My system is still running strong. I keep my machine very lean with no bloatware on it. I have no extensions other than an ad blocker. Looks like other users have noticed the same behavior.

I don't know what Sync is. I don't think a user needs it. I don't need a server either. I clear my history every day. Previous versions did not have this busy signal. No other browser does this.

Previous versions of Opera did not have this thing but I've noticed that when I close down the browser I see this blue circle (busy signal), like something is still going on. I've been looking for some info on this but nothing yet.

Just started using Opera Mail and I like it. But I noticed that when I go into Tools - Preferences - Advanced and untick the box next to Enable Sounds, when I re-open that a few seconds later Opera has reticked that box.

Why? I don't need or want any Program Sounds. I have all sounds on my system completely shut off, so I'm not hearing any Opera Mail sounds, but why does the program keep reticking that box right after I did just the opposite?
