@burnout426 - I appreciate the prompt reply's and helpful links. I did save the folders in my user data to a separate USB drive, then totally uninstalled Opera folders, hidden folders, and registry keys. I reinstalled Opera but it was only minimally better and my bookmarks were all transferred to "other bookmarks" folder, inside "other bookmarks" inside another and another. I removed and reinstalled 3 times and spent too many hours messing around with fixing Opera and had other projects to attend to. I gave up and removed Opera again for good, and took Chrome browser for a test drive. It is 10 times faster, no useless addons like "Crypto Wallet" that I couldn't remove and Chrome streams my videos faster and more clearly and is easy to navigate. So far so good and I'm staying with Chrome. It works better on my old PC and laptop. Thanks again for the help. Bye Opera, we had a nice run.
Do more on the web, with a fast and secure browser!
