Good news! Probably Opera 97 can work 100% properly, but I must backport DWrite.dll from Windows 10. It will be not easy I think.

@win32, @legacyfan

Guys, you do understand you need to block Opera from spying, right ?

Here I give you my ready-made scripts for netsh. This is for Windows Firewall.

I traced the most important IPs were it leaks your data. Enjoy !

Advfirewall Firewall add rule name="OperaChinoSpy_OFF" dir=in profile=any localip=any remoteip=3.120.0.0/14,13.32.23.0/24,34.208.0.0/12,37.228.104.0/21,52.58.0.0/15,54.191.0.0/16,74.125.131.94,74.125.205.102,78.46.0.0/15,81.19.82.98,82.145.192.0/19,82.145.208.0/22,82.145.212.0/24,82.145.213.0/24,82.145.215.0/24,82.145.216.0/22,82.145.220.0/22,91.203.97.0/24,107.167.123.0/24,141.0.8.0/22,141.0.12.0/22,173.194.73.103,185.26.180.0/22,195.189.142.0/24,195.189.143.0/24,213.180.204.193 protocol=any action=block

What is your current version of DWrite.dll ? I mean the one in Vista (not the alien one from win10).

De-bloat, de-crapify Opera, these are the only files that it needs to run trouble free. EDIT : updated screenshot.

@NotHereToPlayGames, for you ! I know you will appreciate (in contrast to some others).

This is very helpful, thanks.

As for the Topic, 

I see no download links for the ported version 96. How do I do this ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I already explained in the topic why I can't share the ready-made modded Opera versions here. It's illegal. Maybe you need to use some form of machine translation.

https://msfn.org/board/topic/184249-chrome-110-based-opera-i-ported-it-to-vista/?do=findComment&comment=1233297

The link to the official Opera is here. You would need to mod it, but I no longer share the info on how to do it, due to a recent incident of its misuse/abuse.

Now I can only share with the moderators, if they are interested.

So your choice would be to download and wait for the Vista Kernel to be released (it will include my Opera hacks, also).

How so?  I mean, if we play strict and to the letter, then "extended kernels" and "POSReady" are both 'illegal', are they not?

Unless I'm mistaken, Microsoft regards nLite's, NTLite's, and vLite's ability to "remove unwanted components" from OEM Install Media as 'illegal'.

Nobody is being banned from MSFN for using or discussing "extended kernels" and your Opera "fix" is much MUCH different - it could become a shared fix on OPEN SOURCE software versus a shared fix on a CLOSED SOURCE operating system.

1 - Where do you see any type of links to the ready-made kernel at MSFN ?

2 - He asked about ready made links, he wrote "I see no download links for the ported version 96".

3 - No, Opera is NOT Open source, Chromium yes, Opera no.

I shared my methods with the several of our members (including win32, legacyfan, that guy who ran away, etc), they were all able to follow my hacks and got it working.

But I didn't share anything ready-made, and not going to, esp. considering the enormous amount of hostility I encountered here lately, and you just've seen it yourself .
