Re: Backup Addons
Dear Opera Browser Developer
Please add an option to "sync extensions" in Advanced sync settings.
It would save a lot of time for a lot of people.
Today, without the extension sync option, every time someone buys a new device, they need to MANUALLY ADD ALL EXTENSIONS.
Also, whenever someone wants to add a new extension, they need to DO SO ON EVERY DEVICE they use opera.
Imagine, if there was such an option for syncing extensions, ALL THAT REPETITIVE, WASTED TIME, could be USED MORE PRODUCTIVELY.Thanks

+1I believe this has been suggested before.
Opera is a wonderful browser. I just started using it, after a few years of Chrome and many many years of Firefox use.
I feel Opera is better than both of them.One thing though: when installing Chrome (e.g. within VM), then it adds the add-ons automatically.
Very handy and something I hope/wish developers will add to Opera.
Positively meant suggestion. -

Sync extensions (add-on) is now the only reason I use Chrome. -

This just blows my mind for years. Everybody I know or read about while using Opera misses this feature yet is not even planned nor implemented! It is really annoying to set up all the extensions again. Does it sound productive to keep a spreadsheet of your extensions and every time having to install it manually? No. Just no. Please, consider this!

No communication related from Opera.

This could save a ton of time for a lot of people. I personally use many extensions (from both chrome web store and opera extensions store).
I think the developers may be hesitate to include extensions from third party extension stores.
But please [Shouting removed] of the extensions installed on the opera browser account. That will help opera users more comfy. -

it's been 3 years i monitor opera dev and it seems not interested to implement sync to extension, as sys-admin this is dealbreaker so i decided to use vivaldi instead !
Vivaldi has better sidebar, feature, and most importantly it can sync extensions ! shame on you opera ! time to uninstall.

Uninstalled Opera for the clear lack of support for its users. GG EZ, no regrets.
