      What's the point of opera sync, if i saves and loads the cookies, passwords, etc for current installation? But if i uninstall, and reinstall opera, with clean profile, and log in with my operalink, none of the previously saved cookies, paswords load for this installation.

            @sanyigz Sync doesn't sync cookies but it syncs saved passwords, although not by default.

              @leocg yes it syncs passwords, for the same profile. But i i reinstall, then it's not the same profile anymore.

                @sanyigz It syncs passwords. Period. If you install Opera in different computers and enable sync on all of them, your passwords will be available on all of them. Your should be at least.

                  @leocg but it isn't. Every time when this happened i needed to save, and sync every passwords. Only were available if i just relog with the same install.

                    @sanyigz Well, it usually works for me. When I do a new installation, I get my passwords from Sync.

                    Are you remembering to enable password sync? It's not enabled by default.

                      errors on every page. System time is perfect. But chrome is like poo, just like the coders of it. And opera is sadly just a chrome skin since few years, just like nearly every other browsers.

                        I would goto https://sync.opera.com/web/ and reset your sync data to wipe out all your synced data to start over. I'd also start with a new profile in Opera. Close down Opera and delete the profile folder. See the URL opera://about for the path. Then, start Opera, enable/log into sync, set what you want synced and then use Opera. Then things should work as long as nothing outside Opera is interfering.
