Best Speed Dial on a desk top browser. I have tried other Browsers with Speed Dials Extensions and don't work as well.
I use Opera on a Windows Desktop, Android Phone and Tablet and it works seamlessly for me.
Firefox is a resource hog and I wont use Edge as M$ already have way too much Power.

RE: Opera 126 developerBlogs
@andrew84
I asked in a Windows 11 support forum and the Icon is for Opera to serve ads.
Brave is doing the same thing they are very open about it, a big ad across the start page, an explanation and you can easily disable it in Brave.

RE: Opera 125 StableBlogs
@andrew84 Thanks Andrew84, I am trying Ghostery and will switch to AdBlock Plus to try also. I don't know if its scaremongering but I have read that there maybe security risks in running unsupported Extensions and prefer to be cautious.

@Opera-Comments-Bot
My apologies over the Holiday Message Widget hiding it now sticks which it did not do in the previous version of 124. -
RE: Opera 125 StableBlogs
@Kilian01 Google have updated the Manifest Version to V3 for extensions.
It is going to be up to the Developers if they update the extensions. -
RE: Opera 125 StableBlogs
@sicu220 Google updated the Manifest to V3 which affects the way uBlock Origin functions,
UBlock Origin still works in non Chrome Browsers e.g. Firefox and other Firefox based browsers.
You can try Operas Built in AdBlocker or try other extensions, Adblock Plus or Ghostery from the Opera Store or search on the Google Store for different AdBlockers.

RE: Error message when trying to play YouTube videosOpera for Windows
uBlock Origin has been updated on June 1 and is working okay with You Tube.
I have both uBlock Origin and uBlock Origin Lite installed on Windows 11 25H2.
I have been running tests with You Tube testing both extensions and You Tube runs better using uBlock Origin Lite which is available from the Chrome Web Store.

RE: Opera 131 StableBlogs
Windows 11 25H2 Build 26200.8426 AMD 8700G 64GB Ram, Opera 131 works my system a lot harder, system fan is running more, I have uninstalled and gone back to Opera 130 and system is running fine.
