What are /r/operabrowser's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Does anyone know how to get the little down arrow on the address bar back?

I saw an article mention the otherday about an option to put it back, but cant find it.

Edit:NVM found the answer Here

opera:config#UserPrefs|ShowDropdownButtonInAddressfield

For anyone else who's interested.

just hold " Shift " when clicking on the search !

there is also a new extension: Search in new tab which make it more easier for you . Edit: doesn't work with opera 12.02 though.

there is other option, cltrl+F12 --> advanced-->tabs--> ( and uncheck : reuse current tab ). now clicked links and search are done in new tabs :)

You don't need an extension for that. Just go to Settings -> Manage Search Engines... -> Add New Search. Name it DuckDuckGo, set "d" as keyword and the address https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s

I think you can make it the default search engine if you edit the settings files.

Actually, Haavard referred to thread on Hacker News, where former Opera employee described why there is no Linux version yet (according to him developers were discouraged from working on Linux port and delegated to working on Win or Mac version instead). Here'e the topic in question: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7129955

I am also former employee, but I can neither deny nor confirm (I left just before abandoning Presto was internally announced). What I can say is, that many (maybe most) of Linux/Unix desktop devs left Opera right before and right after switch from Presto to Webkit (myself included).

FireGestures has a script for this, although the website is down for me. It's in the 'Hybrid' section:

try { FireGestures._performAction(event, "FireGestures:OpenLinkInFgTab"); } catch (ex) { document.getElementById("cmd_newNavigatorTab").doCommand(); }

Save their original proxy configuration as C:\default.pac (for example). Go to Settings -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Proxy servers -> Use auto proxy confuguration and add this:

C:\default.pac

as configuration file there.

upd: Sadly it can't be done via extension because there are no corresponding API functions and for some elusive reason (probably incorrect content header or something) can't just use that URL as the configuration address without saving.

Question 1; Define the download folder in Preferences (Ctrl+F12) -> Advanced -> Downloads. Choose "Save to download folder" when right-clicking the link to the file you want to download.

Question 2; Hold shift while clicking "Search" to open a new tab with the search. Hold ctrl+shit to open the tab in the background.

Question 3; Check out this extension; https://addons.opera.com/en/addons/extensions/details/look-it-up/1.1/?display=en

I just read this tech crunch article and I did not realize opera was getting rid of notes (dang i have a ton of notes i need to back up) and mouse gestures?

>And power user features, such as Opera Unite and mouse gestures, made Opera too complicated to the average user

I don't really understand if mouse gestures are too complicated for someone then just don't use them? Its not like they get in the way.

Opera AdBlock uses Fanboy's urlfilter.ini and CSS filter. It also has an automatic list update feature.

Edit: Would like to add that Ghostery blocks trackers and tracking content like social media buttons, widgets, etc.

Hey, Opera employee here (working on 'Open the Web' team, which deals with site compat issues)

The best thing to do would be to ask the site to support Opera, and to file a bug report here https://bugs.opera.com/wizard . We'll take a look at it, and contact them too (getting the site to support Opera is the best solution. Identifying or masking or browser.js stuff is just a workaround)

When 'identfying', you identify as FF or IE, but still leave Opera somewhere in the UA string, so that the site's server logs still log Opera there. This is generally recommended if you have to spoof your UA. If that does not work, then try going for 'Mask as' FF or IE. f you mask as firefox or IE, then the UA completely removes any mention of Opera....so that will hurt Opera in the site usage stats. So try that only as a last resort.

If you want, you could also contact me (PM me if you want my email) or any of the Opera Developer Relations team in case your own site isn't working properly and you need a workaround...or in case of any other questions related to standards support.

1) Disable plugins by default (either F12 -> uncheck "Enable plugins" or go to opera:plugins and disable them completely). You can also check latest snapshot of Opera 12 - plugin handling was largely rewritten in Opera 12 and is much more stable now. You can also enable/disable plugins on per-site basis (RMB -> Edit Site Preferences).

2) Do you have extensions enabled? If yes - try disabling them (Ctrl+Shift+E and disable one by one).

3) Try starting with clean profile: opera:about, look for path listed as "Opera directory". Close browser, make backup of this directory, remove it and restart.

The inability to fix things by yourself isn't really a problem.

Opera's development team's absolutely outstanding with responding to bug reports, and tend to release new builds to public testing very frequently indeed.

Have a gander. In terms of responsiveness and flexibility, they massively outclass Firefox's nightmarish community.

This was actually fixed a couple of Opera Next builds ago (12.00-1039), along with a number of other minor skin fixes (screenshot).

You'll have to wait for version 12 to be released or if you're lucky it might get patched in if they do a 11.51.

No, you haven't missed any hidden setting. Opera just doesn't have an option to turn the image resizing off. Which is stupid.

Wishlist where people are asking for such option: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=968982 add your own comment there and check what others have said. There are some extensions that apparently fix this issue.

Haven't tried them myself, I just complained there and keep hitting enter key when I want to see pictures properly.

This you can do with the old version as well. Just click the element and find the css background image URL.

Or you could go for this officially unreleased extension: Imagus. It lets you Ctrl + Right click background images (add a Shift for background tab). Among a lot of other cool things.

Set Google Translate to the language you want to translate to and from, and then 'Create search', to translate text and websites using an Opera search keyword.

You can also 'Create search' on Tineye to find similar images or the source of an image you find on the web.

And this from Jon Hicks, who has helped with Opera's looks from just before vers11

https://twitter.com/#!/Hicksdesign/status/83479559361671169

"I've been working with the Opera folks on the featherweight skin recently, and there is more to come! As always, not everything makes it…"

...and it supports some weird way to get rid of the Google search field in speed dial: http://www.ghacks.net/2013/11/04/opera-19-developer-update-enable-operas-power-user-mode/

Whoever had the idea to hide that option from the user... sigh

Good luck with that. Keep in mind that not everyone has had luck with the current version of Opera since they rewrote a ton of under the hood stuff with the recent updates. But whatever.

First things first, usually it should attempt auto completion from your browsing history and bookmarks. So just browse for a while and it'll learn your favourites, so to speak.

Otherwise you can have a closer look at bookmarks. You can give bookmarks a nickname, which will act as a shortcut when you type it in.

Other than that I fear you're SOL. Then again, I do not want my browser to try and randomly guess where I want to go, there might actually be some way of enabling that feature somewhere. I'm sure someone will know. Sorry.

Finally, which is what I use, have a look at Reddit on speed dial. It's a nice little extension that shows your messages and Karma on the speed dial for reddit. RES works in Opera too, just install it from the official site.

Only on the current video. This adds ratings to searches and related videos so you can see the rating before choosing a video to play.

ExtendTube has the same feature, plus a hundred other useful ones.

Another alternative, which aims to be like the old Opera, is Vivaldi. I used it as my daily driver for some time a few months ago. I eventually returned to Firefox/Chrome, but Vivaldi comes along nicely. It just gets better and better. (It's no better than Otter in that sense, that Vivaldi also relies on Webkit)

I recommend to install the snapshot version.

Opera recently issued a browser.js patch for some Google+ fixes. I think the patch caused this and has been backed out. "Menu -> help -> check for updates" might fix it.

See the comments in <http://my.opera.com/sitepatching/blog/2011/12/21/g-amazon-live>.

But, damn Google (and Amazon and Yahoo and Microsoft and &lt;insert airline site here&gt; and &lt;insert bank site here&gt;) won't quit discriminating against Opera, so shit like this is going to happen.

http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/xml/rss/blog/

That is the best I have got. I know that there is an internal updater for the Opera next builds, but not for the Normal Opera builds, I am guessing it is primarily due to the fact that Opera doesn't want people updating to a potentially unstable build, and then complaining when it doesn't work properly.

I just subscribe to their blog, works like a charm for me. (I usually wait to see the comments section in case there is a major bug)

This way you can get the Opera Next releases before they reach the official updater. ;)

Edit: Try going to opera:config

Search for snapshots

Check download all snapshots. :)

Hope I helped. :)

I have the global cookie setting set to "Never accept cookies".

I then went to "Ctrl + F12 -&gt; advanced -&gt; content -&gt; manage site preferences -&gt; add" and created a site preference for the domain reddit.com (not www.reddit.com or anything. You have to be mindful of the domain you get with right-click on page -&gt; edit site preference) with its cookie setting set to "Accept only cookies from the site I visit".

I then went to programming.reddit.com, typed my username and password (with the remember me checkbox checked) and logged in no problem.

This is using the latest snapshot from <http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/>.

So, it works fine for me. But, it's possible that cookies4.dat in the preferences folder (see opera:about for the location) is corrupted. Since the cookie setting for each site preference is stored in cookies4.dat and not override.ini (Opera tried the latter because it made more sense, but they had to revert it because it was a pain to get right), a corrupted cookies4.dat could really mess up a site's cookie setting.

To fix cookies4.dat, you close down Opera and delete it. But, you'll then have to edit each of your site preferences and set their cookie setting again.

You can see the old cookie setting wiki post for more info on Opera's cookie handling. There are a few things that need to be updated on the page, but generally it's still correct.

<strong>Imagus</strong>

• hover zoom works perfectly
• you can set up default behavior of images when you open them in tab (full size, fit to screen,..)
• you can rotate and flip them
• you can set up so that you see the % and size in your tabs or status bar.
• preload images

two good "hidden" features are long press of left mouse button on image to force it - fit to width. And pressing "z" when you are hover zooming some comics/pics that are very big(tall) and then just move mouse up and down

The damn guy who is making it keeps it off the official extension list... dunno why

Searching for "opera twitter panel" using Google brings up the following (next time, just use Google -- I know people say that too often):

• Choose Opera - Opera Tips &amp; Tricks: Web Panels

• Thomas LeJeune - Twitter Panel - My Opera

Have fun. Nice feature. :)

>Effectively there's no difference. "Tunneled" traffic goes over an encrypted protocol. This is reusing https/tls traffic, rather than spinning up a dedicated tunnel to funnel secured data over, a la IPSec.

>There's minute differences, but from a service perspective they're largely and probably entirely irrelevant. You get encrypted, 'VPN' access. It's just not a traditional VPN

>

It will protect you from ISP snooping, but there's no guarantee that Opera themselves or SurfEasy (the provider) aren't snooping on you themselves.

I know what you mean. This behaviour was introduced a few versions ago in the developer channel :(. I filed an issue the day I saw this behaviour, but they still haven't fixed it.

I think the devs just want to be "different", as there's no other explanation for deliberately introducing such a backwards setting that contradicts the browsers normal behaviour.

I know of the Classic Tabs extension that may help.

I liked Opera Mail when it came out, but it's not getting any love from developers. I use Thunderbird to deal with not paying for Outlook.

Alternatively, if you want something more "modern" looking there's a new email client I've poked a little called Nylas, but it's got a weird "gotta pass ALL your traffic through our 3rd party server" method to synchronize your stuff. You can of course run your own server to accomplish this and they provide details on how to do so. They supposedly don't sell any user data at all from what I understand though.

EDIT: Typo in URL
EDIT2: Fun fact, they have a public Trello board for their stuff

I had the same issue and did some digging a couple weeks back, what you want to do is go here and download the file default_partner_content.json.

Then go to your opera installation directory /newestversionnumber/resources and replace the default_partner_content.json inside of it with the one you downloaded above.

Make sure to keep a backup copy of the file you downloaded off of onedrive because every time that Opera updates it will rewrite over your default_partner_content.json and until they bring back bing as a default search engine you'll need to keep replacing the file.

I'd never call 4 years the same as forever, though I understand you were using that term out of frustration and didn't imply its literal meaning.

Microsoft added the Folder Upload feature at the end of November last year, and Opera has not yet released a new Opera Version that can tackle the issue. It has taken Opera quite some time to release Opera 12, but when it does get out there, I'm sure it will resolve a lot of these issues.

And as always, I've added this latest version of Opera 44 to Browserling's browser cloud. You can try this new version at this URL without installing it:

https://www.browserling.com/opera/44/www.reddit.com

We run the browsers in virtual machines and stream them to your browser.

Try installing a local recursive DNS resolver on your machine and setting your DNS server to 127.0.0.1. That should avoid the issue entirely since DNS resolution will no longer depend on your ISP's DNS server which is clearly breaking DNS (except if they're really evil and are intercepting and rewriting outbound DNS queries, but I doubt that.) That also neatly sidesteps the alternative - using stuff like Google's public DNS or OpenDNS - which degrades your experience because it breaks the geolocation assumptions of CDNs used for video delivery etc.

I recommend Unbound - been using it for over 2 years without any problems whatsoever. You can find Windows builds (as well as the source code) here.

Don't forget to reconfigure your system so that it actually uses the local resolver, of course.

You can try using the chrome favicon extension in opera, opera supports chrome/chromium addons and you can install addons from the chrome web store in opera by installing this addon: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/download-chrome-extension-9/

No guarantee that the chrome favicon changing extension will work properly in opera, but you should be able to install and try it.

First install this: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/download-chrome-extension-9/?display=en

Then this: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stayfocusd/laankejkbhbdhmipfmgcngdelahlfoji

I believe that should help :)

Install this on both, https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xmarks-bookmark-sync/ajpgkpeckebdhofmmjfgcjjiiejpodla and put it on settings to upload bookmarks to server on chrome, and install this on opera https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/download-chrome-extension-9/?display=en then install the above Chrome extension, sync it to download bookmarks on the Opera browser and you're good to go :)

1. Not that I'm aware of. you can use the down > right mouse gesture to quickly close tabs though.

2. You can't change the size of the dials, but you can increase the max number of speed dial columns: Opera > Settings > check the box for 'show advanced settings' > under 'Startpage' there's a dropdown for the max number of speed dial columns (up to 11).

Vivaldi (https://vivaldi.com) has an option for #1 under settings > tabs > tab options. For #2 it only appears to allow a max of six sd columns though and I don't see a way to increase the size of the dials there either.

>When I search for a word on a page, it would be great if I could see the number of results found and what result i'm currently on

yeah, its really missing. I would also like to add a feature from most text editors, that if you select-highlight some text with mouse and press ctrl+f your search popup with that text already in it.

This can be achieved in preferences(in keyboard shortcuts set

f ctrl = Copy & Find & Paste mouse selection & Select all

), but it overwrites your clipboard(ctrl+c) and would be definitely better natively.

For anyone using Opera x64 make sure you are using a 64-bit flash plugin. This completely resolved all of my issues with the plugin container.

The browser now runs so much more smoothly and I can open a dozen YouTube tabs without flash causing a temporary freeze or crashing.

Go to opera:plugins and make sure that you have only enabled NPSWF64_11_3_300_262.dll (this is the latest stable version as of right now, I believe)

And if you are on 64-bit capable hardware, you should be using Windows 64-bit and Opera 64-bit. I didn't even realize until about a year ago, after owning my computer since 2007, that my Core 2 Duo processor was 64-bit capable. I switched to 64-bit Windows and it is definitely more stable, plus supports my 4GB of RAM without PAE.

And anyone who likes Opera enough to put up with its occasional problems, consider running Opera Next and following the Desktop Team blog. Report any issues you find in comments, the Opera developers do read them, and each release comes with some new bug fixes, and some new bugs!

Ad this button from tamil's post.

Hold shift when moving buttons around, I like it in top right part of UI

Ah Masking tricks...

It is pretty simple how they work actually... Your browser sends a plaintext GET method to webservers to retrieve webpages, and in this text, there is a fair amount of information that your browser sends about itself.

For example, if I use a simple tool to listen on a port and print out network traffic, then connect to it with Opera, this is the output:

dopefish7590@Angelfire:~ <('.'<)$ nc -l 7590 GET / HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64; U; en) Presto/2.10.229 Version/11.60 Host: localhost:7590 Accept: text/html, application/xml;q=0.9, application/xhtml+xml, image/png, image/webp, image/jpeg, image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, /;q=0.1 Accept-Language: en-CA,en;q=0.9 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Connection: Keep-Alive

This little bit of text can be sent anywhere that has a webserver, and the result will be the same as what occurs when you connect with a web browser. There are many little tweaks in this text that can be made to make webservers act differently.

If you have ever used Apache, you would know how it's virtual hosts look like, well... You can specify which of these hosts you wish to connect to if you change the "Host" field to match the virtual host.

The User-Agent is something you have already played with, so you already know of it's effects.

The "Accept" field will change what types of data your browser accepts from the server to interpret directly, anything not listed there will be downloaded instead of opened in-line the web page.

Why am I mentioning this..? Because most of these other fields can be edited by pointing Opera to "opera:config#Network"...

Play around with it a bit... There is a LOT you can do.

Other information about this can be seen here http://my.opera.com/karlcow/blog/2011/03/03/wrong-to-be-right-with-xhtml

Here is what Opera said about it when they added the feature.

I think the general idea is that when you load a website, you have to make loads of requests for lots of little parts of the website, if you have a slow connection then all the little requests add up into quite a bit wait. With Opera Turbo, the webpage is loaded using Opera's server's very fast internet connection, it is then compressed and sent to you. So you are waiting for a few larger items rather than loads of small ones, and the sum total of all the data you need is less because of the compression.

I dunno, I use opera as my main browser, and applications like gmail don't feel slow at all, I don't notice any difference from chrome.

Also these JavaScript tests don't always reflect real world situations.

http://my.opera.com/emoller/blog/2011/05/01/javascript-performance

There is also quite a variance depending on the test.

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/opera-firefox-chrome,2976-6.html

• NoAds Multilingual + German

The sync process has always been over SSL. The issue have been other login pages sending the same opera account passwords over an unencrypted channel. This is an ongoing effort, and we will move every site where the myopera account is used over to SSL before releasing the password sync in a final version.

If you want to know more about how we are syncing the password, go over to our Opera Link blog!

See . In short - Opera from version 49 onwards have switched its "VPN" feature to use its own server infrastructure instead of using SurfEasy's. Unfortunately, as a side effect the bandwidth has dropped much.

You don't. Opera have removed the old (nicer) speed dial. If that's the deciding factor for you, you can always use an older version with the old speed dial intact and turn off automatic upgrades.

Another option is to use a speed dial extension (from the chrome web store) and change the new tab page to that of your chosen extension with: Custom New Tab Page.

Chrome and Opera are both built on Chromium, so I'm guessing they'll use about the same amount of RAM.

I wasn't able to find a comparison of the big four, but I did find a fairly recent comparison of Chrome/IE/Firefox, which shows Firefox using significantly less RAM.

If you're struggling with with Firefox, you could try some of the more obscure choices, or consider switching to a more lightweight operating system.

Hmm...I did it somehow awhile back. I think I might've used the tidy bookmark extension, but I could only find Spanish version for the v25. I got my old bookmarks both on stable and beta but not sure how I did that :) Just for giggles, go to http://link.opera.com with Opera 25 and login. See if does anything.

One alternative option is to wait a bit longer: apparently the developer release has a bookmark import tool. So, it's coming.

As everyone has already mentioned, have you considered Opera Turbo? It makes pages you visit redirect through a fast proxy that first compresses the page content before sending it to you, speeding up page loads on slower connections.

You can also enable "Enable plug-ins only on demand" in Settings > Preferences > Advanced > Content, that way you won't have to worry about loading background data for things like videos on page loads until you want to watch it...

And you can also use FanBoy's AdBlock list to stop your browser from downloading ads on many a webpage. It also cleans up your view. :)

Lastly, you can use a different DNS server if your ISP's is slow, you can get information about using Google's DNS, which tends to be one of the faster DNS servers around here.

I hope this helps..!

In case you are talking about a version >15 you can install most Chrome extensions on Opera, too (after installing the add-on Download Chrome Extension).

Don't know how this works for extensions you have to pay for, though.

Most (not all) Chrome extensions should work in Opera 15+ too, since both browsers are based on Chromium.

To be able to download and install extensions from Chrome Web Store in Opera 29, you'll have to install this extension from the Opera Add-ons Website first: Download Chrome Extensions

you can install any chrome extension in opera ;) https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/download-chrome-extension-9/

once you install that extension, when you go to the chrome webstore it will let you install extensions in opera.

Ironically there is a way -- as long as you disable Opera's built-in mouse gestures (Prefs - Shortcuts - Enable mouse gestures) and install this Chrome extension: Gestures for Google Chrome

(Get Download Chrome Extension for Opera if you haven't already.)

It isn't quite as responsive as the native gestures and I've had it stop working for no reason several times, requiring a browser restart to fix, but if you really want customizable gestures back this is your best bet for now.

Well, if you're blind you must be very blind, because it shows a notice when you activate it :) You just need to open "settings", click a blank area, and type "up up down down left right left right b a" (no caps). If you don't get a message, you've probably enabled it already.

You need an extension for user agent switching.

History Limiter Custom or History Eraser

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but there is an addon available for the chromium based opera that allows very fine grained control over cookies/scripts etc... on a per site basis: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/http-switchboard/?display=en

Sorry, I dont think there is any UI that can give you an overview over the tabs like in Presto. And yeah, that UI element was quite usefull.

(Some crazy people would suggest that you try out some of the extensions out there. There might be one that gives you what you are looking for.)

I actually just went through everything you've just done a couple seconds ago. I just installed the Chrome version instead of trying to deal with an Opera specific version.

I used this extension on Opera to let me install from the Chrome store.

I'll say something to you. I was using chrome since it first came out. It was a really fast browser but now it's garbage. The more bookmarks you have, the more plugins you have the slower the browser is. Also if your watching gifs, and movies, or even live streams then browser will ofter freeze itself. I remember one time when I was watching friends twitter, he's a journalist and he just came back from Afghanistan, so as you can imagine his twitter was flooded with pictures, so when I opened the Pictures tab i could not even scroll the page down, then I wanted to close Chrome but, the delay between click and action was like 30 seconds. Of course most of times when I'm on twitter this shit was happening. Ok now, about the speed dial. It will be a best thing if you would put all your speed dial bookmarks to the bookmark bar, but first you have to enable it in the settings of opera. But if this will wont work, use this: "Install this on both, https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xmarks-bookmark-sync/ajpgkpeckebdhofmmjfgcjjiiejpodla and put it on settings to upload bookmarks to server on chrome, and install this on opera https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/download-chrome-extension-9/?display=en then install the above Chrome extension, sync it to download bookmarks on the Opera browser and you're good to go :)" This solution was given to me by a good guy from reddit. If you really need to change something then I strongly advice you to go with Firefox instead of Chrome.

Well, if you are worried about that... I recommend getting &quot;Ghostery&quot;...

It's an extension that tells you all of the networks that are tracking you, it also lets you block the ones you don't trust.

If you have Ghostery installed, you'll see that web pages at opera.com include a Google Analytics script.

My guess is that if you're using Opera on a traditional PC (as opposed to Opera Mini on a phone) that's probably about the extent of what goes on.

A lot of the suggestions here sound pretty useful, but one major thing you might also want to consider changing is how you actually browse the internet. I came across an excellent extension called Tab Vault

It essentially allows you to store tabs in a neat fashion for quick access in the top right corner of your Opera window. Check it out, it's pretty sweet.

The Chrome-based Opera started off with a very basic feature set and they're only being added back slowly so you might have to wait a while before tab-stacking returns.

It may be worth you trying Vivaldi - created by ex-Opera staff, based on Chrome, has tab stacking already at v1.0!

In a thread yesterday, /u/hellopls suggested that it wasn't possible to change anything about the search options:

"Nope, the Opera devs have taken a hard stance on allowing customization of any of the default partner content.

Any attempts to remove or change default_partner_content.json will cause Opera to refuse to start."

I'm making the assumption that this covers the recommendations as well as the defaults, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.

Edit: I've been proven wrong - see hellopls's post below.

In other news, Vivaldi (a browser made by ex-Opera devs) is looking promising and is worth a try despite only being at the 'Technical Preview' stage.

Create new search engine with the following code and replace fr-fr with required country code.

Code for secure search.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s&amp;kp=-1&amp;kl=fr-fr

There was a thread like that not too long ago, here's the things I got from that thread:

• All in one sidebar
• Context search
• FireGestures
• Greasemonkey
• Private Tab
• RES
• ScrapBook (Notes)
• Tab Mix plus (enhances tab behaviour a lot)
• Session manager
• Extended Statusbar (I've disabled it because it didn't appear to work, but it's supposed to make stausbar look the way it did in the old Opera by default)

There were also two different kinds of adblock listed there but I hadn't installed them yet — I'm really happy with my custom hosts file.

Other usable extensions I have: (that don't contribute to opera-like behaviour and weren't picked up from that thread IIRC)

• Ehnanced Steam (Suggested by friend, suppose it makes some difference if you're on Steam)
• Imagus (The best 'Hoverzoom' extension. Period.) You scroll over a link of a pic/thumbnail and it generates a popup with the picture that hides behind the link/thumbnail. It's very powerful extension (make sure to take stroll through the settings!). Note: Certain shortcuts for that extension may be in conflict with RES, and Imagus has shortcuts a lot and plenty. EDIT: Added link. It also seems that someone made a subreddit about it (but it's rather empty): /r/imagus
• Tube Enhancer Plus
• Youtube Video and Audio Downloader (because Tube Enhancer Plus doesn't place the download button in a convenient location.)
• OpenDownload² — adds 'open'/'run' option to the download dialogue. Which is useful.
• Download Manager Tweak — Because FF's default download manager didn't want to open in my sidebar.

Try the latest 12.11 snapshot. 12.11 has gotten *a lot* of crash fixes. It might fix yours too.

When Opera crashes though, do you send in a crash report? If so, do you include your email address in the report? If so, you can pm it to me.

But, anytime you want to rule out your normal profile as a problem, you can set up a standalone installation to a folder on your desktop (for example) and see how things work there.

This recently started in OSX. I don't know what causes it, but every few days it will fuck up all the key shortcuts. Even if you select the option in the menu it will do something else. Here is a relevant post on the opera forums: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1464072

It's something that I've seen all Opera users naturally do after a while. It's rare to see an Opera window without 30+ tabs. Here is a recent Opera blog post with this image showing how you end up using it. The default "open in new tab" action of Opera is to open it at the end of the row, this means the tab list is chronological. My oldest tab is from 2010, I'll probably get to reading it some time during the next six months. Sometime I find real gems that I've not had time to read, just opened it in a background tab and then get a pleasant surprise a few months later, bookmarks is so old school. (Even though Opera has great BM support with cloud sync (first of all the browsers afaik), nicknames and more. It also introduced the speed dial which also syncs with the cloud) I reboot the computer about once a month, so there is no problem that Opera uses about a minute to start up. On my laptop I also have about 100 tabs and probably 150 at work.
EDIT: There is a reason why Opera has tab stacking, they know their audience. Also, Opera was the second-first browser (I think) with tab support (96?), introduced "open in background tab", tab preview thumb, support for vertical tabs, the tab bar can wrap to multiple rows, you can select the minimum number of pixels each tab can go before wrapping, has a panel showing tabs and other ways of listing the tabs.

Would if I could, but I found it only as link as well

I now tried googling and theres nothing about it... only this post where the guy talks about opera api and mentions this twitter post

Ouch. Have not seen this.

I back up all settings via disco stu's useful tool http://my.opera.com/Disco%20Stu/blog/opera-settings-import-export-tool

This saves everything. I used it to put"my browser" on my gal's PC. You can select amongst all the different things to save or not.

(I have thought opera should include this simple function for a while. maybe it is in there somewhere?)

bookmarks can come in/out via Opera's Menu/settings/import and export/(choose one)

I have not needed anything since moving from XP to 7, but I still do the drill.. Backitup. Later

See <http://my.opera.com/securitygroup/blog/2011/08/30/when-certificate-authorities-are-hacked-2>.

So, in other words, once the CA revokes the cert, Opera will remove it. And, Opera even downgrades the connect to unsecure if the revocation URI is blocked.

Further, you can check "Ctrl + F12 -&gt; Advanced -&gt; Security -&gt; Manage Certificates" to see if the DigiNotar cert is anywhere in there.

And, I believe that Opera can issue cert changes via "Opera button -&gt; Help -&gt; check for updates", which is automatically triggered after a while anyway.

URL history arrow?

Also, you shouldn't rely on this as your only source for these kind of things. I recommend storing them somewhere safe, not 100% dependent on a specific program.

I had the same issue. It has something to do with Opera auto disabling extensions after the browser crashes. It usually lets you enable them again, but there's probably a bug in that system somewhere.

I found a solution on the Opera forums that worked.

http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=974392

>- Activate the extensions again

• Type about:config in the address bar

• Search for “Restart Unite Services After Crash”

• Enable it

• Save the option

• End Opera

• Start Opera again

>Note: our earlier HTML5 parser Labs build as well as an experimental build with hardware acceleration and WebGL had a UA string referencing "Opera 11.50". However, these features are not ready yet, and thus are not included in this alpha nor will they be in the 11.50 final release — expect them to pop up in post-11.50 builds though.

From http://my.opera.com/ODIN/blog/2011/05/02/announcing-opera-next-and-speed-dial-extensions

This article goes over it.

Hopefully that article isn't too dated. I'm not sure if they've changed anything since the 11 update.

Put this in your address bar

>opera:config#PersistentStorage|UserJSStorageQuota

It should be highlighted in blue. Then, set the value to 501, restart opera and after that NoAds should start working. If not, then try the urlfilter option. To do that, go to the link that tip_ty posted, press Ctrl+S and save the file to this folder

>"C:\Users\(yourusername)\AppData\Roaming\Opera\Opera 11.00\

This will overwrite the current list (which should be blank if you haven't blocked anything yet).

for more info on this option, click here.

edit: you may need to enable hidden folder to be shown to navigate the roaming folder. In that case, open your control panel, click on "folder options", then click on "view" and on the "Hidden Files and Folders" list select "Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives"

Been using this browser and i’m loving it. The free VPN is not a VPN and it’s really just a proxy server that will slow your wifi speeds down. I never use it. I have a subscription with PureVPN. It was incredibly cheap. Like 20$ yearly. An actual VPN is better than Opera and their free VPN.

Opera's VPN is not a true VPN. It's merely a HTTPS proxy. It's same as when using SurfEasy browser extension with a browser other than Opera.

Your ISP can't see which site you're connecting to. They can only see that you're connecting to the "VPN" server, which is SurfEasy's HTTPS proxy server. All data are encrypted using HTTPS, so your ISP only sees encryped data.

The only possible leak is when using the WebRTC functionality, as described below.

Aye. I have:

• 2 Pane Bookmarks (Opera-like bookmark sidebar)
• Adblock Plus
• Bookmark Shortcut Keys (Speed dial doesn't do this on it's own, so I have a hidden Bookmark bar with Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+9 to navigate to them instantly... I also added a few for IRC and RSS.)
• Brief (RSS)
• ChatZilla (IRC)
• Customizable Shortcuts
• FireGestures (Mouse Gestures, Rocker Navigation, Right Click + Mouse Wheel tabs)
• FoxyProxy Standard (Site-specific proxy settings)
• Greasemonkey (User JS)
• HTitle (Just a Linux Mint Cinnamon hack for window management.)
• Open Image In New Tab
• Private Tab (Ctrl + Alt + P for private tabs, can also convert... No silly private session needed.)
• ReloadEvery (Relaod every in the context menu)
• Secure Login (Ctrl + Enter logging in)
• Session Manager
• Speed Dial [FVD] - New Tab Page, Sync... (I modified this one slightly for Speed dial positioning and removing the FVD from everything for my own edification.)
• Stylish (Custom CSS)
• Tab Utilities (Tab stacking, Recent tab list, etc...)
• UAControl (User Agent switching.)

I also have Vertical Toolbar, but it is disabled... Ideally I could add enough on it to get Opera's Sidebar functionaliy back... But not yet.

This is about the Opera Free VPN mobile app. Opera uses their own compression proxy in some of its other apps (e.g. Opera Mini) which wont be affected.

It just crashes when you goto <https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/>?

Does it do it in a standalone installation to a folder on your desktop? (Don't install any extensions in it and don't enable Opera Sync.)

>supports chrome extensions

I got chrome extensions to work in Opera as well and it works really good! I used a extension in Opera store which then allows any extension form chrome store to be installed on opera!

Edit: This is the extension I used

Include CSS or Stylish. Depending whether you use Opera or Chropera. And depending whether you're already satisfied with what you see.

Yes I am in a similar position to you; a loyal Opera user of 10 years who is getting frustrated with compatibility issues. I have some of the same issues you report but not all of them. Googlemaps works fine for me and I have no search box issues but an increasing number of sites never load and just give me a white page. Other sites with embedded video eg New Scientist won't display the player at all. If the text was not referring to a video I wouldn't even know it was supposed to be on the page.

I haven't quite got to the point of jumping ship, but I have been considering it. Since I see few others complaining of the problems I have I have wondered if the cause is the fact that I haven't done a truly clean installation of Opera since I first used it. Each new version has been upgraded over the top of the last, for all this time. Even when I wipe and reinstall my OS, I restore my Opera settings by copying over the relevant folders from a backup. I speculate that I may have some conflicting stuff in there, and I intend to give it one last shot with a clean install before I abandon it forever.

BTW there is a mouse-gestures extension for Chrome.

Hi there!

Thanks for linking the article.

Assume your company produces cheese, but then you decide to stop said production of cheese. Why do you need to keep the cheese-makers? Move the talented people to the milk-producing branch of the company and get rid of the others.

More developers does not mean better products or faster release cycles. You can't just add 90 developers to some random branch of the company and expect it to work.

1. Download the release of your choice from: Opera Stable - Releases.
   • Download the 'Opera_<version>_Setup.exe' file, not the 'Opera_<version>_Autoupdate.exe'.
2. Remove existing install and re-install from the .exe you downloaded above.
3. Disable automatic updates:
   • How to disable automatic updates in Opera?
     • The best option would be renaming or deleting 'opera_autoupdate.exe'.

Actually, Firefox has an extension named Tree Style Tab which feels really good. Give it a try if you're ever stuck with FF for some reason.

uBlock Origin is enough to block JavaScript, but its medium blocking mode doesn't disable all JavaScript.

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium-mode

> Roughly similar to using Adblock Plus with many filter lists + NoScript with 1st-party scripts/frames automatically whitelisted.

So, you'll have to use a more restictive blocking mode.

This is caused by browser sniffing on bing's end, they are sending Opera user agent a different page for some reason. If you mask user agent as chrome it's fine: http://i.imgur.com/NonCXyu.jpg

Just install the domain user agent addon (https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/user-agent-switcher/?display=en) and add an entry for www.bing.com with the user agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/46.0.2490.86 Safari/537.36

Get "Download Chrome Extention" extention: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/download-chrome-extension-9/

Then grab a chrome extention like this one:

Which version of RES are you using?

4.0.2 works awfully on Opera, whenever I opened Reddit at all, it would max out one of my CPU cores and hit the 4GB memory limit within seconds.

Grab the 3.4.0 version of RES from here, I believe it will come up with an error the first time you boot it up after going back to the old version (it stores data slightly differently). But RES handles the error perfectly and will recover with no problems.

For Opera v12, it's one of those minor annoying bugs that they don't bother to fix.

The bug can be reproducible with a simple HTML code:

<style> .bug { display: inline-block } </style> <span class="bug">A</span><span class="bug">B</span>

The code simply shows two adjacent letter "A" and "B" to make up a word. Double-clicking any of the letter will make Opera properly select the "AB" word. But when it's copied into clipboard, Opera sees it as a two lines: an "A" line, and a "B" line.

You can test it from JSFiddle here: (in bottom right box)

Here is what I use:

GBI (Google by image)

I do have Vivaldi installed, and while the UI is decent, it's nothing like the Opera 12 one. There is a browser that is aiming at replicating that UI, and it's the Otter browser. Does a pretty good job at that, even though HiDPI support still needs some smoothing out.

And of course, when it comes to web standards, neither does a good job, but Otter does beat Vivaldi at animated SVG support at least (no MathML support yet though, even though that might depend on the rendering engine, which in Otter would be selectable if I could build it with the new QtWebEngine backend …)

(My benchmark for web standards support is this page, which currently only renders correctly on Firefox and maybe Safari, and where every single other browser does a worse job than Opera 12).

>On that dialog box you can associate TIFF images with any external program you want.

On Windows, my favorite program for this is IrfanView, which is fast, small, free, and absolutely packed with advanced features that won't get in your way if you're not using them.

Youtube Center can cause that, try disabling it. I suggest using the developer version as the one in the extensions website is quite outdated. You can download it here

Well its not prettier to me(look at how thumbnail of opera.com looks), but more often than not it really finds good logo that helps identifying a page.

Good addition would be to put top 500 custom thumbnails of web pages logos with transparent background inside opera and when such a site is in thumbnail, have a checkbox - "use default logo for derpherp.com"

Though its obvious that what opera is trying to do, is to make web developers have control over this. Hope other browsers will follow, because otherwise majority of web won't bother...
