Opera never automatically updated itself except for today, I had like 20 tabs open and they are all closed now, I dont remember what all of them were and not a single one of them is in my history - good job. Meanwhile Firefox did an automatic Update too while closing not even a single tab I had open on there. so it is possible to not be that mind numbingly bad but you just dont. you really hate the Users huh?

@leocg probably, so you dont know, okay. opera seem to have a lot of excuses for having useless functions which some you cant even disable and for not having functions that many consider standard for a browser, weird way for devs who want people to use their product but maybe thats just me.

@leocg what is the reason then not allowing users to customise the browser in a useful way? i thought the devs want me to use their product why they make it so hard to use then? surprisingly useless answer for a mod btw

@illusiveart also opera doesnt let you choose to set the standard search engine of your choice and also doesnt allow you to choose which site to open when opening a new tab - literally basic browser functions but hey we got emojis on tabs now they got their priorities right

@leocg how could there be any reason at all opera not allowing their users to change new tab page? like its not a hard thing to do and i really dont see why they shouldnt allow that? seems like the opposite of user friendly and innovative

I have settings for Wallet stuff I dont use, AI stuff I dont want but cant decide what my standard search engine is? Instead I have to type in some code stuff every time that doesnt work for me to use the search engine of my choice? I find this very hard to use and I dont get it, its way easier in all other browsers I used before since they simply give you the option to type in your own standard search engine unlike Opera.
Also the settings for how a new tab should behave are very limited? I can set up what site Opera shows when I start the browser (not even a new window counts I have to quit Opera completely and re-open it) but not what site I want when opening a new tab? I dont want to close the whole browser to have "quick" access to my most visited site and the quick access tiles are nice but really just fancy bookmarks, quicker would be - like in every other browser again - just let me edit what site to show when opening a new tab?

I dont know if im missing literally everything in the settings where you can actually edit all these things or are they just not available in Opera which I find hard to believe, such a fancy browser (honestly) but this pretty common basic settings stuff is missing? I really would like to use Opera and hope im just missing something or misunderstand the settings. Would appreciate it if someone could help me.
