Although Opera has VPN (make sure you understand that it is in use for ONLY Opera browsing), my sure fire VPN solution is to have bought a VPN utility for my Windows 7 laptop, cost is minimal and blocks my IP address for ALL my programs that use the internet on my computer. I use Easy-Hide-IP VPN, costs me about $47 for 6 months.

Current version 57.0.3098.76 continues to house a broken undependable Snapshot.

Is there a setting, or a way to do this??

As a result, I have started using Lightshot::

This program - after installing - allows you to do the same things as Snapshot (hit PrintScreen) except it works perfectly. When installed you can also take snapshots outside of your browser. Also, it remembers the folder you want to save it to...and can copy and paste.

For the last few iterations of Opera, Snapshot continues to malfunction. This morning I took a snapshot of a picture on Facebook, and the resulting image was not even close to the one I outlined.

Either fix it or do away with it.

Opera is now on Version 56.0.3051.99

Are you using this blog page::

Because a short while ago, I had bookmarked the blog and it gave me a 404, and I found this one above worked.

Same issue with newest update, O56.0.3051.52.

Can this not be fixed??

Because of this I have ti revert to the extension "Lightshot (screenshot tool)"

@egallis REREAD my post, I said the process works perfectly for me.

I understand what you are suggesting. I guess I am thinking about an extension that replaces the normal uTorrent program, and being that it would be doing the downloading directly within Opera. For instance, old Opera 12 could enable torrent files and then do the download natively. I was think an extension then might be doing the ACTUAL downloading within Opera without using the uTorrent program.
