@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.

Hi,

Moving from FF to Opera on my Linux workstation, I try to familiarise a little with the pretty different interface. I have succeeded to setup sync like in FF and also import easily all my bookmarks and install my Bitwarden extension.
I just have a little issue. How to remove Google search from default new tab ? or at least change it for Duck Duck Go that is my default search engine setup already for address bar ! I can't find in settings how to change that ? I was able to remove all the crap shortcuts present there by default but not the search engine

Thanks for your ideas, suggestions

@vincelaus You can't change the search engine in start page, you can just hide it using the option in the start page section of the settings page.
