@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***

@burnout426 Thanks! I'll get back to the SD in a few minutes, but in the meantime I was working on Extensions. The key one I mentioned was "To-Read," which I now have open in Nedit.

First, where do I go to find the "right-click on the 'key' node and to choose "delete selected node" and "update_url" node?

@opera-qa-team: Yes, your ad blocking is causing it (AdBlock isn't). Thanks,

@leocg So the question is, what is allowing your view to work and mine not. Like I say, this has been going on for a long time, and is not going on with other browsers. A setting? You're using a different language, but I'm not aware of how that could be it.

This is a re-post from the previous version, since comments are closed there

Win 11. This is not particular to 128, but is a longstanding problem across many sites. Of Opera, FF, Edge & Chrome, Opera is the only one that can't print the following article, as an example, w/o the "overlays" blocking the article text. Seen in Preview & printed copy. Wish Opera would fix it.

@dharden Thanks! Since most of the Third-party cookies page is, well, third-party cookies, it's easy to miss that the all site data is different.

Opera One 127.xxx, Win 11. I'd like to delete the cookies for a specific site, but how do I find the list of sites? Thanks,

For quite some time, and something I've reported before, is that I found the Ctl-F search function to be annoyingly very hit and miss, most often the latter, unless I scroll down and up the page some. The screen often doesn't go to the first instance(s) automatically. Or if it does, especially when the first instance is viewable, then it doesn't move down once those are viewed. I've just had one at https://www.youtube.com/@imperfectheartpodcast7944/videos, where I searched for 'Ziada.' The result shows 1 of 1, but nothing is highlighted. In this case it was episode 52 and his name in the pod title is off screen.

@burnout426 I've gotten the desktop Speed Dial into the laptop's SD. However, when I did this on my desktop, most of the thumbnails showed their design identifiers for each, if that's what you call them. But after the paste on the laptop, it's all small generic identifiers in the middle of each thumbnail. I know how to switch them on the main Opera page using the heart, but most are not taking, even if the dropdown says Speed Dial -- not all do, some say Bookmarks bar. I'm wondering why.

@burnout426 Got it, thanks! Two of the three extensions I brought over are either no longer available for Opera or at all.

As I went through all the extensions in the old files, there were a couple named ones that I didn't recognize and wondered why they were there. They are WebRTC and HLS Downloader. Any ideas?

@burnout426 Thanks. And now the extensions? I'm not understanding you Nedit instructions, as I've described above.
