      There you will find:

      1. BOOKMARKS BAR which is actually the Quick Access Bar (QAB)
      2. Themes
      AND MANY OTHER OPTIONS

      Hmmm...
      Just converting from Presto to Blink on one more of the computers I use. This time, however, there seems for some reason to be trouble with D&D from the Speed dial to the Quick Access Bar. What can have happened?

        Awesome!!! I've used CC Cleaner for years. Love this new option in this utility. Thank you. 🙂

          I've been using Stylish to give me the ability to apply custom CSS stylesheets to individual websites and its been working pretty good. Not as good as Opera 12's Site Preferences, but its a start.

            So, i am going to assume, there are no mods or anyway to have tabs for pages at the bottom of the browser like in 12.x and lower versions of Opera?

            What *exactly* do people see positive about 18.x and above??????

              The main positives for me are speed and the fact it now is much friendlier with most sites as in almost every site works properly with Opera whereas, in the past, I always had to use Mozilla for some sites as Opera just didn't display them properly or work properly with them.

              Opera 19 is very, very fast compared to 12, which was getting very sluggish and crashing all the time.

                I really miss the feature of being able to tweak the user interface of the Opera to the extent of the Presto versions of Opera. What I do not miss was all the signs Opera had run into a blind alley in that development line, like browser freezing all tabs for 10-20 seconds upon one page calling up a slow plugin, pages never fully finish loading, occasionally sluggish handling of multiple tabs etc.

                I am not comfortable to rely on a lot of third party mods to do all the tweaking I liked about the Presto version, but I can live better with it than living with a browser lagging behind. That would not fit a browser built on the idea of being fast performing.

                  I believe that it does. Just focus the field and copy.

                  Test: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/classic-tabs/?display=en

                  (I was searching through the forums, and this is the only post that is related to this topic)

                  How can I fix opera so the links will include "" or "" or whatever is before the url? when I copy an url it gets copied as :

                  my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1789712

                  so in most places, I have to write the http:// or https:// etc...

                  is there a way to get opera to show ALL url? (with http)

                    Hi Pojomx, you can download, and install latestOpera Developer 21, and enable this feature in: "O-Menu->Settings->User interface->Show full URL...".
                    You can read about it in theofficial announcement regarding this release.

                        Opera Developer is still a bit experimental. Opera Next will be released as the next final version as soon as it's stable enough. So there are three distinct development channels — Developer, Next, Final, or Alpha, Beta, Released. Currently, that means Opera 21, 20, and 19. When Opera Next is released as Opera 20, then Opera 21 developer will be promoted to Opera Next, and Opera 22 Developer will follow in due course.

                          Or to put it in slightly different and hopefully easier terms, Developer is where new features are introduced and Next is where they are stabilized.

                            I've been using Next for quite awhile now and noticed today that:

                            "Version: 19.0.1326.9 - An error occurred while checking for updates"

                            So I have to download the most current version to get the updates, I guess. I just updated this morning to get to the version noted above but, obviously, it's not updating properly for me otherwise.

                              It's probably just be a temporary server malfunction.

                                  Hey guys, I hope this topic is still about customization.

                                  Is there a way to remove/hide this nasty Opera "O" button and make it look like in chromium? Coz now it's really out of place: http://i.imgur.com/cLiXke3.png

                                    U U D D L R L R B A to get into power-user mode? Looked like a joke, but it actually worked. WTF!? You have so much work to do, like bringing back Opera 12 features, and THIS is what you waste your work-hours to?
