@Razwerkz Thanks for this hint!

The point is: ALL the other apps i use can handle this with the standard-functionality, because they have a regular title-bar.

Anyway, i will have a look at your suggestion.

@MrTeatime said in Why Create New Versions of Opera Instead of Adding Features to One?:

Hi Opera team!
I have a question about your browser development strategy. Currently, there are several versions of Opera, such as Opera GX, Opera Air, and Opera Neon. I’m wondering why you choose to create separate versions of the browser with unique features instead of implementing these solutions as options in a single, main version of Opera.
For example, the features available in Opera Air could just as well be introduced as a "focus mode" in the standard version of Opera. Could you explain what benefits this approach brings both to you and to users?
Thanks, and looking forward to your thoughts!

Hi! 👋
Thanks for the clear explanation! Your answer really helped me understand why separate versions exist—it makes sense for users who want specialized features without cluttering the main browser. Appreciate the insight!

@lol-boi If there is nothing in sync.opera.com, then there is no synced data for Opera to get.

What data did you export? Usually it can be imported in the same place where you have exported the information.

@tigermanoiu The same thing is happening to me, my phone (samsung A13) just keeps loading, doesn't show any code, and my computer (microsoft windows 11) doesn't move on from the qr code. I used to have flow but one day it just disconnected (probably due to an automatic update) and now it doesn't want to connect again.

Nothing shared here is working, this issue has to be fixed, it's ridiculous that this still happens after years.

The built-in VPN feature is missing from the Chinese version of Opera due to local internet regulations, and the browser often disables it even if you try to install the international version. To gain access to the global internet (like Google Search), you must use a dedicated, external VPN application installed directly on your computer, which will securely route all your internet traffic outside the country's network filters.

Can you backup workspaces so they can be reinstalled on another PC?

You cannot directly sync Workspaces with tabs using Opera Sync, so a manual migration is required. The process has two key parts:

Backup Tabs: Manually save all open tabs within each Workspace to a uniquely named Speed Dial folder. Then, export all Bookmarks (which includes these folders) to an HTML file.

Migrate Profile: Copy the entire Opera Profile folder (found via opera://about) from the old PC to the corresponding location on the new Windows 11/Parallels installation.

After migration, your Workspace names and settings should appear, and you can re-import the HTML file to the new browser, allowing you to open the saved tabs into the correct Workspaces.

@spendlove

Hi there,
I had the same issue. You can download an older version of Opera and install that. I used this link, which is a stable release from July this year.

https://get.geo.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/120.0.5543.128/mac/Opera_120.0.5543.128_Setup.dmg

Then you need to run a command in Terminal to prevent autoupdates. Please seek advice elsewhere to learn how to do that.

But be aware that this stops the machine you have this on, to synchronize with another device running more recent Opera on Mac OS 11.8

Goto the URLs opera://settings/translate, opera://settings/languages and opera://settings/spellCheck.

You need to remove all the languages you don't want from those sections and then turn off translating in the translate section. With translating on, when Opera asks you to translate a page and you choose to, it'll add that page's language to those sections, but it does it in a buggy way sometimes and messes things up.

@gdeVPN You can enable VPN in settings page.

If there's no VPN section on settings page, then VPN is not available in your region.

@bigdaddy034 Yes, it's known that Opera only allows predefined search engines to be set as the default one and it doesn't seem that they are planning to change that.
