@nfranke No worries, you explained it just fine! That does sound really annoying though. It might be some shortcut in Opera that's getting triggered by the en dash. Maybe check the keyboard settings in Opera and see if you can turn that off. Hopefully someone here has a quick fix!

@jaxx0rr said in Opera installer takes 5 minutes to load on a fresh Win 11 / SSD / 32gb ram:

I dont really use Opera, I sometime use it to test a new web page im working on..
but I found this a deterring factor since the competition (chrome, edge, firefox) installs in seconds...
so whats up with that ?
is chrome intentionally delaying it ?
weird..

Yeah, that’s definitely odd. I’ve noticed Opera feels a bit heavier during install too, especially compared to how quick Chrome or Firefox sets up. Could be something with background components or how it handles updates. Not sure if Chrome’s doing anything intentionally, but it’s things like this that make testing across browsers more annoying than it should be!
