@leocg That's the thing. It never updates on it's own. I always have to do it manually which means I have to remember to check frequently or I get out of date.
So how is autoupdate supposed to work? What does it need and what is the drill for finding out why it does not work? I tried a clean profile - a big PIA and still not effective. Can we confirm that it does actually work...somewhere, or am I wasting my time?
@leocg Yeah, I've been doing it manually for a couple years.
77.0.4054.277 and several earlier versions, W10
I have tried a re-install but still get no autoupdates. During re-install two tasks get entered in Task Scheduler both calling
...\appdata\local\programs\opera\launcher.exe --(etc)
but I can't tell if either runs since History tab is disabled.
So how to enable history for these tasks or better yet find a log,
and how to get autoupdate to run?
@leocg said in Find in Page by pressing the period key:

Many thanks. Just had to change it from forward slash back to period.
I used to be able to initiate Find in Page with a press of the period key. That was very handy - hit the period key and just keep typing the search value. While I wasn't looking somebody apparently removed it. If it still works and I can recover it with a setting change somewhere I'd be grateful if someone can help me out.
@burnout426 Is that mouseover supposed to work in O12 also? When I mouseover, the folder shows an underline but no tooltip. Maybe there is a setting I am not seeing.
@herrpietrus Opera Speed Dial is what keeps me tied to Opera. The day someone comes up with a reasonable knock-off....
@fdauti Actually there are. By my count here it is Opera 15, Vivaldi 6, Brave 3. Pick your poison.
@leocg I want to believe you but something that can read and change data, settings, even copy and paste contents not to mention being enabled in private window when all other legit extensions are not has an uphill battle to show they are harmless.
@xtorbax The trouble with that is when I open a private window and then check all those hidden extensions for which I have unchecked the boxes, those Allow in incognito boxes have been re-checked by Opera. So I guess the answer is they are active in Private window and are going to stay active. That's getting a bit intrusive in my book and I hope O comes to their senses on this.
Are the hidden extensions like Aliexpress Observer and Amazon Promotion disabled in Private Window? I don't see a way to verify that. Hoping somebody knows.
@leocg Yes but that banner reveals that hidden extensions exist, extensions that none of us realized were there.
@mathias87 Have you started Opera with the "--show-component-extension-options" command? I didn't think I had hidden extensions either until I started with that command.
@leocg I disagree. Eight hidden extensions that I cannot disable, all with intrusive permissions that I did not grant is not a minor issue. This shakes my confidence in Opera in a way I did not think possible. This is not a minor privacy issue. I should think Opera would realize that.
I don't have Rich HInts Agent showing on my extensions page yet I also have the notification. Also --show-component-extension-options has no effect here.
All this chatter yet it isn't enough to awaken a single mod. Strange.
@kevin07 Dont have the problem anymore - all is fine now. Yes, the latest - 71.0.3770.198
@newworldman For awhile it was starting a new day at midnight GMT but the times were local so that a new day started not a midnight local but at whatever local time corresponded to midnight GMT. If I remember right that got fixed and the new day started at midnight local but the day of the week was wrong - not sure of the details there because I had given up keeping track.
@newworldman Yeah, they finally fixed the date problem but as you point out focus has gone from search to the address bar. Hope that is an oversight that will eventually get fixed.
