@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.

Looking at a new Opera One install for a laptop, I can't help but notice that Opera One doesn't have a To-Read list type extension. Michal Borek (To-Read sites 5.0) has one that Opera no longer recognizes, although it still works on my existing desktop setup, and there's a "Reading List" extension in the Chrome store, also not recognized by Opera (and doesn't work properly in Opera One). Bookmarks are inferior at least because they require giving up screen space with an additional bar, unlike a drop-down extension whose icon can be put on the extension bar and a list that drops vertically. Of all the extensions I've had in Opera over the past 19 years, Borek's has easily been the most used and invaluable.

@leocg Ok, but how do I use the synchronized content? For example, how do I get the SD data into the SD on the laptop, and how do I get the Passwords into the part of settings? Or is it all manual (re-)entry from here?

I'm trying to sync for the first time some of my desktop setup to a new laptop. I'm logged into Opera sync on both devices and see my synchronized content on the source end. I created a passphrase on the source end and checked encrypted so I can send passwords too. Now what? The laptop says "View your synchronized data," but then says I have no sync data stored on the next screen. It says to sign in to start syncing, but I already am. And the video showing how to sync is on a smartphone. Not particularly helpful.

@leocg Opera One, up to date. I wouldn't think it would be a problem since it's within Opera, but after having a new monitor not work with my email program within Win 10 a couple of weeks ago, I don't take anything for granted.

Anyone using To-Read extension with Win 11? Any problems? Before I decide whether to go to Win 11, there are a few things that work in Win 10 that are invaluable to me and To-read is one of them. Thanks,

@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.
