(yet)" Re: "Although Chrome and Opera will currently run on Vista, they are now completely untested on the platform and could easily have dataloss bugs or similar nasties. Personally, if I were stuck on Vista and unable to upgrade to Windows 7, I'd use Firefox since it's still fully supported and tested on it. If you'd like to void your warranty and have Opera Portable run on Vista in whatever state it may be, open the file OperaPortable\App\AppInfo\Launcher\OperaPortable.ini and change MinOS=7 to MinOS=Vista to enable it. I'm unsure if Opera will be maintaining it on an ongoing basis. I may or may not package that as an alternate legacy version.
#HOW TO STOP OPERA 48 FROM AUTOUPDATE UPDATE#
Opera released a small update to an XP-compatible version of the older release. That's why Opera Portable is set just to alert and not run.
Although Chrome and Opera will currently run on Vista, they are now completely untested on the platform and could easily have dataloss bugs or similar nasties. Chrome, Opera, Chromium, Iron, and every other Chrome-based browser will follow suit. As Opera is based on Chrome/Blink, the latest version of Opera is based on Chrome 50, so it is no longer compatible with XP and Vista.
