<![CDATA[General Opera Discussion Topic]]>You guys absolutely have to have containers as Firefox does. For me, it seems you're faster and less glitchy and, that's why I'm still using Opera. And, the visual quality is just cleaner with the text and everything displayed being crisp and seeming high-resolution. I love that. However, there are serious limitations with extensions or, add-ons as they're called in Firefox. Right now, it's the workspace feature, the clean and tight look of the assets displayed that are keeping me using it. Firefox is kind of evidently slow. However, the range of add-ons and now, the container feature has had me downloading it. I'm really considering switching to it. I would have no choice because those features just align with my workflow. And, your bookmark feature is too much headache. Too, too much headache with that "Passphrase" thing.

Your scaling is the incredible. However, scaling isn't everything.

Thanks.

Anyway, do a backup if that data is important for you.

But can you guarantee, dear moderator, that I won't loose any of the settings from my previous version ? Thank you for looking into this.

Also, being Opera a Chromium based browser, I would say that most part of it is already open source.

Anyway, if you don't want to keep your OS up to date, you will have to deal with the consequences.

I was wondering about a way to hide the Sidebar while using opera, whithout going to settings and clicking enable and disable, and as far as i know there is no way to do it automatically, but i found a way, what you have to do is set a shortcut that will allow you to enable and disable using the keyboard, you just need to go to settings, advanced settings and search for Shortcuts then assing a shortcut to that accion.

Am Victor, Thanks!,

You can tell Opera not to add promoted speed dials (Amazon or otherwise). But if you don't want to look for such options, that's your choice.

Opera is so fking broken nowadays. I can't even log in here without error messages and failed logins, so i have to use Chrome to be able to write this.

I went from IE to Firefox 2004 and loved it for 12 years, but around 2016 when Firefox decided to commit suicide by stupidity, i moved to Chrome, but I didn't fully liked it. I quickly found Opera and it was love immediately. But now Opera seems to have suicide plans as well as NOTHING works anymore.

I have posted these issues before and followed every suggestion given to me to no avail. I only have one option left, and that is to format and reinstall Windows. But I will not do that as this is my only computer for work and private, and i'm not sure the problems will be solved by a such drastic measure. Moving to Chrome is not an option, and seeing Firefox's death throes from the hangman's knot is not directly encourages one to give them a second chance either.

Opera problems (All works fine in Chrome)

  • Many websites does not load correctly or take ages to load
  • I can't mouse scroll on some websites
  • Some website has a 3-10 seconds delay when typing
  • Some login pages shows strange errors including this forum
  • My bank in Vietnam "times out" many times
  • My bank in HK takes forever to execute transactions or "times out"
  • Facebook messenger only load a handful of contact and keep the rest grayed out.
  • Facebook messenger- It takes 10-15 second to switch from one contact to another.
  • Getting "out of memory" warnings all the time (Having 32Gb ram)
  • Writing text similar to this and Opera decides to reload the page and all text is lost.
  • And many more minor issues

I have updated to latest version, cleaned cache, history, uninstalled, deleted the profile directory, not using addons, reinstalled Opera etc etc and the problems are coming back after just a few days of use.

I see that the profile error message is still appearing that I originally wrote about 18 months ago.
The other point was updating Opera where I used to get the message "an error has occurred" about 7 out of ten attempts, is this still the same ?
The two current browsers that I use have never had issues with manual updates. The moderator often gives the impression these are not major issues but if other browsers manage to work properly why can't Opera ?
