Best Speed Dial on a desk top browser. I have tried other Browsers with Speed Dials Extensions and don't work as well.
I use Opera on a Windows Desktop, Android Phone and Tablet and it works seamlessly for me.
Firefox is a resource hog and I wont use Edge as M$ already have way too much Power.

@andrew84
I asked in a Windows 11 support forum and the Icon is for Opera to serve ads.
Brave is doing the same thing they are very open about it, a big ad across the start page, an explanation and you can easily disable it in Brave.

@andrew84 Thanks Andrew84, I am trying Ghostery and will switch to AdBlock Plus to try also. I don't know if its scaremongering but I have read that there maybe security risks in running unsupported Extensions and prefer to be cautious.

@Opera-Comments-Bot
My apologies over the Holiday Message Widget hiding it now sticks which it did not do in the previous version of 124.

@Kilian01 Google have updated the Manifest Version to V3 for extensions.
It is going to be up to the Developers if they update the extensions.

@sicu220 Google updated the Manifest to V3 which affects the way uBlock Origin functions,
UBlock Origin still works in non Chrome Browsers e.g. Firefox and other Firefox based browsers.
You can try Operas Built in AdBlocker or try other extensions, Adblock Plus or Ghostery from the Opera Store or search on the Google Store for different AdBlockers.

@janmlar If want the Speed Dials to be the same on both computers you can Copy and Paste Speed Dials.
In Opera go to Bookmarks, you will see a Speed Dial Folder.
What I do is go to the folder for the Computer or Device that I want to copy to, Right Click "Select All", Right Click on one of the Selected Speed Dial Icons and Click "Move Selected to Bin".
I then open the Speed Dial Folder that I wish to copy the Speed Dials from, "Control A" Right Click "Copy" go to the Destination Folder and Paste the Speed Dials.

One you have a good starting point Opera Sync should take care of any changes you make after that.

@janmlar I have 3 devices on Opera, a Windows PC, Android Tablet and Phone.
If I open Bookmarks on the Windows 11 Computer under Other Speed Dials there are folders for the Android Tablet and Phone Speed Dials.
There is a folder from another Computer which I no longer use, so I renamed that Master which has a backup of the Windows 11 Speed Dials.

@Opera-Comments-Bot
Windows 11 Pro Opera One 64 Bit, I tried to update from 127.0.5778.47 using about from the Opera menu and the report back was Opera was up to date.
Ran Windows Powershell as Admin and typed
winget upgrade --all and the 127.0.654 update was installed.

@Leavemyaddressalone081
If you would provide more information please, which version of Opera are you using including the build number e.g. Opera One(version: 127.0.5778.14) and the platform Mac, Windows, Android, IOS etc Thank you.

@JimMayor
This might do what you want

To clear browsing data on exit in Opera, go to Settings, click on "Advanced," then select "Privacy & security." Under "Cookies and other site data," enable the option to "Clear cookies and site data when you quit Opera."

@fckopera said in Multiple crashes on windows 7 OS:

@pdw How did you get version Version:95.0.4635.90 of Opera working?

I use Version:78.0.4093.206 and it does not allow later updates.

Sadly people don't seem willing to help when many people have legitimate reasons for using Win7 such as disability tools.

Also anyone who values their privacy.

I was trying to move to Linux but sadly my investigations suggest that it too suffers from bloatware vs a very basic command line interface.

I tell you, if someone builds a Linux distro with an absolute clone of Win7 desktop with drivers that support WIn7 drivers they will make a fortune.

I only use Win10 for closed systems such as a media PC with no other software on it.

When I was in Ireland many years ago before we had sat nav etc and were asking for directions, the response was

"you don't want to start from here"

Which tends to be the reply you get on here.

Have you ever thought maybe people cannot help.
Microsoft discontinued support for Windows 7 over 6 years ago and Windows 7 was released in October 2009.

There have been 4 major consumer Windows O/S releases since Windows 7, Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and 11.

There are younger people that use Windows Computers that may have never even heard of Windows 7 let alone seen or used it.

People also forget things, you change to a different device O/S you tend to focus on the new device. If someone is happy using an older device that is fine but to complain about the lack of support is unfair.

@Francorum Revo Uninstaller Free Version works well.

@davidgould V 38.4 has been reuploaded and is now working.

The Opera version 38.4 is now installing and working.

@davidgould I loaded FB Purity from the Chrome Web Store in the mean time.

I read a post that the issue was at the Opera End.
