Off-lining Opera

(1/1)

JennyB:
I was a happy Opera user for many years, but now I find that the combination of Gmail+chrome+extensions suits me better.

This has left me with a massive Opera database (mail RSS and newsgroups) that I only want to keep as a searchable archive.

Two problems:

For some reason the latest update of Opera insists that it is the default email handler, so it starts every time I click a mailto: link.
How can I keep the present set of newsgroup message without Opera wanting to fetch more?

hpearce:
Windows Default Program settings ?

Settings -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Programs -> Details -> Uncheck "news" and "mailto". That should do the trick, although you'll have to set up another program as the default, dunno if you can set up Chrome as the default handler system-wide.

For the second question, I guess there should be an option for that somewhere, but since I don't use M2 I can't tell, sorry.
