Ever since I updated to Opera 113 I am getting a "Would you like to make Opera your everyday browser?" nag. How can I pernanantly disable that nag?

@dalehcook Never mind - I was out of the house for a few hours and when I came back it was snoozed. I hate it when developers break their software. I give up - goodbye!

I might have found the cause of the problem and its solution. I urge all of you to try this. Because turning the "Snooze inactive tabs to save memory" switch off did not fix the problem, I tried turning it on. Opera has now been running for more than an hour with three inactive tabs, and it has not snoozed. If I am correct then the function of that switch is the reverse of what it is supposed to be.

We are obviously not going to get any satisfaction in this matter. It appears that the developers of Opera pay no attention to user complaints. For years I have used Opera for a number of specific purposes, but if a setting to disable an unwanted function does not work through a succession of revisions and after multiple user complaints I do not have to put up with software that does not work correctly. There are other browsers. Goodbye, Opera.

After I upgraded from 74.0.3911.75 to 74.0.3911.160 for Windows x64 I had a couple of problems, and doing a clean installation of 74.0.3911.160 cured those. There is one problem, however, which I noted in ...75, and which is still present in ...160. It is impossible to permanently disable tab snoozing. Turning off the setting "Snooze inactive tabs to save memory" does not work - tabs are still snoozed.

Those of us who have no need for tab snoozing need a way to permanently disable it. The advanced setting "Snooze inactive tabs to save memory" does not work.
