Facebook embeds did autoplay, unless you turned that setting off. Maybe they are changed behavior; I have no fb account to check.

I would like option to disable gif animation too. For me, first frame could be displayed - no big problem.

And I would like some option to disable any media content autoplay, be it plugins (possible currently) ot HTML5 content (can't blocked).

Welcome to Opera forums @Moejama and @Jp98slk!

That suggestions would be nice additions, but

Not sure the Opera team can do anything about this - it's probably a limitation of Chromium/WebKit which is out of their control.

if it's Chromium/Webkit limitation, would be good to post in their forums so that your voices can be heard.

Welcome to Opera forums @Napwow!

Point # 1:
Many of us are wainting for that too, I think the request is already made.

Point # 2:
It's already implemented, just it's that the SD it's intended different for every computer, so once you synced, look in bookmarks tree, look for "Other SD" and then just have to move/copy the SD entries to the current SD computer.

Point # 3
Hidding tabs it's Tab stack? Group them? Well... I suppose it's requested too.

Just pinned tabs it's actually implemented.

A new fast menu access button next to Tab menu button would allow to bypass the Menu>Bookmarks... long way
of reaching the menus.

And until they implement or not this button, you may use Holms extension from Chrome Store.

As a workaround in Opera installation folder > installer_prefs you have to change:

"singleprofile":False to "singleprofile":True

It's a .Json file and may be edit with notepad.
Then, it will create a new profile pointing to Data in Opera Installation folder and every link will be opened with it, as a default Profile folder.
This works pretty nicely. Do you know if it will stay set that way when Opera updates itself?

Yes, it will be since it's the same parameters for Opera USB installation, just keep your mod shortcuts save and keep in mind, if u use a default Opera shorcut it will create/use a profile inside Opera Installation.

Also I'd like to add that Extansions (like V7-Bookmarks and another) not works properly compared with official Opera Bookmarks. Opera is the best browser with native settings!

A lot of my friends have moved to another browsers due to sidebar absent. We can't understand why at previous versions of Opera this deal was present, and at new is absent.

No one understands that, but they spend / waste time with Opera Neon...
Nice? Rigth, nothing else...

Is Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner blocked some features to be ported to Opera Blink?

Vivaldi has sidebar and a lot of Opera Presto features, so it can be done...

It's Opera want us to foget?
It's Opera shame himself of the bad move and canno't make peace and surprise again?
Automatic/periodic refresh

@Pikel19

I would like to ask for periodic/automatic refresh of a page.
This feature used to exist in old versions of Opera and was great help in overseeing forums with multiple topics and other pages that require periodic refresh.
This would save many of us from having to hit the refresh button every 5-10 minutes to see if there is any update to certain pages.
Many thanks for your consideration.

Mark the thread on the upper rigth side (Opera forums) or do an Opera AddOns search ...

It's a good idea, I prefer double click for tab close, but just adding a selector of what action do would be perfect.

Just found a working way to prevent Opera from close by mistake: Tab Modifier
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-modifier/hcbgadmbdkiilgpifjgcakjehmafcjai

Just create a rule with one of the common tabs or even better with one of the pinned tabs, tested and works.
