Do you see my screenshot, it atleast proves that my problem exists right?.

Yes, I've looked at and it is different layout compared to my country (your're Sweden - right?)
Might be a dumb question, but how are you "Sorting" the comments? I think by default Google Youtube defaults sort to comments as "Top comments" and one has to sort by "Newest First". Dumb question?

@diezi said in What about respect for my Privacy rights?:

Why don't you use the same extension you are using with Chrome on Opera for privacy? For example, I am using ublock origin without any problem.

Because, after looking through the browser tool bars (settings), "Easy Setup", and Settings twice, I couldn't find anything relative to add-ons, addon, or extensions. So I started right-clicking on everything, and lastly, the Big O, did I find "Extensions"! Too, I read that it may not even be done. .. so it seemed addons/extensions/apps, (whatever) were not available. My bad, but I did look around - a lot, and finally thanks to you, found it.

@lillollo said in Comment-field in youtube is gone in Opera only:

Im not allowed to create own comments on my youtube account
in any video! in Opera, counterparting links do work in Firefox and Chrome

I just tested it with Opera's latest (70.0?) browser, and again with FireFox and Chrome and had no problem commenting or commenting on another's comments.

BTW - I had no Opera add-ons (AKA extensions, programs, scripts) but have lots on Chrome (ad, tracker, cookie and stalker blockers).

Maybe it was Google detecting your mood and wanted you to cool down first? (that's next in Google's bag of goodies).

@uipestra @vegelund Instead of "googling it" I did a Internet search using phrase "opera page auto-refresh extension" and found several references to Operas add-ons and the refresh available.

Super Auto Refresh extension - Opera add-ons Last update April 23, 2015

How To Auto -Refresh Page In Opera Browser • Technobezz Article dated June 12, 2018

Since most engines don't date links any more, these could be outdated.

Update:

As intimated, I downloaded and installed Opera again. Version is unknown but found a third party website that says it's "Opera 70" and up to date.

Opera says:

but as you can see (in O/P), Chrome shows much more being blocked than Opera found. Opera foudn none, Chrome found about 61 - and this number changes with page refreshes.

Don't get me wrong. I very much hope Opera becomes the international safest browser available, that respects our rights and not erode them with 'or else' options as others do.

Ideas?

Thanks for the quick interjection. But this wasn't, if read, a post about how to post about posting issues. As I clearly pointed out, it's about browsers, Opera included, that by purpose, design or accident, include stalkers that don't seem to understand who owns our privacy and rights to it.

Hope this helps understand that many people are becoming concerned about the loss of our rights to privacy in exchange for access to internet. Many look to browsers as their lock to privacy. I think Opera was of the same mind.

I am using Chrome (Googies) to view this page, with blockers installed.
I will download and install Opera again to see again, if Opera allows or blocks forums.opera.com 61 ( right now) 'unwanted eyes'.

More and more I find I have to disable SMRC'er blockers in order to "Submit" a form, login to places (even here I had to turn off stalker-blockers and so far, 32 peeps and pervs side-stepped my rights to privacy and prevented me from viewing the site as it should appear. Oops, make that 76 perve and peeps. Some were hiding.

When I disable SMRC'ers, I can see the site better, and, can log in. Blocking SMRC'ers, I cannot login. Why? Because I have to allow the SMRC'ers access to my entire system, or else pound sand.

The Internet has been taken over by ne'er-do-well marketeers demanding access to our systems, unfettered passage through our privacy, and control of our Internet travels/views.

I am disappointed in Opera. It too preaches about ad-blockers, but in exchange for lack of insulting ads, we must accept SMRC'ers.

My/your options are, accept we've been assimilated and watch our rights to privacy be torn to shreds, or use SMRC'er blockers and lose access to most web sites.
Unfortunately, no browser can force websites to be transparent and stop the sites from taking over our devices. I would have thought that Opera would at least ensure we were not inundated with SMCR'ers too.

I cannot trust a browser that promotes privacy, even VPN, if their own site ignores our rights to privacy by using third party extensions, for which no one is responsible for - of course.

It's not that I have something to hide. I have nothing I want you to see.

@leocg said in How do I block Google from coming back?:

I think you can't change the search engine used in the error pages.

Thanks. I feel like a kid in a high-chair being spoon-fed anti-privacy browsers by corporate peeps. There must be a browser with a way to avoid Stalkers without the extra costs. I'll keep looking - thanks again.

@michaelbr Thanks. I was hoping Opera wasn't going to be as finicky as the others and not pimp out my Internet usage. I've taken to shopping the paid browsers - but the cost of maintaining my right to privacy is getting too expensive. Easier, and almost worth it to shoot the router.

Good luck with FF.

Caution - contains what Trolls will call a "rant".

@superferret22 said in Why did you dumb down Opera to something I no longer have a reason to use?:

I also noticed you added various types of snooping on users, the browser sending back the pages we visited to your central servers, and this is enabled by default, one part of it, if I'm not wrong turn off only in the power user menu? So now you can't turn it off and we have to send you the pages we visit?

I have almost eliminated everything Chrome/Google off my systems because they and too many sites consider our privacy has no value, and feel it's their right to STALK us everywhere, all the time.
I am most interested in the Stalking part. How did you find Opera is sending back our Internet use data And, even if we could disable it, doesn't mean they won't follow Google, Facebook, Apple, ... and so on by ignoring the disable request anyway. The giants have jaded users trust in anything anywhere.

[[[rant begins]]]
I agree with your comment on the sign up. I just had to agree to Opera's "optional" use of my personal data, as well as agree to the "optional" emails sent by Opera and any minions they elect to hand off my address to. Of course it took a few reads to realize that optional meant, 'Agree of get lost'.

I do see you received a reply suggestion for you get yourself a Philadelphia lawyer to read the Opera user agreements on privacy and use of Opera. It, like the rest, boils down to a simple legal extortion of 'Give up your privacy or stop using our browser - period.' It's the Internet - anything goes. We have been assimilated - resistance was futile.

I feel that the part of the response that blames it on "The web has changed, computers has changed, technology has changed." is caving in to the demands of Google and it's takeover of the Internet and control of Internet users.

I wish my expertise was with browsers. I suck with browsers. But what I do see, is that they, and web sites are all kowtowing to Google and as one SE points out, 75% of web sites are infected with Google Stalkers. Opera, being of the inbred Googie Chrome is doing a great job, IMHO, in providing another choice of browser.,, even if it's father is also it's uncle

How I wish for the days of Netscape Navigator, as it was too hard for peeps to stalk us, was more secure and worked for power users and newbies. But then again, web sites and Archie, Gopher and Altavista were honest... then corporations took over.
