      @marikelis47 You need to use an extension to stop autoplay.

          I want to use Opera GX but I've been using Opera Browser for years. All of my data are in Opera Browser and I have some doubts actually.

          1- First and most important question: What will happen my data when I start to use Opera GX, I want to uninstall Opera browser and download Opera GX. There are lots of data on this browser, my accounts, extensions etc. I don't want to lose them.
          2- Does Opera GX have workspaces? I use them a lot. I can't do without them.
          3- I don't need sidebar extension of Messenger, Whatsapp, or Twitter. I only use Instagram on sidebar, does Opera GX also has this?
          4- I use MyFlow extension to take some nots while I using Opera Touch on my phone, does Opera GX also support this?
          And
          5- Is there any problem with Opera GX that makes it hard to use, if I'll lose my data on Opera browser I don't wanna do it for nothing.

          I've read topics about Opera GX on the forum, it seems it has some problems such as being out of sync, lagging, slow performance, crashing etc. Is it true?
          Thanks.

            @satanx opera GX does support myflow, i do also believe that your data profile will transfer over since you are using opera, opera GX does not have instagram sidebar atm, as far as workspaces i'm not too advanced with it, but im sure if you experiment with it i am pretty sure it would, and no opera gx is not hard to use, as a fact its very simple, you can just add things to it, you have a GX corner that is basically for game deals and such. you are right it is a beta version practically it does have some problems but i am sure in later updates problems like that will be fixed, all in all i would mostly prefer opera gx, its safe, secure, you can have a built in vpn, ad-blocker that works extremely well, all in all opera gx is a very satisfying browser apart from its problems.

              1 ) You should be able to just copy the content of your current Opera profile directory and paste into GX profile directory. You can also use Sync

              2 ) Yes, it does

              3 ) Yes

              4 ) Yes

                1.How can I import passwords from chrome? The import over the settings does not work. I have also set the password flag.
                2. Is it possible to login with google account to sync passwords and history?

                  @mraerozz Enable opera://flags/#PasswordImport and import the passwords using the password manager.

                      Hello all, I just started using OGX and am wondering if there is any option to set www.startpage.com as the default for handling searches in the URL bar?

                              Question 1: Is Opera GX owned by Google?

                              Question 2: Does Opera GX track you like Google

                                @googlechromefan No, and no. There are some options to allow some tracking for either statistical purposes (which features most people actually use) or to tailor the (optional) news to your interest, but they are easy enough to turn off.

                                      How many users does GX have? is there a website to check?

                                      All websites just show ''Opera''

                                        @anothermemberofsociety Opera could tell you number of downloads but that can't tell you if they uninstalled it and went back to their old browser. Some sort of survey would be required.
