I am not an advanced user, but unless Opera is getting revenue from the Messengers that it carries, or adding Signal is somehow otherwise infeasible, look into it. Would go with the free VPN service--in theme. (I know, WhatsApp is encrypted, but not as well. I don't use it.)

I have two Win Pro 10/64 computers. 67.0.3575.31 exhibits the same problems as described by AnthG--no go. I completely uninstalled it together with my data. On the other Win Pro 10/64 works fine. I will attempt to reinstall once again but without any data retained and report back, but I am doubtful. It installed and seemed okay--UNTIL I tried to Sync it--then it reverted to not responding behavior like before. On the other computer it is sync'ed, so I don't get it. Opera, you have a problem. Seems to work briefly while attempting to sync, then bombs out before syncing, while attempting to do so. I will once again uninstall, including the data, and refer back here to see if Opera has fixed this, only using it without any synchronization. Yes, I am using another browser to report this, the Chromium version of Edge, FWIW.

@sgunhouse This worked after I scrolled lower on the page and found the Windows 64-bit link, which DID indicate the correct version 70.0.3728.106 and in fact did install that version. I am now back up with Opera. Thank you SGunhouse (and LeoCG). Henceforth I will be aware that one should scroll lower, and find the 64-bit (in my case) version. I do wish that Opera would fix its Update & Recovery function within the browser, which never works for me (although I may work for others and has occasionally worked on another computer).

@xb70 the FTP page does allow one to drill down to the specific version, Windows, and 64-bit, etc. also. Thank you LeoCG. http://get.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/

@leocg Maybe you are in Brazil. You provided the Brazilian page. The US page is this: https://www.opera.com/download?os=windows
Sadly this appears to be the only download option, as it is the same as the one from which I have already downloaded.

@leocg I downloaded the installer: OperaSetup.exe from Opera's download page. Can you provide a link to the "offline installer," if different? Does the offline one specify which version you are installing?

@leocg I have tried to Update & Recovery within Opera numerous times, but it always bombs out. Therefore I used Opera Download, Opera's download page.

I know that 70.0.3728.106 is the latest stable version, and have it installed on other computers (all Win 10), and previously had 70.0.3728.98 installed here, yet attempting to update to 70.0.3728.106 resulted in an installation of 69.0.3686.47 ! I will leave Opera until such time as they fix their installation and "upgrade" issues. (The Update and Recovery function in the browser never works either--ugh. I always have to go the the Opera Download page to update. And now this!) Since MS Edge is also Chromium, I am forced to use that unless someone can help me discover some sort of workaround.

For example the current Opera v. 67.0.3575.31 corresponds to what version of Chrome? Why? This: https://www.zdnet.com/article/chrome-80-update-cripples-top-cybercrime-marketplace/ Is there a way to tell that for future reference?

@xb70 Now the other computer that was working while sync'ed, is exhibiting the same behavior--"not responding," so long as attempting sync.

@xb70 I miswrote tabs, when I should have posted bookmarks within the bookmark bar.

@jimmybfmv I am referring to the order of the saved bookmarks in the bookmark bar.
