black text black window downloads popup

It seems your issue was fixed in version 60, although I can't find it on the changelog.
Opera now follows its own gtk theme for that downloads popup instead of the system's gtk theme.
Why Opera removed the Privacy and Security settings from the linux versions? What is the real deal???

They kind of "fast tracked" Opera 60 to Stable, while 61 is still Developer. Both Stable and Developer should be fixed (I know Developer is as I am posting from it), but until 61 goes to Beta you'll need to use either Stable or Developer.

Oper has 64-bit RPM packages available, but you'll need to use the link from the desktop team blog instead of the default link.

Will be more descriptive in the future.

Wish this change was not made. The old way was much easier where it was easy to load internal pages from your bookmarks when in private mode.

Which version of which distro are you using? 32-bit Opera for Linux is getting close to two years old now, and may not be compatible with current versions of your distro.

If you reinstalled the OS, you need to provide your old OS password. It's necessary because your saved passwords are encrypted using your OS login information.

When I Backup Opera Two Files Do Not Backup

@jimunderscorep said in When I Backup Opera Two Files Do Not Backup:

As seen in the pic, the files are ~/.config/opera/oauc_pipe and ~/.config/opera/oauc_pipe_r, and, as it is also desctribed in the error, they are "socket" filetype.
With a simple search, I found that socket files can not be copied or moved or tared, so you just ignore the errors and make the backup utility ignore them too.

thank you for the only good response out of all of them. i just found it odd, cause i've never seen any files in the user folder of any browser not backup before. thanks again.

For me, the vivaldi devs have done a more fundamental mistake than the csd: they made an electron based app. As far as I am concerned, it is my choise to not use any electron-based bs.

Also, the screenshots on the other thread you mention do not have any sort of csd, just a hidden title bar and they were made 8 YEARS ago, back when opera was presto based and could allow almost any change to its ui.

Feel free to blame me, because I just discovered that the above command line switch is actrually wrong!
After reading some of chromium's documentation, I found out that the right one is

opera --password-store=basic %U

(it says "basic" instead of "default" there)
And as usual, because I neither use gnome, nor store passwords in the browser, I can not test it 😛
Bookmark dividers doesn't work

An alternative is to add a character to the end of the bookmark name, perhaps the |, which I use. This will then be a divider. I either use no name for bookmarks, in which case only the icon shows on the bookmarks bar, or the |, in which case the icon and the | show. This makes the | a divider wherever I want one.

You can't because opera's gtk theme is hardcoded since v45 in order to solve this bug here

@mgeffro Thank you for providing the explanation. However, I am still not happy with enforced permissions. I would rather have the pop up and the choice to choose and to remove Google any time I wish. Period.

If you do have chromium ffmpeg codecs installed, it is because of the same reason I mentioned here

I do :p
sudo apt-get install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra

There is a small chance the above won't work, because opera 58 is based on chromium 71 and ubuntu (and derivatives) package chromium 72 (as of today, March 21st 2019). For more info please read the post on my signature.
