      @zalex108 Regarding extensions sync, this is something I think would benefit lots of users. However, I know that implementing such thing may not be that simple.

        @zalex108 Opera has its own UI, so a button that exist in Chromium/Chrome may not exist in Opera.

        If you mean the shrink, there's a post with a Gif where appears the behavior.

        Don't know if now is disabled somehow.

          I think there is an engine and code that uses Chome and Vivaldi, maybe Opera uses its own, but at least the option to export the Ext list will be much appreciated and a step on the right direction, - help users to use their product -.

            @zalex108 I guess that if you backup the extension related folders in Opera's profile directory, you should be able to add them back.

              Sure,
              I do that, but if you want to share the extensions with another person you have to install an extension just to export them.

              Also,
              I do not have the same extensions on all profiles but sometimes I need one of them and do not rememeber the name and can't access the computer to check it.

              Also,
              being on this, Back up the profile should be on the browser.

              How many people look at the help before use a browser?
              For another app maybe many, but for a browser?

              Even now, many people is not backing up their most personal stuff. 馃檮

                @zalex108 There are requests that I think would be helpful and useful for most users if implemented, but there are many other that would benefit just a very small percentual of users and would help solving issues that should be handle by other professionals and not browser developers.

                Implementing something has a cost and it has to be taken in consideration when adding a feature, an option, etc, in the product.

                Nor Opera nor any other company can base their decisions on the opinion of a dozen of users that may not even represent the majority of the users.

                Excuse me, but when hundred of posts have been written about the new UI and devs don't seem to bother, shows exactly the opposite. Full indifference to their users. Just an example about their "consideration"
                Can you please give us a number of the subscribed users of this forum? Cause i can't believe that so many posts became from a dosen of users. Also all these posts about the changes to video pop-up feature (in 66 edition) came from the minority of users? I don't think so!
                What bothers me the most has nothing to do with the features they deride to put in the browser as with the full absence of options to disable them (in most of the cases).
                And the most annoying of all has to do with updating. I want to be asked first and not being forced to. That simple.

                That's the meaning of this topic.

                  @stolis Hundreds of posts not necessarily written by hundreds of people. Some people post the same requests several times.

                      I don't think i would s喂t down and post 20 different messages about the same problem. If you are "implying" all those posts about the UI changes came from a dosen of users then i 've got nothing more to say.

                        Not sure,

                        But on the old Blogs comment system I saw many people replying not being using the Forums, - for Dev Builds -.

                        --

                        For Suggestions just seen "many" people supporting instead of opening New Topic's Suggestions.

                        --

                        Usually I've not seen to many movement on the forums, maybe a few more on the lasts months, but not too much.

                        Despite that, and some Reddit users it seems that not too many users uses the Forums.

                        I don't know on Social Networks but if the active users are on the Forums; Reporting Bugs, Giving Feedbacks, Requesting Suggestions and helping each other, the most the Company could do is taking them in count.

                        --

                        Just read some News about a supposed Commercial situation on Opera, that would be expected.

                        Check out the Forum or GHacks.

                          @leocg Oh well, yet Vivaldi is doing better in terms of features and usability than Opera. Chinese conglomerate isn't doing anything for Opera it seems.

                          At the very least add features that users suggest in the forums which get upvoted the most. Or were waiting for a long time like say: User defined default search

                            @artexjay Opera does implement features requested by the users. And when they do it, the other half that never asked for the feature start complaining about it.

                            It's been like that since I started using Opera about 25 years ago.

                              @leocg Well it doesn't help your argument that the majority of Opera's features are half done. Hence why people will complain about it not being on par. Maybe if Opera would stop making new useless browsers all the time and would focus on finalizing their features in their main browsers they would have more luck perhaps?

                              At the rate that Opera is going now, all I know is that they try to do too many things with not enough resources or people making all of their apps quite mediocre, you may say Opera is that kid with adhd who is unable to focus on one task at a time.
