Hi there

As a result of the recent security scare with IE, I have been trying version 9.63 of the Opera browser over the last few days.

I notice however that, while CCleaner offers the option of "cleaning" Opera's Internet Cache and Internet History (as well as Cookies), there appears to be an omission as far as recently typed addresses is concerned.

Seeing that the "address drop down button" on the right of Opera's address bar allows access to recently typed addresses, I checked this function with a few addresses before and after running CCleaner (v 2.14.763) and found that they still seemed to remain even after "cleaning".

The list of typed addresses is however removed after using the "Delete Private Data" function under Opera's tools.

Am I making a mistake and doing something wrong?

Or is there an omission in CCleaner's "cleaning" of Opera in this respect ? If so, is it likely to be remedied in the future ?

Guidance and comments from more knowledgeable members of the Forum would be appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

I was able to disable the retention of typed addresses - as well as learning more about how to "tweak" Opera !!
