@ddvddv: Nothing beats AdGuard, it's been the king for years, you people seriously need to mark a distance from AdBlock/AdBlocker/Adblock Plus, etc.

AdGuard and the Built in ad blocker and you're done.

I still don't see the point of having a check for updates button. Every time you go there, it looks automatically for updates and the button is disabled, after it finds nothing (usually), the button is enabled so that you do the same thing again? it's nonsense.

And it's a duplicated function, we already got the about page doing the same and more easily.

@hectormaciasa1979: *make it visible, my bad.

@hectormaciasa1979: Couldn't find anything helpful in config, so I went to flags, only thing I could find is Overlay Scrollbar for webpages, and regarding that it'd be nice if we could me it visible when hovering anywhere in the right margin of the screen instead of only the bar.

It goes thin when you're not using it and thick when you hover over it, but you have to manually locate it first, and it'd be useful to make it thick and visible just by hovering on the margin of the page.

I've just come to notice this browser uses a different scroll bar in internal pages, in the case of Speed Dial when you have a dark background picture, like a Dark Vader or a night pic, it's virtually impossible to see it, becomes unpractical when scrolling down the news.

So I was wondering how can I change it to the regular scroll bar, like the one used in webpages? Or give us a contrast option for the scroll bar so we can see it.

New 231 build but only for 32 bit users (yes, they still exist!!)

@andrew84: It doesn't matter how many rows you have, the gap remains.

I guess when Opera says Stable they mean horses and cows. It's the 7th release in less than one month.

@l33t4opera: That's the one being announced here.

The bugfix edition.
What exactly does this version feature?

Let's now wait The Pirate Bay jumps in and it'll go up!!

Hello, what's your position on Google Floc? Are you gonna block it too... please?

@leocg: No, because this entry reflects comments I made to the previous version, and it leads to think I'm pointing problems this version may have solved already. In fact the Speed Dial problem seems to be gone.

What, are you trying to save comments space?

@hectormaciasa1979: I had to go into config, hide Speed Dial, then news appeared, then show Speed Dial again, and then it showed again.

I'm quite upset!!!

Now Speed Dial stopped showing. Even after killing idle process that won't go away after closing, and restarting.

Also news won't show and my pinned tabs show content but won't show any icons.

@hectormaciasa1979: Seems your best option is to save as PDF if you need the whole area you're displaying.

It's very uncomfortable to use the snapshot tool when you want to crop a map and reach the edges, the screen starts either panning or zooming and you lose the area you wanted to cut.

@citro: 74.0.3911.154
No changelog.

Typical Opera behaviour.

Opera 74.0.3911.139 is available.

In the Bookmarks Manager full version you get your current Speed Dial listed as a separate thing from what it calls "other Speed Dials", but in the simplified pop up Bookmark Manager you get from the Side Panel, you get all Speed Dials listed in one single section.

After some reinstalls and some time you don't know for sure what's your current PC name, so it's a bit confusing even for You , as I've realized (in this is my real problem with you) that upon new installs the browser configures new Speed Dials with those annoying and horrible big letters which I so hate, then you open them and click on the small heart icon in the address bar, hoping to change it but it won't happen no matter what you do as Opera will insist in giving you the big horrible white letters, and then you open the drop down list, mostly to find out what the hell is going on and then you realize Opera isn't using the thumbnail you want to use, not from the webpage you're looking at, from the page you just opened, no, it's getting the pic from one of the older Speed Dials from past installs, why? I don't think even you know why.

Then you have to browse in that list back to your real Speed Dial for that machine and set it alright, but some times Opera simply refuses to use the new thumbnail you want it to use, no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, Opera will insist in showing those huge vomitive white letters, so I've ended copying and pasting old entries from those older Speed Dials to the new one, using the Bookmark Manager, in order to have a useful thumbnail, but God Forbid I get to use an updated thumbnail, namely one from the freaking Web Page I'm looking at in that moment, I can only settle with something I opened a year ago or something like that.

So my choices are:

1. Scratch all the Speed Dials I've used before and set it up all over again, which renders sync somewhat useless, if I want to have updated thumbnails, and understand that in the future it'll be the same thing.

2. Use older thumbnails that're still useful but sometimes reflect very old pics I'd like to change. This is my regular choice.

3. Stick with the horrible big white letters (not really an option).

Another option is to copy all the entries as bookmark entries and then export them as a HTML file, then import it back after you did whatever you had to to your PC... you get the Big White Letters again, you want a thumbnail? repeat step 1 or 2. Your HTML file was good for nothing.

I don't understand why is it so hard for you to get it right.

Windows 10, and this has been going for some years now.
