Setting Pin/Shortcut
-

I would like to request a feature that allows certain settings—such as hardware (graphics) acceleration—to be pinned for quick access, for example to the taskbar or a similar easily reachable location.
The reason for this request is that I occasionally experience freezes in Opera GX when graphics acceleration is enabled. Currently, the only reliable way to recover is to fully close the browser, reopen it, and then close the window that caused the freeze.
While resolving the underlying freeze issue would of course be ideal, having quick access to toggle this setting would still be very helpful. I personally disable graphics acceleration from time to time, so a more convenient way to reach that option would improve the overall experience.
Thank you for considering this suggestion. -

Great suggestion - I have the same freeze in GX.
I support this Pinning hardware acceleration and maybe other toggles like VPN, Battery saver RGX) to Sidebar or Quick Access would be huge for troubleshooting.
workaround I use until they add it
- opera://settings /system = bookmark it then right -click bookmark - Add to speed Dial - 1 click access.
- or create a desktop shortcut: Right-click desktop - New shortcut - paste: "C: \User's%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Program\Opera GX\opera.exe"--disable-gpu-Use this to launch when frozen.
- You can also toggle quickly via Ctrl+shift+Del-- close the heavy tab first, then disable.
But yeah native Pin/shortcut like you described would be much clearer opera team should add a 'Pinned Settings' section in Quick Settings (top right).
+1 from me
