@rickgottaken you are correct in that being able to set things like colours etc should be in operas options, like a lot of things, but on my version 105.0.4970.21 the active tab , I don't use tab groups or tab islands etc so don't know what happens there. my active tab is always way brighter than other tabs.

Dick has been a shortened form of Rick/Richard for like hundreds of years you must have heard it said before, I dont think offence was intended but what do i know it is 2023 so anything is possible.

@sporty78 it is possible that hotmail are kinda trickin you here. I think that the default background that says ad blocker detected is just always there. it is normally hidden by the ad. if the ad is blocked by any means it shows the background with ad blocker detected . it hasnt actually detected anything. hope i explained what i mean clearly it is hard to write it out. also insulting members tryin to help you is counter productive so go easy brother.

@leocg ahh i see what you mean.

@leocg it does seem to have a -- thats why i asked. maybe i wasnt clear.
In the OP it says 2 links and both say beap.gemini.yahoo.com

but they lead to diff URLs if you click them.
(I am reckless like that )
Either way they get hosed on my opera with ublock installed so I am happy to test them out.

One other odd thing is today opera seems to have multiple versions claiming to be the latest. I've seen 3 diff ones in forum posts today, not sure what that is all about as each poster says they have diff versions and all claim its latest version but they are all different any idea which is actually the latest version number.?
Just so we are all on the same page.
mine is

@stefan7808
I am a little confused both links say the same thing beap.gemini.yahoo.com but point to different places.
1st link goes to beap.gemini.yahoo.com as it should.
2nd goes to /xn--beap-pha.gemini.yahoo.com.
strange but ublock origin extension blocks the first and i get This site cant be reached for second.

1st

2nd

TLDR: try Ublock origin from opera extensions site, possible it wont fix it but will stop it happening again and most other pups.

@cjthebest010 it just updated again and mine is now

maybe an uninstall/reinstall with latest version might help Twitch is working ok is all I can really tell you.

@cjthebest010 I know this isnt really helpful but twitch is working fine for me. I am on version 100.0.4815.54

@kamuoperaacc check opera settings / password manager see if its there , you may get lucky and opera saved it or if not there possibly may be a password recovery option on the site in question.

@robteejr Quite right wasnt thinking about touchscreens etc, you are quite correct, you shouldn't have too I was jumping the gun in assuming that tablets etc have an equivalent function like a three finger swipe/tap or something like that.

Edit: Maybe that one could be addressed by a section on forum for other devices to discuss such things, just to help in drilling down on issues, I dunno I talk first and think later sometimes. It causes me grief IRL all the time, sorry.

@oldfan mouse middle click in space at top opens start page i think always worth checking what mouse wheel click does and maybe if opera made people aware of this instead of just removing an existing method, that would be nice.

@generosus mouse wheel click on tab closes it i think no need for an x, unless of course you dont have a mouse with a wheel click in which case they cost almost nothing and are useful.

@bakaonline for a long time I have been using mouse wheel click on tab for close. don't really need an x at all. But each to their own I guess and I suggest that why not put it in options, a simple entry, to hide or perma-display the x along with any other changes made. Let us(the users) decide. How bout doing it that way Opera ?

@oldfan open update and recovery from the red O menu top left. it will say your version.

@ammoalamo same here, and because of this and other dumb changes (smiley face rubbish on my start page etc ) im done with opera.

How hard is it to use these rules:

1. if you change/add something also put it in settings so users can disable it.
2. see rule 1

I know the opera devs think they own my devices but, reality check, you dont and there is so much choice in the browser space that watching them destroy what they have allegedly worked so hard to make and "improve" is actually funny.

@rahulvashistha14
Video plays fine here. May i draw your attention to first pinned thread on this forum...
what OS opera version pc specs etc did you try on a different browser like edge or something ?

@thebullet if you mean the converter that does it when you select text its in settings/features/search pop up i think
