      I hope Opera can talk to us about what they think about this feature. Communication is good to connect with users and developers aferall.

        +1 for Sync Extensions option.

        In the year of our Lord 2022, you've got gimmicky music and sounds for GX, yet missing basic functionality that has been in other browser since 2012, probably earlier.

        Do something - or lose your user base. Tab groups are also better than Workspaces.

          Maybe some expert users could comment on this - since Opera allows installing extensions from the Chrome web store, does this prevent opera from syncing them across?

            @pyll0 Across what? There is no tool to sync extensions.

              @leocg Just curious if installing extensions from chrome web store instead of 'opera extension' only will prevent Opera team to develop sync function around it.

                @pyll0 Shouldn't hinder development at all.

                  Hi developers at Opera, I appreciate your effort in including social media and crypto elements to the flagship browser, but would you take a moment to talk to us about what you guys think about the extension sync feature? We'd love to hear from you!

                    I too am wondering about this feature so I decided to bump this thread. I don't understand why this isn't getting any attention from the team...

                      It's been 3,000 years now and apparently this simple thing cannot be done? Other browsers have already landed on Mars, we still out here trying to sync or addons..... Wtf?

                          Here's hoping in 2023, we've got syncing across devices which include extensions 🙏

                            Hi,
                            I wholeheartedly agree with this suggestion concerning the addition of adding extensions in the 'advanced sync settings' area. Currently as most people already know users have to add their desired extensions manually which seems rather old fashioned.

                              I do a lot of coding/development & lately I have to reset my entire Opera profile wayyy to frequently (after opera crashing instantly on start).
                              I still love Opera but Sync All is definitely not Sync All...

                              • I use loads of extensions (and only some of them got their own sync system).
                                Please implement a Sync Extensions option
                              • Settings aren't synced either (I've got mine pretty fine tuned & it take loads of time to do all over again...)
                              • Search engines synchronization would be awesome too!

                              Please do something about it or I'm afraid I'll have to switch back to Google Chrome! (with full extension synchronization)

                                @phyck why switch to Chrome instead of Edge? Edge is much better right now

                                    I jump between devices all the time, not to mention you have a whole ad campaign with Xzibit now about pimping your mother******* browser. Well I want to sync everything I've done to customize my browser including my extensions and settings for said extensions.

                                      @stealthgyro said in Option to "Sync Extensions" in Advanced Sync Settings:

                                      I'm still hoping that at some point in the not too distant future that the opera developers will seriously consider implementing the addition of including the addition of extensions in the syncing function.
