Another reason I’m grateful to the creators of Opera. Best browser I know of, especially its home page with user-created and -controlled tiles to favorite websites.
I do not disagree Steve. I like Opera a lot, especially fond of the built-in VPN and Speed Dial features.

Haha. Nice pun mate. 🙂
Not having a problem with that Junk I don’t use, but I am having strange behavior that I have no other reason to blame for. I seldom have M$ Windows update problems but this might be one of those releases we all dread.
