Accessing sites outside UK

Thanks Nifty Digits: I managed to download Opera but I do not have the "off road mode" option... in its place it says "opera turbo" and them "more tools" but none of these show the mentioned mode :-(.... still not managing to do what I want....

Hello Marco: I have added zenMate but there is absolutely no difference. I even created an account with my email and a password....still nothing has changed and I keep been reverted to UK sites when I want to browse the USA ones....The point is, every time I open the ZM page it offers me AGAIN to add it for free... which I've done about 20 times. I do not understand...

Have you changed the locations in Zenmate to USA?

To be honest with shipping fees (if they will even ship to the UK), customs duty and the RM handling fee of £8 (applied to all packages where customs is payable), I don't know if it's going to be worthwhile.

I buy a lot of DVD box sets from Amazon.com and it usually works out cheaper (inc postage) and most things I want are priced below the tax threshold.

Opera Turbo is the offroad option, just renamed in the public release of opera 26.

OK, so I have Opera doing nothing and the "Zenmate" icon has appeared. I did change my location to USA and could browse une of the sites I wanted BUT.... whenever I want to become a member or see what their returns policy is it tells me "the page you want does not exist anymore" and gets stuck.....
I turned Zen off, I could not access the USA site anymore, but I was taken to the UK version where I could do all that....
All I want to do is buy a couple of items for a friend to bring me when she travels. And I CAN'T do that....

Which store/website is it?

I downloaded Opera Beta with the link provided above. I have just managed to open it (it would not open before) and in the dropdown menu below the icon on the upper left the box "opera turbo" is ticked. However, I have not found the "off-road mode". I also wonder if I should have both applications or uninstall one of them....

Also, my laptop has become extremely sluggish.... I wonder if I should not delete one of those apps.

Opera is definitely NOT working... it takes ages, attracts spam and does not open the sites I want.... I am going to delete it....
