Windows 10: Opera & Facebook

I am using Opera as my default at present. Facebook has started filling my page up with 'suggested for you' and these must include almost every newspaper in the country. Opera has a built in ad blocker but these 'ads' on FB are getting though. Help!

:)

 

Why Opera Facebook Is In Russian?

It was showing Opera facebook in Russian in all browsers, but I figured out the reason: On their page I noticed "switch region" & they decided for my country, that suitable language is Russian (which is nonsense in my opinion). I had to switch to United States to get it ENG Opera facebook. Yeah, I understand that my country is close territorially to Russia, but it doesn't mean we speak Russian or we have anything common with them. I'd definitely prefer international language - English. This is so stupid from Opera, or Facebook or whoever made it that way.

 

Why Opera Facebook Is In Russian?


Can anyone explain me why Opera browser's official facebook page is in Russian? All their posts are in Russian & in comments only Russian users and also there are lots of spam from users on their page. As far as I know Opera is or at least was Norwegian company. Did they sold it to Russians?
I asked my questions on their page & no one replied.

 

Choose speed, productivity and innovation with Opera 9.6

Opera Software today launched Opera 9.6, the newest version of Opera’s award-winning Web browser. Opera 9.6 enhances the performance and flexibility of Opera’s built-in e-mail client, while adding new features to Opera’s free browser-synchronization service, Opera Link. Opera 9.6 is available as a free download from Opera.com


What’s new in Opera 9.6

• Expanded Opera Link

Opera lets you take your favorite search engines and the browser history you enter wherever you go. Opera Link also synchronizes notes taken in your Opera browser, your bookmarks, Speed Dial and personal bar.

• Optimized Opera Mail

Stuck with a slow connection? Our built-in e-mail client, Opera Mail, now includes “low-bandwidth mode” to retrieve mails even faster when bandwidth is limited.

• Prioritized e-mail

Opera Mail has two new ways to manage e-mail conversations. Keep an eye on important threads and contacts by following them, or ignore less important threads and contacts with a single click.

• Increased speed:

Opera 9.6 improves the quick responsiveness and page loading of Opera 9.5.

• Previewed feeds

Look before you feed. Now you can see an RSS feed’s content before subscribing to it or even bookmarking it. Opera gives you a clean, multi-column preview for each RSS feed so you know what to expect before you subscribe.

• Improved fluency

Opera is pleased to add support for Indonesian, Ukrainian, Estonian, Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil languages.


“We believe in making the Web available for people everywhere,” said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. “The people who use Opera need it to adapt to their needs and we’re proud to continue that tradition today. Our improved e-mail client is now the ideal communication tool. Opera Link gives you more flexibility to take your personal browsing identity with you to any computer. The new Opera 9.6 gives more people around the world new reasons to choose Opera.”

Of course, Opera 9.6 includes many features Opera users have already come to know and love. Speed Dial gives you one-click access to your favorite sites. Take notes as you browse, and connect them to the page you’re browsing. Save and restore browsing sessions after you close the browser and never lose a Web site or e-mail if you accidentally close a tab. Surf with ease, thanks to mouse gestures. All these features and many others bring a fresh approach to browsing the Web in Opera 9.6.
