      I have super annoying sync issues with Opera on my devices (2x Win 11 and 1x Android)

      Both my Win devices keep logging me out or forgetting my log-in. Almost every time I open Opera I have to go to "Turn on synchronization" and if I want to use Flow I also have to log in there, it even logs me out multiple time during a single session.

      I notice that things aren't even synced properly, if I've visited a certain page on one device there is no history of that page on my other devices. Passwords aren't synced either.

      It's like as if some setting is read only and Opera refuses to update it. Do you have any tips on where to look?

        @mrghoc Flow appears to only want to work with two devices. If you add any more, you get a block and can "kind of" get around it by going to opera.com/connect, but eventually you only have two configurations that stick and talk to each other. I have four devices (Windows, Linux, 2 Android) and got into a round robin mess where where messages flowed but it was never to more than one other device. This appears to be a major limitation with Opera and I may have to look elsewhere to more consistently share topics between devices (Microsoft Edge works great, but I don't like being on their browser). Good luck.

          @drmantech Both Sync and Flow seems to be messy with Opera. Every time I open Opera it asks me if I want to back up my browser which obviously is super annoying.

          Opera also syncs old passwords over new passwords which also is super annoying 😵

          I don't want to use any other browser but maybe I'll have to if I don't find a solution ☹️
