@leocg said in Opera portable updates to the non-existent 99 version:

@kirill1996 maybe because you don't have at least Windows 11, needed to install Opera from version 96?

Or maybe you have downloaded an old offline installer?

The problem was that I could not access the files from under the new account to the Opera folder on the other partition of the drive.
Got full access to the folder and updated offline with the installer with no problem.

This is only the beginning. It has been reported that Russia intends isolating the country from the World Wide Web similar to China.

@originalkiril If you enable the use of a passphrase, everything in Sync web page will be locked and encrypted.

In Opera, you can do transactions in a private window. Make sure Opera's adblocker and tracking protection is turned on. Goto the URL opera://extensions and make sure no extensions are allowed to run in a private window except for maybe your password manager. If you goto the URL opera://settings/privacy, you'll see "protect me from malicious sites". That's like what Yandex does for its "protect from dangerous" sites feature.

Yandex itself does examine your downloads and sends bits of suspicious files to a server to be analyzed where it then flags the download and warns you. Opera doesn't have that. But, your anti-virus will scan downloads that Opera fetches.

Yandex does do strict verification of certificates in protected mode. But, I'm not sure what's involved in that exactly. Opera will warn you if something is wrong with a certificate and the connection though.

Yandex does have a Secure Wifi feature that runs your connection through some kind of encrypted tunnel/proxy/VPN through their servers to provide extra privacy on a public, unencrypted Wifi connection. This is in addition to the normal secure and encrypted https connection that should already be happening on a trusted site like a bank. Opera doesn't have this exactly, but you might gain some extra security turning on Opera's VPN when on public wifi. Or, for all programs, a system-wide VPN could be used.

So, Opera already has a lot of the things Yandex has. But, it might be nice to have the few missing features and have a Smartbox to control it all like Yandex has. I don't need it myself, but it wouldn't hurt.

@kirill1996 I think you're talking about tab snoozing and no, it's not removed or anything, you probably just got the wording wrong while searching for it.

@kirill1996 said in Encrypting extension settings when using a passphrase:

and encrypt it with a passphrase,

Correct in that Opera encrypts some of your data and protects some of your data from being used on another account (on the same PC or a different one). This includes extension stuff. Whether you yourself encrypt Opera's profile in some way before transferring it to another computer makes no difference. The data is already encrypted/protected.

Opera does make an exception for extensions in standalone/portable installations though. You should be able to transfer those to a new PC and keep extensions and their data. I think passwords will still fail to be recognized on the other computer though. But, you an rely on an extension for a password manager instead or rely on Opera Sync to sync passwords, but export your passwords first just in case. Speaking of that, you can just export your passwords and import them on the other PC.

Any difference if you uninstall ublock and install the version from the Chrome webstore?

@kirill1996 You can report it at https://security.opera.com/report-security-issue/

Select Web Service and then addons.opera.com
