Download Opera browser with:
Yes, I had a crash.
Yes, I had to reinstall Windows (10 Pro, it is all updated back to current)
Yes, I have a Windows.old folder on my system, chock full of application data.
Yes, I used Opera (post v100) when the crash happened.
Is there a way I can tell Opera to look in those folders and bring the data into my current installation?
If this has been covered recently, like since v90, show me where the response is. Thanks for any help you can provide.
I've noticed a slow process when a redirect URL is clicked-on in a web page (it's not particular to any particular kind)
The redirect URL comes up with a DNS failure, but then after a few seconds, apparently retries the URL, and the connection to the actual URL goes through.
Opera One(version: 100.0.4815.76)
System:Windows 10 64-bit (Win10 Pro, version 22H2)
Chromium version:114.0.5735.199
[local image pasted from computer; not on a public website)
Version 99.0.4788.47, just upgraded yesterday (5 June).
Note at the top of this image (which is showing YouTube in the foreground), that the tab title is a duplicate of another tab's content, the streaming service Peacock to which I $ub$cribe.
Is this an Opera issue, or not?

This has happened with the latest Opera (I got it last night - 22 Sept 2022)... is this an Opera problem or a graphics card issue?
@akanido Of course, I've also contacted Affirm, directly and through social media. This has to be brought out into the open.
I have very little money to spend every month, in part due to my Internet bill, and now Opera expects me to use Affirm to save me money on purchases I can not afford anyway. Opera has many good things going for it, but like a lot of businesses, their leaders appear to be punishing the less fortunate. I want to disable any sign of Affirm whenever I use Opera. Please help me to do so.

It has at least three animated GIFs, which fail to load.
If I right-click on any of them, and select open image in new tab, they load normally.
What to I need to do to make the GIFs load in the page?

The options in the basic browser are limited to continental ones (Americas, Europe, Asia)
Do any of the addons available allow more specific settings? Say, a specific country? Or even a specific location, even in the US? You've probably heard of sites geolimited to a radius from a city.
@donq As of this morning it had cleared up, but I'll continue to monitor it. Hardware acceleration always puzzled me, sometimes it helps and sometimes it hurts.
For example, a random thumbnail link on a Youtube channel will not appear, with just a white space in its place.
Or, at a local newspaper, some of the buttons to control display of the PDF edition, or parts of a banner ad, disappear in the same way.
Minimizing, then restoring, the tab remedies the problem, but of course it shouldn't be occurring in the first place.
I have absolutely followed all the steps to which you referred in your introductory posts, and this is strictly an Opera situation.
The monitor is a Dell 2009W analog, and I am quite aware that the company discontinued it, yet there are still plenty of them out there.
Is it an Opera thing, or a Windows (10) thing, that the taskbar button colour is a deep orange? Thanks.
It doesn't happen immediately I open Opera, but every time I open it in the last 3 or 4 days, the pop-down appears saying extensions need to be updated. Is this a bug, or are their actually updates being sent multiple times?
@naheed I understand. I will pursue this issue through the feedback function for requesting new features.
I have followed the post's instructions, but would like to know how to convert the number noted for the zoom factor (an extremely-long decimal number) into a factor I am more familiar with from other browsers.
When I used other browsers prior to Opera, I was able to tweak settings to allow zoom levels that weren't standard to them. Lately I've found that an 85% level is easier to read than the standard 80 or 90%. What would / could I do to allow an 85% level to be selected?

Thanks.
I use a Windows 10 Pro system at home, and recently switched to Opera after using Firefox and Edge.
In the last few days, either when I start Opera after turning on the computer, or sometimes randomly while reading sites I know to be advertising-heavy, I will get a User Account Control dialog about my Windows Defender blocking Opera from doing something (that it never specifies) and asking to allow access from private or public networks.
My initial belief was that I'd only need to allow such access once, and then UAC would remember not to ask again, and yet, it's done so at least three times. What do I need to do to reduce or alleviate these UAC 'roadblocks'?
