          Hello, is there a way to hide the google search bar on the main page? I have set DuckDuckGo as my main search so I do not want to see the Google search bar on my main page. Thank you for all help! Cheers....

                @rpwsalw It's Gmail itself that is changing the language. Disable the VPN or change the language in Gmail's settings.

                  Maybe I'm missing something here but I don't seem to be able to do this other than drag each link from

                  https://www.sync.opera.com

                  Can't we just block on the correct one and install the saved speed dial like on the Android version?

                    @colej2k Check Other Speed Dials in the bookmarks manager page, opera://bookmarks.

                    Copy the itens from there to Speed Dial if you want to see them in the current Speed Dial.

                      The Opera icon is always active in Windows 10 taskbar, and I don't know why. There are no pending notifications that I can observe.

                      Any idea?

                        @yakichan It means a broken download in your downloads list. Clean it.

                            I believe there's a 'control and something' that will exit full screen when browsing. Escape doesn't work. Any ideas?

                              @davidr1 F11 is the universal key to enter/exit full screen mode, usually.

                                  @dying0 You can't use mp4, you need to use webm or webp.

                                  See https://dev.opera.com/articles/making-animated-themes/ for more info on how to create an animated wallpaper.

                                    Where do I find the file(s) with the bookmarks and the tabs?
                                    My Opera crashed and I have only my hard drive to download the respective files.

                                        Hello, I ran into a problem.
                                        Reinstalled windows and found the lack of history, settings, passwords and bookmarks.
                                        Is it possible to return everything if it was not synchronized with the account? I mean there is a history cache file on my computer.

                                          @dementr For history, settings and bookmarks, you can use your backup. Passwords can onlt be restored through Sync or by importing them after have exported those passwords to a csv file.
