Opera 55. Getting rid of that ugly CSD

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.

@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.

Opera for Linux doesn't include proprietary codecs - they may be detecting that. What version of Linux? Many versions of Linux will have a package available for Chromium codecs - see if you can find this package for the version of Chromium that your version of Opera is based on.

It should only need to ask once per session. That is to say, I use both Opera and Vivaldi, between them I only get asked once (by whichever runs first) until I log out of my desktop. If I close Opera and do something else for a while then go back to Opera it doesn't ask me then either (unless I logged out of the desktop)..

Now, if it asks but you somehow lose the dialog (behind another window, or close it by accident or some such) then Opera won't know any passwords ... but it also won't lose them. If you close Opera then try again all the old passwords will still be there, as it couldn't save them because you weren't logged in to the password manager.

I presume there must be a way to reset the password manager, but I'm also sure you'd know if you had..

Is that the snap version of opera that you have? If so, it is because snap apps in general have restrictions to what they can access on your system, for security reasons.
https://blog.ubuntu.com/2018/11/01/a-guide-to-snap-permissions-and-interfaces

So you either allow snap opera to access removable media, or install the deb version of it.
Imho, the second option is better, many of reasons (spped, space, etc). And yes, I am anti-snap/appimage/flatpak/whatever is bringing windows-like installation procedures to linux.

@cybrsaylr You should have the right to choose to have or not have Google on your PC, and yes, it does matter.

If you cannot have your own choice of search engine to start up each tab, what is the point of having it there? It's better just to get rid of Google completely and have nothing. After all, you can easily search DuckDuckGo by making it your default search engine, and typing "your search" directly into your browser address bar, instead of the search bar below.

To get rid of the search box completely and free up more space for links to pages, instead, go to: Opera Settings > Advanced > Browser. At the very top of the page there is the option to "Hide Search Box".

@tesget said in No VPN option in Opera browser in Linux:

tesget

a day ago

I have the latest version of Linux Mint installed and it is there just fine. You have to go to Settings > Advanced > Features and you will see VPN right at the top.

To be honest I have found the VPN feature to be a bit buggy, in that, I will often loose my internet connection. After I manually turn off VPN, the internet comes back again, and I then manually turn the VPN on again. It will work for a given period but at some point it will go again and I have to do the same thing.

xdg-open magnet

That's what I was about to say. Snap apps, in general, have restrictions on what they can and can not access from the main os. As it seems, by default, the snap opera can not access the association for the magnet:// links.
