Being a longtime user of Opera I understand that it has a free VPN feature but there is little official info about it on the web. I wondered what the benefits of using it would be, and whether it is reliable, easy to switch off etc , don't want to get stuck in another Country ! Also is it as secure as browsing "normally" or does it have its limitations ?

In Opera I use Operas own adblocker. In settings , block ads,manage lists there is a button option to update the lists. However clicking on update it would be nice to see the word updated ,instead nothing is shown so a user can not tell whether the definitions update was successful or not,

Original poster here. leocg gave an address to use to find the latest version but I can only see up to the version released 6th December. What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks for the explanation

Thanks for the explanation.

For sometime now when clearing recent data etc in settings, at the base of the recent data box it says "To clear browsing data from this device only, while keeping it in your Google Account Sign Out". To me this is nonsensical, why hasn't something been done to address this issue in a recent update etc ?

OK not a major issue but when I browse to an Amazon.co.uk site the Amazon assistant icon appears at the right of the address bar. If I right click the sign there are two options, to "install now" and "not now". Amazon is the only site that has this annoyance. I have my permissions for notifications set to "ask" first, but how do I get rid of Amazon assistant completely ? If i go to an Amazon site tomorrow it will reappear. It is not listed in my extensions folder either and as it only seems to appear in Opera ,can I draw my own conclusions from this?

Thanks !

I've just seen it is possible to upload image of potential issue ,so here it is .

While browsing the forums I see the usual red "O" sign on the tab , I only ever have one tab/window open. I noticed today that the icon shows the figure 1 or 2 in the icon sometimes. Is this normal and what does it signify ?
