@rh99 The site is guessing your location wrongly.

Hi @leocg it turned out that what was actually causing the
problem was a virus which caused Opera to crash but I cleared
the virus with anti virus software and I followed the instructions from the link that you gave me and everything is back up and
running again and I got all my bookmarks back thank goodness,
anyway thanks again for the help.

Is it possible to import-copy bookmarks from synced speed dials. All my speed dial book marks have gone though I have them listed in the bookmarks page for when they were last synced. Do I have to add them back one by one?

@rob-b Nope, you can select them all and copy/move into the Speed Dial folder.

@leocg Thank you

I opened full bookmarks view at the bottom of the side panel, which I hadn't seen before I don't think, and from there moved to the current speed dial.

Complex hardware failure meant new pc. Have a backup of essential files, but how can I find the ones that will give me my old Opera settings, favourites etc?

@corystes If you were using Sync, just login to Sync in the new installation. If you weren't using Sync, replace the content of the new profile directory with the one in your backup of the old profile directory.

Why can I not make My chosen new search engine a default. You just give me lousy popular site search, search engines as default choices when I have a superior one that I added which actually finds things I am looking for, not just what is acceptable for the brainwashed sheeple. Back in the 1990's we could actually find something. Why can't you offer something like that and not these programming mind numbing ignorant choices???????
Thanks

@nomad181 As already said and discussed several times, it's to avoid search engines being hijacked by malwares.

I'm Over them hijacking my browser and updating without my consent. I spend time I don't have trying to fix whatever setting they change Every Single Time . I have very specific setups for work and I have to spend the whole day fix it, so nothing gets done. I Do Not want it updated. So the location for the files are going into the DNS deny table. It can't update if it can't see the files.

Anyone know the domain name of the update server or download location? I tried opera.com but it didn't stop the update check. Thanks.

@tarantino14 Check the FAQ for how to disable Autoupdate.

@leocg Not asking how to change a file name. It's bunk and is not guaranteed to work or seems to respawn. Please read my request fully, you didn't answer my question.

I'm asking for the server name that serves up the files.

@tarantino14 You needed a way to stop auto-update, I replied with one. And yes, it works.

Is there a way to sync personal settings across different devices?
For example Extensions.
I installed an Extension in one device but can't see it in another one.

@eblecher Extensions aren't synced. There have been requests for adding it but, so far, the feature wasn't implemented.

I have been looking around on how to remove the annoying google search bar but the konami code doesn't work anymore. I was wondering if there's a way I can either remove it or change it from google to a different search engine.

@jakel856 It's right there in Settings > Advanced > Browser under Speed Dial, it's called Hide search box. The Konami code was used in Presto.

Hello i was using Opera for almost whole of my life but today i updated my Windows to Win10 and i realize videos doesnt work on Opera, but i tried on Google and it seems everything work perfect. At the beginning i realize only YT video works but now nothing at all. I check and i dont have codes H.264 and 265 but i dont know how to install it to use Opera.

@evenis You probably have a N version of Windows 10. Download the media package and you should be able to watch videos that use (some) proprietary codecs.
