@burnout426 thank you for the advice!
It seems to do some of the work... but still it's far from perfect and far from the original behavior..
it's a shame that opera removed such a strong tool that is built in chromium by default....
i hope opera's dev team is listening and are willing at least give us the option to "flag" it back in.
BTW. the flags options still exist but the do nothing:
- #enable-lens-overlay
- #enable-lens-overlay-image-context-menu-actions
- #enable-lens-overlay-simplified-selection
and more...
