[SOLVED] how to go downrev with opera

Well, the latest version of opera (60.0.3255.27) is - in my view - totally screwed up.

Can I revert to Devuan's previous version? If so, how?

Thanks,

I don't think that there is/was a "Devuan" version, because it is not supported in debian. 
How did you install it?  Was it with the repo mentioned here: https://wiki.debian.org/Opera ?

I would suggest to uninstall the "broken" version that you have and download and install the older version.  I am currently booted into ceres and I do not see it in the official repositories.

You're right. The file is

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera-stable.list

which I think was provided by the original manual opera installation. That file contains

deb https://deb.opera.com/opera-stable/ stable non-free

I can't find an "old-stable" on opera's download site, which is what I guess I'm really looking for.

You can also upgrade Opera to Otter Browser: https://otter-browser.org/

It's original-Opera-style browser.

FWIW, I found a link to my previous version here.

I downloaded it with wget and installed with dpkg -i. Works a treat.
