tyvm for your detailed response. It gives me something to work with.
I have been using Opera for at least 10 years. Its not perfect but I hate MS so its a very viable alternative.

I build my own machines but I have zero formal training. I am totally self taught but I only know what I know.
Once I put one together I usually forget things. My pc's are quite old and with W10 going away I will have to build another. My machines were highend builds for games. Current prices are a real deterant tho, $2K for a quality vid card is a real pisser. Costs what my entire past builds cost. Quite annoying considering the new stuff is not really that much better than the past parts.

again tyvm

hmmmmmmm

not really an answer now is it.

If I uninstall an earlier version, it boinks the whole install. For some reason they are dependent on each other. I know this because I tried last year.

So I ask again, why do I need so many installed versions in my pc, some being 3 years old.

Why does my w10 app show every opera update?
all say stable opera, ones from 2023....
