@burnout426 That Worked!
Thankyou very MUCH!

In the latest version of opera - 52.0.2871.3
closing an open tab using mouse has changed to alt+click instead of shift+click
i have multiple tabs open and the cross button only shows on active tab
i used to close the unactive tab using the shift+click, is there any way to change it back to shift+click ? or will i be stuck with opera 51 for foreseeable future ?
i know that shift+click is now used to select tabs, can the use of shift and alt be interchanged ? i dont see any option in keyboard shortcuts

@incomingbrowserchange
its alright. i never saw u as an enemy. i just ranted because they changed something i love to use, to a half working multi-tab selection which last i checked only worked to select tabs which are consecutive, doesnt work on spread out tabs, without giving an option if we want to use it or not.
and how shift+click works is u click on tab(i prefer the top pixel, just above the icon of tab) while pressing shift, and it will close. keep pressing shift and click on whichever tab u want to close, and they will close without u having to open them again or miss clicking a different tab.

@incomingbrowserchange
it may seem like a very easy to find alternative kind of problem for you,
but people change whole products due to slight inconveniences.
also ctrl+w only works on current tab, and moving mouse to X when u have 30+ tabs usually has a high chance of slightly off-clicking opening different tab.
all i want is feature to be able to change the alt key function to shift, like your keyboard shortcuts, but nah, nothing since they changed it in feb last year.
i hope you dont face my kind of problems. happy browsing.

im still very sad they didnt bring back the feature
my workaround - i never updated after 55.0.2994.61 which is the last version i have find this to have worked
plus apparently the latest 60 opera has too many bugs
until i get back my shift + left click to close tabs, i cant upgrade forward
sadly chrome never had it either

With the new opera update, the feature to shift+click is gone again and now i cant find the flag either
Any help ?

@rak282 and my list of exceptions is empty

@leocg No, it fixed by itself, i didnt change anything, one day it suddenly stopped showing any posts, next day it was back and fixed

but i still see ads in between posts

The no posts on facebook is now fixed(must have updated the easylist), but i still see the ads in between feeds

On sites such as Facebook, the adblock has stopped working entirely, and starting today the adblocker blocked posts from loading and the whole page only had first 2 post(one of which is sponsered ad)
on page such as youtube , the ad count keeps increasing over 99+ then slowly the page crashes after long time

@leocg how to check if my isp is blocking the connection ?
the vpn has been working perfectly fine for months till now, only now it started giving such problem

For past 2 days the vpn is not working
it says : "VPN is temporarily unavailable. Opera is resolving the problem"

i tried re-installing the latest opera after deleting everything and clearing cache using ccleaner and restarting pc, still same issue
its stuck with "optimal location" but shows "VPN is temporarily unavailable. Opera is resolving the problem" in a new install
after i copy back the backup its stuck with europe again like before, when i open vpn, europe is the only location option shown(i choose europe once and closed vpn, its been like that after that)

i cannot check with different pc and isp since i only have this laptop and same service provider

windows : 1803 - 64 bit
opera : 53.0.2907.68
