Well I couldn't read the above lines, are they important or relevant to
the question?
When a matter doesn't like someone interests is easy to blame him and
flag him as a troll.
It's and oldddd strategy from mail-lists non-authorized censors, spyers
and surveillance agencies staffs.
As I cannot bann nor delete your posting(s), I will infect you with shit.
Sorry, we are not child nor ignorants any more.

Yes, these are bad manners from most browser creators from long time
ago, but it don't justify bad manners.
You force people to browse where they didn't ask to go for, and to leave
their fingerprints and logging to your site, without user permission.

I understand that you like this behavior for statistical and commercial
profiling purposes, it's your business after all, but at least you may
ask about it politely and leave the user the choice if they want to do
it or not, and, if you want, you are on your right to even deny
installation if the user choose "No, I don't want to go to Opera welcome
first run site, I want to start a clean blank page to verify all
settings before going online".

Not, you are wrong, Those preferences DON'T work fine.

You are lying or deceiving all opera users intentionally:

Test your browser at the sites that I specified in my post , and that
you deliberately have not shown here (WHEN YOU SPEAK ABOUT WHAT OTHERS
SAID, ALWAYS INCLUDE THEIR FULL TEXT, not what you like others hear
about them):
