      Syncing a browser is only about the many browser custom settings; extensions, preferences, themes, wallpapers, apps, and addon's, predominantly. Obviously, bookmarks are either used in a cloud setting, and can even be shared cross-browser, and so, 'browser sync' has nothing to do with bookmarks. All major browsers (Chrome, Chromium, FF) sync the browser settings (again, not to be confused with bookmark syncing). I guess Opera will be among the last to do so, or, it will never happen, which will mean it will not be used as much, as in its potential as a front runner browser. Bummer! Thankfully the Linux Mint OS is bringing the Chromium browser back into its repository in mid Dec 2020; at that time I guess I'll swap Opera for it.

          Adding another comment in the hope that devs will hear us. Opera is a very nice browser, and you want to keep the community alive and not let this browser die and be forgotten -- please, hear us and add this feature! Every other browser on the planet already has this implemented.

            Today I am looking for a web browser that has less RAM usage for 3 hours. I'm tired of dealing with plugins after every format. You do your best to make sure people don't choose you. 😥

                Re: Option to "Sync Extensions" in Advanced Sync Settings

                Just started using GX. Everything was seamless. Until I have formatted my PC and re-installed OS. After the clean OS, first thing was to download Opera GX. I was feeling so safe, that I have picked "sync all" feature.
                But hey!
                How doesn't everything involve extensions??????

                  From now on, I'll only use Opera to install browsers who support full synchronization (extensions included)

                    @brankoleone I already shifted to Vivaldi as my personal browser. I said goodbye to Opera after long years of waiting. Opera does not have multiple profile options also. Now opera become useless for me. I don't think Opera Software care about this anymore.

                            this feature already requested for 4 years ago and still no feedback from opera team.

                            i suggest to not waste your time and move to vivaldi, vivaldi is like opera but much better (yes, they have sidebar, and can sync extension)

                              @shojimeguro-0 Vivaldi has also profiles, tab preview and split screen with vertical/horizontal tabs, auto switch dark/light theme and much more...

                                    +1 from me, this is a must have feature (or at least the option to do it).

                                            Syncing extensions manually is a pain. Hey devs, let's implement extension syncing, please.
