          I have been using Chrome for my browser. I installed Opera and went to Google.com and signed into my google account so I could check my email. All of a sudden all of my Chrome settings and bookmarks were applied to Opera without me telling Opera to import anything.

            Although you didn't ask anything, I say that Opera import data from default browser doing installation.

              I use opera with VPN and it works quite well however it does not mask my ID from my Internet Provider. Is there a way?

              Thanks

                    You don't need to shout.

                    What sites can see your real IP address? It's not exactly impossible for a site to know that you are using a VPN and also know your IP.

                        Opera doesn't have a torrent client for its VPN to work on. Opera's VPN works only in Opera.

                          You should probably either install a VPN extension into Opera, or even a VPN proxy at the system level for a dedicated torrent browser to use, and download using that.

                              I have Opera 48 on a Windows 7 Professional 64bit platform. I want to open PDF files in my default PDF reader. I have gone in to Advanced settings and checked the box to allow this, but I still get the Download pop-up rather than opening in my reader.

                              It's getting quite annoying to have to download every PDF when 98% of the time, I just need to open it and read it. And, no, I don't want to open it in a web browser window.

                              I have tried the various work-around methods suggested online, but no joy.

                              Any info anyone can share as to how to simply open PDF's in my Foxit Reader? Works great on Firefox but not Opera and I really don't want to go back to Firefox.

                                Files will ever be downloaded. That option is to avoid using the PDF reader to display PDF files.

                                  I'm sorry, I don't understand.

                                  What "option is to avoid using the PDF reader to display PDF files?"

                                  Settings has a check box that says: "Open PDF files in the default PDF viewer application." I have the box checked but still only get the Download pop-up.

                                  Are you saying that Opera doesn't allow me to use my local PDF Reader and I can only Download them and then open them?

                                    The one you've enabled in Settings.

                                    Settings has a check box that says: "Open PDF files in the default PDF viewer application." I have the box checked but still only get the Download pop-up.

                                    Like I said, files will always be downloaded, they can't be opened directly in a third part software. Don't know if there are any extensions that allow you to do it.

                                    Are you saying that Opera doesn't allow me to use my local PDF Reader and I can only Download them and then open them?

                                    Yes. Opera, Chrome, etc.

                                        Hi,
                                        I want to ask, why can't I save my login username/password on uTorrent remote website in Opera Window web browser?
                                        I tried login & logout many times still it doesn't show any sign of saving passwords let alone username but when I login with Opera Mini it immediately asks to save my login info.

                                          Hi;

                                          How do I enable third party hosting in Opera? One of the mountaineering sites I visit - Scottish Hills - has trip reports and some people use this facility instead of directly posting the photos but I just get a message saying something about enabling third party hosting in my browser. Any ideas? I've been into Opera Settings but all the recommended settings are selected...

                                          Any advice gratefully accepted!
