In Opera, goto the URL opera://settings/autofill and delete the entries you want.

Also, when the entries pop up in a field, select one of the entries and hit shift + del to see if that gets rid of it.

Set opera://flags/#enable-autofill-native-dropdown-views to disabled.

Disabling the flag should make the button returns.

Why was the ability to delete individual entries with X removed?

Feels like a depreciation of user experience and makes no sense.

Why else? Using native dropdowns is compatible with screen readers, using a proprietary dropdown is not. Entries can still be deleted via the keyboard. (And this is something Chrome did that we just inherited - complain to them.)

@sgunhouse OK, I'll admit it was pretty easy to click shift+delete on entries. All good

@vegelund I had no idea it could be done. I tried using DEL many times, but it did nothing.
Thank you!
