@saeedp How Ironic that the best place to find alternatives to the "New Opera" is an Opera forum. I've been an Opera user for a number of years but once they eliminated the "Auto-Update Off" feature things have gone downhill. I'm 46 years old... I'm looking for a lightweight browser that gives me control of privacy & security settings and has decent options for extensions (mainly add blockers). I don't want AI to help me shop or book a vacation rental and I damn sure don't need an interface for every social media site in existence.
Thank you all for your posts. It gives me hope that I am not THAT far outside the mainstream!
