Thanks, leocg.

I usually open Google to Past Year (https://encrypted.google.com/webhp?hl=en&safe=off&output=search&tbs=qdr:y). Is it possible to incorporate that address in the Google bar?

There is an addon called Font Changer (download from Chrome). Upside: makes fonts as visible as you want. Downside: Considers all little icons to be font elements but can't render them, so result is empty boxes. Switching between modes is easy but irritating.

Ok, thanks.

Where can I find Opera 44 portable?

Answered: No reason. Copied to C: and works fine.

Installed portable on usb and copied bookmarks. Is there some reason why I can't install portable on the C drive?

Ok, thanks both.

I am using opera 44. But wish to install the latest stable version to see what it's like. How can I have 2 versions installed?

Right click on the filename and select "save linked content as . . .". Works in Google search, haven't tried elsewhere. (Opera 44)

enter: chrome://flags/
There's a search box. Enter "Pass"
one of the found topics will be "Password import and export"
Click that and set to "enabled"
Now, when in Settings/Privacy and Security/Passwords you will see Import and Export options.
Note that you can't add to the passwords without going to the site and logging in, then click OK on Save this Password.

leocg, thanks for the advice.

Yes. Disabled Opera Block Ads and AdBlock and the find box stays alive.

Not always, but say 1 out of 4 new tabs opened from bookmarks sit and spin for up to 30 seconds. Sometimes a Fail to Connect page flashes for a moment and then the site comes up. I can't see any consistency as to which are slow or not. Is there a setting that might make this happen?

I re-installed opera 44 and copied bookmarks from a backup. Is it possible to import extensions from the backup or some other source?

Check your shortcut to open Opera. Right click on it and select Properties. It should be running launcher.exe. If not, try running launcher.exe directly from File Explorer. If that works, change the shortcut.

I use an extension called Font Changer with Google Web Fonts. Has a good array of Google fonts and allows size and style adjustment. Only problem: it kills small symbols like boxes, etc which are regarded as font elements. So I have to disable it on some sites.

Thanks for the clarification. I'll give it another try.

I read the Opera error page after trying to reload this site. At its suggestion I went to settings and disabled Use Proxy for Local Servers. Works fine now.

OK, I get it. Opera mail uses only its own server. I assumed a mail program could be used on my present server (Comcast).
