RE: I need to downgrade to a specific version of Opera and block any further downloadsOpera for Windows
@homeaccount
I've uninstalled Google Chrome so it is not the source of the continuing appearance of this. Since Firefox doesn't generate this widget, it must still be Opera which means for certain it first appeared before 67.0.3575.115 -
RE: I need to downgrade to a specific version of Opera and block any further downloadsOpera for Windows
Thanks for the suggest
Currently downgraded to 67.0.3575.115But the thing continues to show up.
I've nuked it in MS EDGE, could it be showing up because of Google Chrome even though I haven't got that open, or could it have been implemented in Opera before 67.0.3575.137 which is why it is showing up on my system still?

Thanks, do you know when this feature was first introduced?

I need to downgrade to a specific version of Opera and block any further downloadsOpera for Windows
I need to go back to the version of Opera that doesn't display this on screen volume control. Then I need to disable upgrades without the use of a firewall.
If it is not possible to identify the last version that doesn't throw this up, then just the ability to prevent upgrades without needing to use a firewall would be very useful.

RE: Where is the "Recently closed tabs/Tab menu" button on the top right?Opera for computers
Where can I access the recently closed windows feature in Opera.
This used to be in a hamburger menu in the top right of the main windows, until quite recently.

RE: Mysterious Uploads of Several GBs through OperaOpera for Windows
Other possibilities include a background page running in a speed dial or tab that has a website-code callout to the adnxs server, or an adware infection in your Opera installation. Fortunately (somewhat), adnxs is a major 'legitimate' ad server and not inherently malware of itself.
Most likely the website-code callout you mention. Probably also on one of my fav blogs. Needed to close that one tab and everything was good... I have been able to replicate the problem since so I am fairly certain now.

How did you find out that it comes from Opera? And what about those addresses?

Mysterious Uploads of Several GBs through OperaOpera for Windows
For several weeks, I have noticed mysterious uploads commencing daily and sometimes uploading several gigabytes of data to several web addresses all have the address ..adnxs.com
I have tried placing the following in Windows hosts file:
127.0.0.1 ib.anycast.adnxs.com
127.0.0.1 adnxs.com
127.0.0.1 fra1-ib.adnxs.combut this strange behaviour continues. It only happens through Opera and I am wondering why Opera allows this to happen. I can't seem to block this site from accessing my computer and uploading seemingly without any action from me huge amounts of data. I know this is not an infection, so I am wondering what I can do to block this from happening.
