Please make video pop up in new screen to be like older version, without that fade to gray and pause when mouse is on top of opened window, and ability to make video window size to be resized more, not fixed like now.

I think opera should pay more attention to linux world because the performance in there is way behind the windows version. I use it daily in the windows 10, its snappy and does not consume a lot of resources, on the other hand in linux, any kind of distro I tried its not snappy and when it comes to RAM usage it is taking more than 1GB for 3 tabs which is crazy, therefore I have to switch to something else in pop os!

@rajmondburgaj, I use Opera in Linux every day, and I don't have performance problems. That's probably because I use Tab Suspender, which unloads unused tabs and reduces memory usage.

When will Extensions be synced?!

And Yes. 201 tab on mobile - does not sync with PC!
Only 70 pieces are displayed on the PC!

Bring the printer module into the 2010s, if not the 2020s

@leocg: What do you mean, I only have five sync options: Bookmarks, History, Settings, Passwords and Open Tabs.

Hi @leocg, I've noticed another issue with Opera turning on from sleep mode, it takes extremely long to load pages. I can assure you it's not my internet, it's been happening for a week straight now after booting up from sleep mode.

Yeah, that´s great, but.....

1. will ever be fixed not working sync between Opera Mini / Opera for Android and Opera for Windows??? It´s been year´s and nothing changed.... I want to share my bookmarks between devices and I can´t. Every browser is able to do it, except opera
2. Will ever be available Opera for Sailfish OS? I want it to use it as default browser, but almost every user of Sailfish OS doesn´t want to use android app with doubtful performance, when Sailfish OS is Linux. So, dear Opera, can you make Opera available for Sailfish OS?

1. I'm having an issue logging in on Opera for Windows currently, but sync used to work here.

2. Maybe when that OS starts becoming somewhat relevant, they will release a version for it.

No such option exists here on the latest Opera Stable on Windows 7.

@icetom87 @artexjay This is a very old misunderstanding on statistics that appears time and time again in discussions about Opera. Please, pay close attention to the explanation.

Yes Opera's market share may look stale or even at a decline, but this can happen while the number of users go up. How? The total population from which the stats are measured increases. Every time a new Android phone is sold that's a new "Chrome user by default" and every time an iPhone is sold there's a new obligatory Safari user. It happens while new parts of the world population buys/switches to their first smartphone or their first device capable of surfing the web even! (Don't forget developing countries where there are people that can't even access the web.)

It doesn't take users away from Opera directly, most of the time it's a new web user browsing on the default browser of their device and they don't know better or don't care. And hey Opera tried, they have partnerships to have the Opera browser pre-installed in some phones, but Google and Apple are at an position where it's basically impossible to compete, just look at Mozilla Firefox presence on mobiles and how Google smashed them in desktop after promoting Chrome everywhere where they used to promote Firefox.
