Opera, stop ignore us! I remember that you promised to bring Link back a YEAR AGO when released Opera 15! Already out version 22! Where's our Link? It's very needed and useful feature. Please, bring it back soon in the next updates!!! Otherwise you will lose the last loyal users.

Opera 24 is making huge progress into the right direction towards being a full browser again.
As someone who's granted access to Opera's Bug Tracking System (but not working for Opera so there's no point in doubting my words) I can assure you that sync is being reworked.
It's not ready yet and I'm not allowed to tell you more specifics, but syncing functionality is not forgotten. Promised. -

@christoph142 I take you by your word. For now, opera is gone at all my machines and devices, but as soon the sync feature and an updated linux version are back, I will likely give it try again. Opera has deserved it

OK. I just discovered that Opera had Opera Link that would work between my PC and my Android.
I installed Opera Mini on my Android. I already had Opera on my Windows PC to test customer websites.
I created an Opera Link account, created some bookmarks on my PC and couldn't find them on my Android.
Only then did I discover that Opera Link no longer works and that Opera doesn't tell you this until you've wasted 1.5 hours installing Opera, testing it out, troubleshooting it, and then discovering that the people at Opera are attracting users to adopt their browser solely for the purpose of pissing them off.
Within 10 minutes of posting this, I will have deleted Opera from my PC and my Android phone, and deleted my Opera Link account. I will no longer test customer websites on Opera.
Thanks for nothing, Opera! It will be a cold day in Hades before I recommend your browser to anyone.

I'm thinking about create some extensions, which will be connected to my database where will be saved these bookmarks, password etc...

I gave Opera a chance.
I tried the Opera for Android and sort of liked it.
I installed Opera on my laptop, and liked it less.
I tried Opera Link, did not work
Tryed to remove Yahoo from search engines and it didnt work
I tried uninstall Opera from all my devices and it worked.Bye bye Opera.
I will return to my usefull, configurable browsers again. -

I'm still using Opera 12 for the only reason that it supports Opera Link.
It doesn't make sense that one of the main features of Opera browsers were erased long time ago. I appreciate all the new features but I prefer to sacrifice them and keep using Opera 12 only for having the capability of syncing my link.
The problem is that Opera 12 is a CPU and RAM killer. Even in my I7 is really slower than other browsers (IE. Chrome). And Flash gives a lot of problems. That's the reason because I'll move to another browser and break my relationship with Opera soon.
I have to say I was using Opera for more than 10 years, when Opera was a pay browser (not free). I was using Opera in all my computers, mobiles phones and even NDS... That's a stupid way of losing clients IMHO.

Opera 12 was such a good browser. I realy want to support Opera and gave Opera > 20 several chances. In the end I switched back to a mix of Opera 12 and up-to-date browsers again. There are so many flaws in this new browser and the missing Opera-Link function just takes the cake.
3 years the same message. You have to be kidding!
Opera Link still works on Opera 12 (with minor bugs). IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO WORK THAT LONG ON ADDING AN ALREADY WORKING FEATURE. If Opera realy works on it, why cant they just show us their progress by adding an unfinished version to Opera>20? -

They are not adding Link to the new browser. They are implementing a completely new way to sync items. That takes time.

Wouldn't it be kinda intelligent to add the old Link-System to Opera>20 as long as they are working on the "completely new way"? I cannot see the purpose of a innovative system with years of development for a browser that has already been killed by bad marketing.

Implementing Link would also take its time and while it would probably be a bit less, they'd have to make sure then that both systems could work side by side. There's really no point in adding one system before another if neither one of them is implemented already.

I'm just looking at Opera Dev and what I can see? Synch! I cannot believe. It seems to be a little ascetic option.
But still no tab-stacking, trash in right place, notes, mail client, more gestures, scrolling tabs, bookmarks tree etc.

"They are working on this, so don't be so childish all of you who complain. "
That's retarded. This feature worked way way back when in opera 12 (the current version is 25). They broke it with an update, and it's been in the exact same broken state year after year. By my measure they've been "working" on this for more than two years.
Opera pioneered this feature and now every browser on the market today supports some kind of sync, even if it's through 3rd party extensions, except for opera.
The users are SUPPOSED to complain! Otherwise the developers wouldn't have a clue what features people want.
If the users simply do as you ask, leave without saying anything then opera will be dead.
Without the users you are insulting with your post, opera would not exist in the first place. I personally love opera, I've been using it since it cost money (Started with version 2, upgraded to 4), but without the sync feature I cannot keep using it.
It's stupid to spend countless hours setting up my browser exactly the way I want it only to lose all that work and have to start all over again on a new computer or on the same computer after it's been wiped and restored or upgraded to a new OS.
Which is exactly what just happened to me today, I had to replace the HDD in my laptop, installed windows, and then opera, logged into opera link using the synchronize menu and was shocked to see it does nothing but pull up a web-page with a few of my bookmarks and show me the same message I saw a year and a half ago about being patient. I'm generally a patient person but this is ridiculous.
In the time I've been waiting for opera to pull it's head out of it's ass, Xmarks was born, gained massive popularity, ran out of funding, died, and was absorbed by lastpass.
Give me a fucking break.... WE DID NOT NEED A NEW START PAGE THAT'S ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE OLD ONE. WE DID NOT NEED BOTH BOOKMARKS AND SPEED-DIAL (ONE OR THE OTHER WOULD HAVE SUFFICED NICELY). WE DO NEED SYNC HOWEVER, BADLY....
Opera allows for massive customization, I had hundreds of bookmarks, extensions, stored passwords, custom settings, etc. As I mentioned I've been using it for years and years. I had it just perfect. I even helped the extension developers debug "buffer" just the other day before my laptop HDD died.
Now all that is just gone, wiped from existence.
I don't have to waste dozens of hours re-doing all of that work on Chrome, Firefox, or Internet explorer (all I have to do is log back in, fire up sync and BAM, right back to where I was before) so how can I continue to use Opera? There isn't enough time in the day as it is.
If the developers were ever going to get sync working, they would have done it a long long time ago. It just isn't that hard. Give the users what they want or pack up and go home. We don't need you.
At the very fucking least, remove the "synchronize" menu that does nothing except fool the users into thinking their stuff is backed up.
I'm now going to move permanently to either Chrome or Firefox, which ever performs better on my system. Opera is dead to me now.
