I have a free SurfEasy account which worked just fine in Opera until a few days ago, and now won't connect to anything. Is this because SurfEasy thought the free VPN in Opera would go live with version 38, but Opera delayed it until version 39? If so there doesn't seem to be much communication going on!

Printing a webpage to PDF using Opera seems to generate large, sometimes huge, PDF files, depending on which PDF printer I use. For example, printing a page from the Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews creates files with the following sizes:

• Opera36 save using PDFium: 163kb
• Opera36 save using PDFXchange 4: 2,513kb
• Opera36 save using AdobePDF: 2,815kb

This is compared to the same page saved from FireFox 45:

• FF45 save using FFPDF: 169kb
• FF45 save using PDFXchange 4: 95kb
• FF45 save using AdobePDF: 74kb

Different pages yield different results - The Atlantic seems to generate smaller files from Opera than from Firefox.

Does anyone have any insight into why the huge variation in filesizes? Why would a file generated through the same PDF driver (PDFXchange or AdobePDF) be so much bigger from one browser than another? Thanks!

(BTW, Opera 36.0.2130.32 - Windows 7 64-bit)
