        @bob-tusmore Ι hoped so. I intended to directly reply to you also, but it only let me reply once (to that other guy at the end of the post list) because "I'm a fresh user" etc and I'd have to wait some minutes before replying again and (what a classic) I totally forgot abou it. Luckily you were notified as well.
        One last thing: I imported an older ".json" file instead of adding data to the "options" page from scratch, and at first Simple Fill wasn't working. All it took though was simply adding a new line of data (just jibberish) and after that Simpel Fill "came alive" and works fine. I'm just letting everybody know the workaround if they face the same issue as I did.

          @washcloud what do you mean when you say the chrome one worked? Did you download the chrome version of the extension and installed it in Opera?

            @ramgr8 (...Ι thought of not replying to this no sooner than mid 2024,,,but what the heck :ρ)
            "Υes". Even though it should be dead obvious that that's what I meant.

              @washcloud you do realize that this extension is free and I do have to work on other things to earn a living.

              It’s not dead obvious. It can also mean that you’re trying this extension on chrome browser. Doesn’t harm to clarify.

                @ramgr8 What exactly made you think that I do not respect the work you put into this free app of yours, by making sacrifices of your free time?
                My previous sarcasm had to do with you not responding to those few posts from some (me included), for such a long period of time. You solely responded today, when you saw that someone (namely me) "found some kind of solution" to our problem. Your last response here was 8 months ago. And even though I myself understand the need to work for a living, I couldn't excuse the abscence of at least one comment saying "guys, can't devote time for SF on Opera, sorry, so please stop asking. If I manage, you'll see me posting about it here". At least I (cant' talk for others than me), can respect that. Not saying anything at all, kinda hurt my feelings.
                Other than that, I'll thank you for SF 'casue it has been a helping app for me. An I do hope and wish that your professional life is and will be rewarding enough, 'cause "everybody" goes through harsh times nowadays, no matter where in the world he/she is and what he/she does....'Cause if there's one thing that I'm not, is disrespectful and unfair (well that's two things, but what the heck).

                  @ramgr8 And if I wasn't clear enough (had my reasons though), then "yes, I installed the chrome extension version" and (up to now), works fine (kinda makes sense too 'cause Opera is based on Chrome engline as far as I know (which doesn't neccessarily mean that an app can work "cross platform", but at least in this case, it does).

                    @washcloud Thanks for the "heads up", I'll keep in mind.
                    I imported the .json file from Brave and all worked fine.

                        @bob-tusmore ...new update for Opera and suddenly SF's (the Chrome version) dropdown list disappeared (when right-clicking some searchbox, trying to auto-fill with pre-saved info in Simple Fill, there no longer exists an "arrow" pointing to the pre-saved info I talked about). The (I repeat: Chrome's) extension hasn't been crashing (like Opera's version keeps doing when installed) - it simply "doesn't work" (does not do what it's supposed to be doing, for that matter). Thank heavens, it simply lost "all the data input in the extension's database", but going to the extension's options (through Opera's "extensions" list) and importing a (thoughtfully pre-saved) .json file with all my latest updates of data in it, made Simple Fill (Chrome version) functional again.
                        I do not know home much sense I made with the above (I probably jumbled various tech terms), because I'm under heavy medication for sciatica pain right now, but I hope everyone that gets here due to a dysfunctional SF extension,,,gets the idea and manages to make it work again.

                          @washcloud (All makes perfect sense.) I can confirm I had the same issue with all data disappearing on latest opera update with the Chrome extension version. I exported list from Brave and imported.

                              @washcloud Sounds like a good idea. That might difficult distance wise. I'm in Adelaide, Australia

                                          I last installed from Chrome Store (not Opera), which worked.
