@Oldgaf It probably just gets ignored, since there's no demand for it.

@Reakeryt-OP You use Windows Explorer or whatever file explorer you use.

@WillyKaus I don't think it's possible to remove it.

If you're one Windows:

Close both Opera GX and regular Opera.

Then, open up Windows Explorer (File Explorer), click "View", goto "Show" and enable both file extensions and hidden items.

Then, in both "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Opera Software", delete the "Opera GX Stable" folder if it's there. Then, right-click on the "Opera Stable" folder, choose "Copy", right-click in a blank spot in the "Opera Software" folder and choose "Paste". Then, right-click the "Opera Stable - Copy" folder, choose "rename" and rename it to "Opera GX Stable".

If you're on macOS, in "/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support", you should be able to delete the "com.operasoftware.OperaGX" folder if it's there, copy the "com.operasoftware.Opera" folder, paste a copy and rename the copy to "com.operasoftware.OperaGX".

If you're on Linux, you should be able to do the same type of thing in ~/.config with the Opera folders.

Then, if everything goes fine, your Opera GX will have everything your regular Opera had.

Note though that Opera GX uses more resources than regular Opera, because it has a lot more features. So, it's likely to be the same or slower than regular Opera.

If you're on Windows, you can try the method at https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/14hoo1b/comment/k0mn0p4/. It might work.

@trumpman said in Opera long hang on restart:

Btw, "--disable-features=UseEcoQoSForBackgroundProcess" still seems to work for me.

Indeed. Seems it got fixed at some point. Nice.

@Oldgaf What do you mean?

@SleepyAshsloth It's already possible, just use the tabs menu or the history menu.

Now, if you want to close a window and open days ahead from now, you can right click on the tab bar ans save the opened tabs to speed dial or pinboards

@SleepyAshsloth Kinda confusing, what exactly do you want?

@Dartinha I don't think it's possible to get your data back, if you don't have a backup.
