Do more on the web, with a fast and secure browser!
Download Opera browser with:
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.
@Reino1X An option is to download and install an Older version of Opera that functions as you need to and don't update until the issue is fixed.
@NiralParmar is Sync everything checked in Operas Sync Settings?

If you can start the old computer, you can export bookmarks and passwords to files and copy the files to thumb drive and them import the data into Opera on the new computer.
Opera Sync Settings and Remove Old Devices
I am using Opera One in WIndows 11, Opera Mobile on a Pixel Phone and Tablet.
I signed out of Opera on the Phone and Tablet.
I then logged into https://www.sync.opera.com reset my Passphrase and all my old Computers and Tablets are now gone.
I then logged back into Opera One on the PC and checked all my Sync Settings.
Please note you don't have to set a Seperate Passphrase if you don't wish for Opera Sync, refer to the image above the area in the Red Frame you can just use the email address and password for your Opera Account.
I then signed into Opera on the Mobile and Tablet and everything is synced working on the 3 Devices.
@raphaelbmThe updater worked for me and I was going from 124..0.5705.42. I updated yesterday to 124..0.5705.65 but didn't like the Purple Holiday Widget that kept popping up so I went to the old version.
I downloaded the Opera Setup File for 125 today and it updated no issues. I had disabled Auto Update after yesterday.
Winget maybe another option to update.
@raphaelbm said in Opera 125 Stable:
Opera 125 is announced but wont update. Please fix asap. Thx Raphael
Of course I don't expect a reply. Will I get a reply?(I cannot add the screenshot because the attach feature is missing in THIS editor)
You can to https://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/ and dowlnoad the full installer.
@leocg I understand that you can reenable the V2 extensions.
I have read that there maybe potential security risks running older V2 extensions that have not been updated so I have decided to be cautious and only run V3 extensions.
I only run two extra extensions an Adblocker currently trying Ghostery and Antigram
