@gustavomolina Yes interns were involved. They escaped from a looney bin and were hired by Opera's equally looney management. In truth, Opera is now owned by the Chinese. Go figure.

@damacan It's becoming a nuisance. How does one disable the splash screen?

@alegzandriia See if your browser has an ad blocker installed. The name Ad Blocker is a trade name for a blocker product that youtube wants to by-pass. My browser, Avast Secure, has a scale of blocking from basic to a high level that is sometimes too much. Before Avast, I had Opera but its 'upgrades' are a mess but the blocker worked. Give Avast Secure a try. They will want you to upgrade but I see no reason to do so. Keep trying, I haven't seen an ad, so these other blockers do work!

The circus act that has become Opera should disband. Go back to the last working, effective, intuitive version and work on the next 'version' when you clowns get it together. Whatever Opera pays their 'developers' is way too much for such mind-boggling incompetence. Take some winos out of the back alleys and give them a crack at a new version.

@raphaelbm Thanks for the info. I will still sit on the sidelines until Opera gets it together, if ever.

@paul-durham Thanks for the detailed installation process. I will try it at a later date.

@xb70 I haven't used Opera for several weeks. Has the browser gotten over the issues of 100? If Opera can get it's act together, I'll go back but not until they get things straighten out.

@paul-durham Thanks for the info on Firefox. I will take a look at it.

@celticcross I've read that Firefox is heading for the last round-up. I used it years ago and liked it. You seem to know your browsers but what can we do? A few months ago Yahoo Finance changed their look and the users were outraged. It was a dreadful mess that was approved by the higher or is it lower-ups. Yahoo quickly went back to the former format. Yahoo listened to their viewers. Why does Opera still continue their stubborn refusal to appease their viewers? Any way I am pleased with Avast but I do long for the earlier days of browsing, simple and responsive.

@celticcross I tried Vivaldi and found it difficult with the settings. Now, I use Avast Secure Browser. I am happy. I do hope Opera gets it together but I won't go back to them.
