Where did all my bookmarks go in Opera 16?

Minimalist interface work for OSX and iOS because they were designed that way from the beginning, that's why users love them and patiently will discover "hidden" features.
Microsoft and other vendors having drunk the "latest" UX Koolaid and apparently don't understand why removing ALL of the buttons result in a NON-existant user experience.
Taking away Bookmarks and forcing customers to create yet another cloud account in order to collect more data, show shareholders and advertisers bigger numbers only creates value for Marketing VPs and their Power Point pie-charts.
In the meantime the user is left high and dry - will simply move on to a product they are more familiar with.
If I want more minimalist I'll buy another Macbook with Safari, thank you.
Even Chrome uses bookmarks and offers a minimum of useful menu bar icons.
Until telekinesis-based menus are available, I suggest that Opera's principals stop the Fisher-Price approach to computing. A phased-in approach is how to do this, not alienating a devoted user base cultivated over many years.[/FONT]

I've just installed an addon, "Bookmarks Manager", into version 18.0.1284.68 for Mac, and I've imported Bookmarks from Chrome version 31.0.1650.63 for Mac. It's not ideal, but it works.

Why I deleted Opera 19 and restored Opera 12:
(1) Bookmarks are indispensable to me, so I went back to Opera 12.
(2) I like using Startpage as my default search tool. Opera 19 doesn't allow custom default search engines, so I went back to Opera 12.
(3) I liked having the panel on the left of my browser. Opera 19 doesn't have panels, so I went back to Opera 12.
(4) Opera 19 got rid of Opera Link. I use Opera Link, so I went back to Opera 12.Hmm... Time to rethink things a bit.
Opera 12 is an old browser. I need a browser that is current.
I guess I'll have to drop Opera 12 and go to an open source version of Chrome.
For those of you now looking for a new browser, here are my recommendations:SRWare Iron: http://www.srware.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=18
Chromium OSX: http://www.freesmug.org/chromiumI sure hope Opera gets a clue about this, but it seems they are determined to pursue the path their on. I will leave with these questions for them to think about:
How is the "New Opera" browser similar to the Windows 8 interface?
Windows 8 sure worked out for Microsoft, didn't it?Bye Bye Opera. I'll check back next year year to see how you're doing.

Relax, your old bookmarks.adr file is definitely stored somewhere (that's if you didn't use Opera Link).It must be located at home /Library/Opera...About "getting to many sites", I've been using the Speed Dial and its groups as the sole place to store my favorites and it works fine for me. Right now I have more than 500 links there. I can either open the links with the mouse or type in the address field to get them as suggestions.
"Relax" - "works fine for me" = Smug
They need to Trash the worthless Stash" and install a real Bookmarks System, Manager and Sync! Defying reasoning and logic to be different for the sake of being different, IS IDIOCY! Remember, Ignorance can be corrected.

I'm still using Opera 12 because you haven't sorted out bookmarks yet. Get it sorted please! Firefox, Chrome and others all have bookmarks, why did you, with one of the best browsers decide to get rid of them? I won't be updating till you get them back.Surely it can't be that difficult to add a panel with bookmarks.

Panels are not possible with Blink/Webkit if I remember rightly, a limitation with/of the engine from what I have been reading. Don't know how much truth is in that though.

Lost all my bookmarks, and I had a lot. I'm assuming it was the update that killed them. I restored my system back a couple weeks and got them all back. Now opera is trying to get me to update again. Do I have to change to a different browser now? Is this new update gonna delete the bookmarks again. Should I try Avast Safezone? Microsoft Edge? I hate Chrome. Why do thes idiots think they know better than us users what we want? Why can't they just leave things alone?
