Hello everyone.
I'm asking for help with my browsing history in Opera.
I really need to find an address in the history that I visited about 1 year ago (approximately October 2024).
But the last date in the browser history is 06/09/2025.
Opera browser was reinstalled about two years ago along with Windows.
What can be done? -

You can try checking your Google/Youtube history, in case you searched for something related to that site back then.
https://myactivity.google.com/myactivity
Another option I often use: do a search in WhatsApp, maybe you sent the link to someone.
BTW, I "chat" with my own number to temporarily store some important stuff, or to easily pass info between the computer and the phone. -

While Opera is closed, you can try SQLiteStudio to see if the URL is still stuck in the "History" file somewhere. It's a longshot though.
Database -> Add database.
Click the folder icon for the File field.
In the "Select database file" dialog, change the filename filter to "All files".
Browse to "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable" select the "History" file, click "Select" and click "OK".
Then, in the left-hand pane, right-click on the "History" database and choose "Connect to database".
Once connected, double-left-click on the "urls" table to load it. Then, switch to the "Data" tab in the right-hand pane. You can then type in the "filter data" field for what you want to search for and press enter. You can clear the field and press enter to see all URLs again.
You can try the same thing with the "visited_links" table and even the "keyword_search_terms" table. Or, whatever table you want.
When you're done, you can right-click the "History" database and choose "Disconnect".

If the history was cleared or overwritten after reinstalling, it’s hard to recover directly from Opera. You might try checking synced data or backups if you had sync enabled kind of like how bigintoenergylabubu helps track things you don’t want to lose.
