I am an idiot. Thanks for your response - of course it worked.

I'm trying to uninstall-delete-remove ADBLOCKPLUS, an extension for Opera. It is easy to to this in Chrome - you just click on the trash can to the right of the extension. That's not there in Opera. I looked around and found nothing. After deleting the extension's folder didn't work, I uninstalled and reinstalled Opera a couple of times. ADBLOCKPLUS is still there, grayed out, in extensions. Someone knows a way. I beg the one who knows to tell me how to do it. Please.

I am bitching about yet another email program's demise - the death of opera mail. Bitch bitch bitch.

Well, O.K. - I can't hope that Opera Mail isn't a jive. Since it's (http://www.opera.com/computer/mail) still there this induces cognitive dissonance. Overcoming that, I can try accepting that Opera Mail is abandonware. Thunderbird https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ isn't abandonware, but it doesn't import from Opera Mail. Maybe I'll just Outlook Express all my old email into oblivion as a much quicker solution than figuring an import method.

dirty PS-2 mouse probable cause of problem :whistle:

With that extension disabled, I can still encounter a freeze, but not gobs of them as before. I just added 360 Internet Protection to Chrome to see if that gets me freezes on the AP site.

Thanks for asking. Yes I do:

I will try disabling it and see if the freezes at AP cease. If so, I will report having trouble with this extension.

After browsing the news items briefly at http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/fronts/RAW?SITE=AP (maybe only one article, but usually several) Opera the reloading circle twirls when I click the back arrow and twirls and twirls. I can close the tab or shut it down to end the hang. This does not happen in Chrome Version 42.0.2311.152 m (64-bit). I've sort of eliminated malware and outdated drivers, which indicates that Opera isn't dealing with the AP site correctly.

Thank you, leocg, for informing me that Opera Mail isn't alive. I was trying to use it in place of my default mail client in Opera 12. Opera 27 is slower but less misbehaved than 12, so it's set as my default browser. I like Opera Mail better than Thunderbird, but it seems like Opera views Mail the way Microsoft viewed Outlook Express. Sayanora, nice little email program.
