly my suggestions or requests
#1 combined 'Save as...' with 'save as PDF...'
#2 make opera://flags/?search=html#save-page-as-mhtml enabled by default

sense i can't edit my first post here is a better done P.S.: the link to the change log (found here) is down after only six days, searching finds nothing for opera 50

ok thats what i thought. just like it says here

In this blog post is says opera supports Windows XP, but the latest version that runs is 36.0.2130.80 & witch is based on chrome version is 49.0.2623.11, so does this mean only small update's are being made ? things like https://linustechtips.com/main/ does not work. is there some article i missed?
please explain for me.

Opera has changed a lot over the years, it once cost money, and was solely made by them, then was AD supported , now it's Google supported & chromium based,
then opera was bought by the chinese

how things change.
it lost a lot of what made Opera so great when they switched to a Chrome based (opera) browser. (they got better sense then though,)
but this is not one of those; new things are bad; just stay in the past; nostalgia posts,
i what a better future.

lost features that should come back:

-Bookmark management & options like
exporting bookmarks as an HTML file can do done with extensions

-History by the week/month

other then that i'm good

but it's Different now, the old ways are gone to time .... Right?
