There are already topics about those subjects. Also, let's avoid generic topics.

I don't think your comment was appropriate but I have stated the facts of my "experience" with Opera both in the past and present. I am not seeking attention just stating my comments. As for Opera it is now only on one computer, in the household and when/if it gets removed permanently from that one too I will cease to have need to write to this forum.

What's the "rival browser?"

@mike88 Running the regular installer usually helps too.

@mike88 Yes, it may be. Have seen it a couple of times before.

@mike88 It seems that the button to download Opera appears for everyone.

Disabling the new tracker protection of Opera made the websites ok. or it could just be a coinidence.

@sgunhouse I have chrome://flags/#chromium-ua-compatibility enabled, so it's probably it.

I think the Ebay incident was a problem there end and I do not think my account has been compromised. I use different user names AND passwords for all my accounts. It's sometimes difficult to think up new ones. I do have a written list of all my accounts and passwords which is kept somewhere secure. The machinee I use to write and print the list has never been connected to the internet, so I think I am safe there.

When you say Opera has its own adblocker I again suggest it is a cutdown version of Adblock Plus, but this is just my own opinion. I tried the Pockit website again today and got that popup again. However after disabling your adblocker and installing the full Adblock Plus extension, from the Opera store, The pop up (or whatever it was) has now gone, hurray.

@mike88 You need to create or find a list in Easylist format, so it can be used by Opera's adblocker.

@mike88 Yes, it's possible. In fact, that's the only way to have two same channel Opera installations.

Yes I mean the company logo and not emoticon.
It seems strange that it happened only once when I did a search in the seperate search bar next to the address bar. However when i typed www.google.co.uk in the actual address bar and did another search the previous behaviour stopped, ie: not in address bar or search box.

In chromium 79.0.3941.4 tooltips for Windows 7 are fixed.
