I confirm that there is an awful, annoying, and rather startling sound emitted by the computer after a recent update. Could my computer be in pain, knowing how screwed up this update has made my enjoyment of the Opera browser? I would like to revert back to the older version, but don't know how.

Mee tooo.
A bad part about the recent update is I had no chance to refuse it. Also, just to write this comment I had to check off on this: "You must give consent to this site to collect/process your information, and to send you emails." That is needlessly intrusive.

But for me the worst thing about the new compared to the old is the new ad-blocker. The old version hardly ever let any ads through on YouTube videos, a favorite pastime of mine. But overnight the ad-blocker started allowing ads on YT every three to five minutes, so every few minutes I have to endure some seconds of annoying stuff, then mouse over a spot and click the ad away.

Is there any way to revert back? Or some way to get rid of the noise and make the YT ad blocking work good again? If not, I'll soon be looking for a better browser.

@nickyt Right. Never. I get it whenever the new version of Opera updates, but also whenever Opera crashes - which is often, expecially compared to the rather stable prior version. Grrrr... ear pollution!
