I screwed everything up and I'mm too tired to fix it!
Sorry.

why do you think that someone need a clone of Chrome?

We don't think, we know. The old rendering engine was falling behind technologically and the dev team felt their resources would be better utilized by adopting a renderer made by someone else and focusing on building a good UI for it instead of trying to compete with companies like Google and Microsoft. The old Opera UI was not compatible with the new renderer and it would have taken more work to adapt it then start from scratch. So, here we are.

Isn't that a switch for Blink versions ?

Woops. Thanks. Removed.

The only working solution is to block access to address "autoupdate.opera.com" in your firewall (or add it to the Hosts file if you don't have a FW). I don't know why Opera team is still disabling TLS 1.1 and 1.2 remotely on all clients...

Have you tried the opera:config method noted above in <https://forums.opera.com/post/55410 >? Regardless, some time ago, I also blocked Opera's autoupdater (via renaming the updater file) just to be sure my own settings aren't perturbed any more. As to why Opera continues disabling TLS 1.1 and 1.2, I believe there's a definite though not universal stability problem for some users and sites if those settings are turned on with SSL3 turned off (see: <https://forums.opera.com/post/55555 > plus a myriad of past posts in various forums). I think Opera has set their update server to auto-respond to every Presto Opera startup "ping" with their SSL-TLS fix instructions. In the past, they've auto-delivered JavaScript updates and other things at that startup point, so it's not unprecedented.
