For me, the VPN works great for bypassing sites blocked by the router. It's set up like this on purpose so that Windows cannot leak crash reports and whatever telemetry.

If Opera VPN cannot handle name server lookups, are there plans to add a setting for this? Are people saying it's just a web proxy because it doesn't currently handle DNS?

Just wondering.

Had to play with the checkbox, close opera, open opera, check/uncheck.

Eventually in settings "Open PDF files in the default PDF viewer application." it worked by unchecking it and the internal PDF viewer handles it once more. I didn't have foxit or any other plugins, just the native one.

Thanks all.
The native PDF renderer is very good and I missed it. :norris: #checknorris

OP SOLVED

@sgunhouse understood.

I just want this PDF to work. Every time I open a PDF it saves itself in a loop. I must close the browser or I will eventually get low space warning. This was because I disabled the Chrome PDF plugin in the previous version. I thought the behavior carried over. None of the PDF options work in any setting

Now I can't fix the problem unless I reinstall Opera, which I will do and erase any leftover reg entries and dirs.

Also, I am glad plugins are gone. I never made one but I played with extensions. Mentioning PPAPI Flash, I'm sure that is a reference to security and plugins. FF did something like this not too long ago.

I should really be thankful its gone since the first thing I do when I install a browser (and it's a zen-like experience for me) is harden all the flags. :party:

It's not going to matter too much, I could just wait for when we install the new Windows 10.

WHERE is the plugins menu?

If you have disabled plugins from the previous versions, is there no way to re-enable them without manually editing config files?

I use the browser as an alternative to FF. I'm considering this a mistake by the developers but the campaign integration + speed tile ads are a step in the wrong direction.

Reverting to 43 because I can't access a plugin to tick a switch may be easier than trying to find the file to edit and toggle the plugin...

Should I try beta/nightly? Do they still have the plugin menu?
