Tabbing with right mouse + wheel, and doing it via 12.17s tab list, minus thumbnails?

vladimirzhirinovski: Because a web page might embed images. 4chan does this, and several tons of webpages. I agree it would be a very nice feature.

High-speed has removed that need, but off-site or remote ads (mostly images/multimedia) are equally, if not more annoying.

I was pleased to find that Opera kept the "Toggle Image" feature, but kind of surprised that nobody (opera/mozilla/micro$haft) seems to have a feature to "block any content not originating from THIS PARTICULAR website." What an easy way to fight band-width wasting, time-wasting, intelligence-lowering nonsense!

Have I missed an obvious extension/plugin?

Anybody know of one? Anybody interested in writing one, or giving me some pointers where to start writing it?

For undoing a closed tab, "Sexy Undo Closed Tab" (it's a Chrome extension) is, I think, pretty, good. And you can get it to use Control Z as a shortcut, instead of Control Shift T. "TooManyTabs for Chrome" seems to be the one most people talk about. It seems very complex. Just mentioning it in case you haven't tried it.

I agree that something like Tabs Mix Plus would be great.

I did prefer the old note feature in Opera 12.16, but this extension is sufficient for me for the time being. It also gives you a waste basket for closed tabs, though there, I prefer Sexy Undo Closed Tab in the Chrome store, which is quite good. I would like a notes function (as an extension) at least as strong as the one that was in Opera 12.16, where when you take a note to a website, the link to that website, automatically goes in the note. Then if you open the note, and click on the link-address, it automatically opened up the website page (relating to which the note was taken) in the browser.. Also, I'd like the notes function to not require registration with some place on the internet. The notes should be strictly on one's computer. With Browse ++ I can take a note, but have to manually copy and paste the address. And then to go there, I have to copy the address from the notes, and paste it into the address bar. So using it is not bad, but it's a bit more work.

it's one of THE most useful features that Opera has (had) and I can't live without it.

If I have tab-vault I can get around not having bookmarks, but not having Notes is a complete deal-breaker for me

A password manager where you don't have to put your passwords in the cloud, or on a third party website -- something close to what Opera gave us in the past with the wand. I don't want to put something in the cloud or on a third plarty website because of experiences where personal information has been stolen that way. It feels to me safer just kept on my own computer.

oh, amen to the Wand!

there's no way I'd trust my personal info on a cloud.
using the Wand feature meant I all I had to do was copy that one file from any copy of Opera I had (windows, linux, portable) and I was good to go

I want to be in control

not at the mercy of others

This is the 'Extension wishlist', it's not a place to report problems, but a place to request new extensions that do not yet exist or maybe of use to other users.

Till Opera 21 developer PigToolbox gestures from chrome worked perfectly, now they don't. I had to switch to FF, just watching Opera if it gets better.

We're looking into why this is.

-i'd love to see tabvault again.

How about https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/tabpacker/?display=en

-perhaps a button to run browser in a text mode (linux has some text based browsers). its good for productivity, this way you can search and read etc without distractions.

How about https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/cleanpages/?display=en

better password support as part of Opera or an extension

Maybe https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/local-pass-store/?display=en does what you want.

  1. Bookmarks as in Opera 12.x
    What the hell are Opera Devs thinking who they are? 5 Versions of new Opera and no usable (sic!) Bookmarks at all? This is ridiculous.

  2. tab groups
    One of my most used features of Opera 12 was the ability to stack Tabs into groups. Five versions after launching a absolute unusable because featureless browser this absolutely necessary feature is still missing.

  3. editable keyboard short cuts
    No editable keyboard short cuts at this time. If it were not a shame, I'd laugh all the time.

  4. Empty new page
    I hate this crap on each new tab. I need a plugin to get rid of all this nonsense (stash, discover, Google search bar and whatever). I want a plain light grey empty page. Period.

I don't understand why mouse gestures are build in if they are half baked. Till Opera 21 developer PigToolbox gestures from chrome worked perfectly, now they don't. I had to switch to FF, just watching Opera if it gets better.

Can you reproduce the problem if you uninstall the extension and try again? Do you have JavaScript turned on when visiting the page? It could be a timing issue if the relevant piece of JavaScript hasn't been loaded properly before you click the button. What is your Internet connection like?

why does it say "the extension was disabled because it is from an unknown source. go to the extensions manager to enable it"?

i can enable it sure, but why does it say that? isn't this an opera addon site?

OK, that may have added to my confusion.

The only issue is that it gets a bit confusing when swapping between tabs. It remembers which tabs had images on or off, but the button icon displays whatever the last clicked state was in any tab. So if I have images on in two tabs, click to turn them off in the first, then swap to the second, the button shows images off when images for that tab are on. I would be fine with it globally turning off images, but not taking any action until a site is re-loaded.

Actually, it seems it only affect the last open tab. So open two tabs, click on the icon and it will reload the second tab without images, even when I am looking at the first.

No, more complicated than that. The first time I use it, it works on the tab I am on (regardless of when I opened it). From then on it continues to only work on that tab, until I open a new one, then it only works on the new tab, and not the original one.

Perhaps a global setting with no re-loading would be easier. This is how 'image block' worked on FireFox, which is essentially what I would like for Opera.

Thanks for the effort though.

Neil.
