  Thanks, nimeshthakkar, but I'm afraid the fact that it works for you doesn't help me. The Windows and Android versions of Opera appear unable to talk to each other, or only at cross-purposes. Logging into the account isn't the issue, but why does the PC keep taking me to that (regardless of whether or not I'm already logged in) instead to displaying the six-digit confirmation code? It makes no sense.

  This is still not fixed and it's very annoying. I guess the solution is just to ditch Opera completely...

  @rockgamer said in Weird command line flags.:

  also run it with the flag --show-component-extension-options and noticed that there are a bunch of internal extensions that I can't disable,

  Yes. That's totally normal and expected. And, you can't disable them. They're part of Opera.

  If you see something pop up for Aliexpress for example, you might have an option to choose "don't show again" before closing it.

  it runs with this bunch of flags

  That's normal too. At the URL opera://settings/privacy, there are 2 promotional items that you can disable. There are also some consent options at the URL opera://settings/privacy/consentFlow.

  As for the monetizing flag specifically, I don't know if disabling those things will help. If not, you can try starting Opera up by passing that feature flag set to off to launcher.exe to see if it helps. If not, you're probably out of luck.

  Opera makes money off of promotions and deals etc. You can read through https://legal.opera.com/privacy/ and expand the section for "Desktop browsers" if you want.

  @burnout426
  Apologies for going quiet on this. I tried using a private window with no extensions and it all worked fine. Enabled the extensions one by one and still everything worked fine. So the problem resolved itself.

  I still have the video to prove (to myself at least) that I didn't imagine it.

  Thanks again for your time

  @carfox Windows XP can't use ECC (elliptic curve cryptography) certificates. Most likely those sites use certificates, where ECC technology is used.

  The page downloads instead of Speed Dials in the New Tab.

  Opera won't import bookmarks!

  A different way you can try if you want:

  In Edge, goto the URL edge://version, take note of the "profile" path and Close Edge.

  In Opera, goto te URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path and Close Opera.

  In Opera's profile folder, delete the "Bookmarks", "BookmarksExtras" and Bookmarks.bak (if present).

  Then, copy the "Bookmarks" file from Edge's profile folder to Opera's. Then, when you start Opera, goto the URL opera://bookmark and move any imported bookmarks that are not where you want them to where you want them.

  Since this method replaces Opera's bookmarks file, you'll lose any existing bookmarks and speed dials.

  With secondary profile, every tab starts muted, why?

  passphase sync no reset

  

  @leocg as stated, I logged in via my Google account.. This is my first ever Opera account sign-in.

  It's now a moot issue. While I never entered a passphrase, my bookmarks appeared in both PC's Opera browser. I see this is a repeated issue for users and Opera needs to fix a clearly screwed up system.

  Also, there needs to be a way to add the speed dial icons to the second PC. Having them in the bookmarks just makes access an unnecessarily multi-step task.

  Also. Opera is the only browser that results in 100% CPU when opening!

  Some web forms don't work in Opera and I have to use Edge or Chrome!

  After several years of usage, I'm considering dumping it.
