      Hello Opera developers, Thank you for the wonderful Opera browser, but I would like to know, I live in Tajikistan in Central Asia and I lost VPN in Opera as I found out Opera was removed for Russia, but why I don't have VPN in Tajikistan in Central Asia.

        @firuz-u7 Usually it's removed when the service is being blocked on the region.

          Hi. Can you please tell me how to force discards background tabs without closing it?
          If you wait for automatic unloading from memory, it's too long. The Flickr site can consume all the RAM (16 gigabytes) in a matter of seconds by opening 5-7 tabs.
          Some browsers have this feature by default and even have a hotkey.

          I know there is "opera://discards/", but it is too inconvenient for constant everyday use. I would like the tab to discard at the click of a button.

            I totally agree! Vivaldi does this very nicely, I know.

              @thortik: I use the "Tiny supender" chrome extension in "native mode" and also the "Sloth" extension, to further avoid reloading tabs at startup.

                  Hey, those are a couple of very nifty extensions ... thanks for the good tip! 🙂

                      I am just curious ... what do you think is most important about updating quickly? Security concerns -OR- something else? 🙂

                        Hello there! Could the developers add a feature to automatically sync all extensions to Opera, like Chrome does?

                          Sorry, but the fast tab tooltips are hideously annoying, yet there's no obvious way to disable the damned things 😞

                            @purplet It's not obvious, but goto the URL opera://flags/#fast-tab-tooltip, disable the flag, and restart Opera.

                            Whenever you can't find a setting for something, you can goto the URL opera:/flags to see if there's at least a flag for it. No guarantee that if there's a flag for something, the flag will stay there forever though.

                              Thanks for that. I really wish these things were more obvious.

                                  @drakostaarn It is useless to ask them about it. I already wrote to them about this many times, and not only me, always ignoring from the developers. Opera does not find this feature useful. The only browser where there is still no extension synchronization, despite the fact that it has been on the Chrome engine for several years.

                                    which version is the stable one ?
                                    since the last update ( 81.0.4196.31 / ubuntu 20.04 ) :

                                    • many video are no longer playing ( e.g. twitter )

                                    • the "copy image" feature is no longer by reference when possible ( this also happened to firefox and chrome recently, so I guess it may come from a side library, at least on linux ). So I can no longer post, or even save as draft, my daily newsletter ( rich in web images ).

                                    • the ultra-annoying bug ( present in previous version ) that makes Opera window popup on mouse flyover is still there. With 2 windows, this can even leads to a war between the 2 windows.

                                          @purplet: Could you say what annoys you about them? Just the fact that they appear and you don't like them, or is it that they don't disappear fast enough (they're in the way), or is there another annoyance you have?

                                            @hwpc48 : .31 is what I get when I go on the current opera download page, and what I got at the last auto-update.
