See https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/new_profile/#wiki_create_multiple_profiles_for_opera for examples for Windows to get the idea. Then, see https://forums.opera.com/post/369720 and the comments that follow for some ideas how to do that on macOS.

For side profiles, yes, you need Opera GX. For creating extra profiles the Chromium way, that will work for both regular Opera and Opera GX.

Does anyone know how to solve?!

In the image it says: "A profile error occurred
Unable to read your preference files. Perhaps some features are not available and changes to settings will not be saved."

So, recently I was having some problems with Opera (this issue) and thought that restoring Opera from backup could solve my problems.
So I've deleted my profile folder and restored it from the backup (full directory intact, not some files/folders). But, completely unexpected for me, when I opened the browser, I discovered that all my extension settings were gone.
This is what happens on first launch after restore in one of the directories (%APPDATA%\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Local Extension Settings):
GIF showing big ldb files disappearing and tiny files taking their place

I tried to limit the restore to folders/files described in this article, but it only resulted in all of my extensions disappearing completely + some of my browser preferences to also get lost.

Just for the record: sidebar, cookies, history and bookmarks all has been restored successfully.

I really don't get it... Did some kind of checksum or signature get corrupted? If so, why I don't get any messages about anything going wrong with Opera just silently rewriting all of my files?

And, most importantly, are there any steps to restore my backup?

Opera version for backup: 72.0.3815.186 (presumably)
Opera vesrion current: 72.0.3815.207
Windows 10 Pro

Native multiProfile support
Has been asked many times but we didn't receive any official statement.

We would expect it in the future?
Or
To lock the built in Blink/Chromium feature It's a Company's management decision?

After 5 years, would be grateful to know whether will be unlocked or not.

@opera-employees

Thank you.

I intend to wipe everything, including my profile except for the bare essentials because of some issues when downgrading after a pretty disastrous upgrade, where I received a warning about the profile being for the version of Opera that I was downgrading from.

I've up- and downgraded and parallel-installed multiple versions of Opera quite a few times over the years, never changing my profile folder and never getting a warning about the version of my profile, which I thought was intentionally designed to be invariant across Opera versions.

Backing up my history and bookmarks seems pretty straightfoward, but backing up my extensions (especially to preserve the data in my V7 Notes extension) looks a little more complicated. Looking at

Opera help: Crashes and issues

I need to back up

Extension Cookies: Cookies associated with your installed extensions, such as location data for a weather extension

Extension Rules: A storage area for your extensions’ rules that need to be persisted

Extension State: A storage area for your extension’s states that need to be persisted

Extensions: Your installed extensions

Local Extension Settings: A storage area where your installed extensions can store local data

Please let me know if this is all I need to preserve my extensions' data.

Thanks

I was hoping Opera wasn't going to be as finicky as the others and not pimp out my Internet usage. I've taken to shopping the paid browsers - but the cost of maintaining my right to privacy is getting too expensive. Easier, and almost worth it to shoot the router. 🙂

Good luck with FF.
