@genegold: I've just discovered that it automatic updated, so I can't escape this horrible version. What to do?

Did you others bug report it? Feel free to use my BR number, BS-70469, under the subject:
"Re: BS-70469 While opening new blank tab Opera instead restarts"

@renatob: Wish I knew. There was a forum topic about it, but the solution was complicated. There is a real need for an auto update off/on setting.

Is there a way to turn off the sound Opera makes on start up?

@burnout426 Thanks. So as I read your post, given the changes over time, the only thing needed now to account for my previously added syntax is renaming the autoupdate file. I do have zoom set for 80% (wish there were 5% options between 80 and 100).

@burnout426 Thanks.

@burnout426 Thanks. I see that there is a delete on close setting.

Thanks. Those don't seem to be it. Each file is different, but examples are not something I'd want to post on a public site. I've got IDM looking into it too. I just wondered if there's a Save As setting, like their used to be as I recall (accessible in Windows settings)

@renatob: Go a system restore. The problem is auto update is apt to occur sometime after. This is a real cluster f***

Probably not. The changelog shows last Chromium update on Sept 26, while this started with the Win 10 and O64 updates on Oct 8.

@daria19: Why not Ask? That's what works with everything else.

This is to follow up camera/mike problem with Opera and doctor appts on Epic (MyChart). Please note that there are no problems with any other video conferences outside that system.

1. Check your camera and microphone settings by going to opera://settings/privacy and in "Site Settings".

• Settings have been "to ask"

2. Make sure your Logitech Webcam HD C510 drivers are up to date.

• Older Webcam has been up to date for years

3. Try clearing Opera's cache and cookies by going to
   opera://settings/clearBrowserData.

• Since November, I have cleared cache, history and temp cookies a few times for other reasons. Can't test now because there is no scheduled video appt.

If it doesn't help, please let us know. We will be happy to assist you further!

When I try to have a Televideo session with a doctor that's using Epic (MyChart), in Opera my video and/or microphone are not recognized (I'm forgetting if it's one or both). I first came across this last November and it's continued every time since. I'm using a Logitech Webcam HD C510. When I switch to Edge, everything works fine and so that's where I've had to do the sessions from. I don't know if this is an Epic or Opera problem (I notified the former at the time).

@genegold Not sure who fixed it, but Yahoo Finance page portfolio is loading better now. Not always perfectly responsive, but generally so.

@daria19: It seems within Opera. Privacy Badger said the problem wasn't on their end. Opera threw up notice "banner" on start up saying an extension needs update, which led to Privacy Badger. But unlike in the past, where update works, it stopped working with the latest update, i.e., nothing happened. Process repeated every time I open Opera, bothering enough that I deleted the extension last week. Just reinstalled it, so will see what happens. It's ok right now.

Since Yahoo updated their website fairly recently and replaced MyYahoo with Yahoo Finance (only), invariably the first time I open the page -- my portfolio view is default -- the portfolio only partially loads. I have to repeatedly scroll the screen up and down before it fills out. If I don't, nothing happens. Every time. Much faster with Edge and FF. Win 10 Pro x64 desktop, Intel Core i5 12400 Alder Lake w/ 32GB RAM

The Privacy Badger extension update failure still hasn't been fixed! When?

@andrew84: Actually, I did and just struck me that I haven't seen any popups. Thanks,

@andrew84 Thanks. Perhaps disable not implemented yet.

@leocg: Well, let's hope someone changes that. In the realm of functionality, the way it's implemented is not is counterproductive (to put it nicely). It sits for some seconds, blocking the ability to get to the tab behind it. I can see why someone thought that having a way to let the user know copying was successful might be a good idea. It's just that it's placement, or perhaps how it's conveyed, needs rethinking.
