@sgunhouse said in Cannot Sync Speed Dials in Opera, So why sign in or keep account?:

@tuffkitten Your other devices are there, and you can see them if you want to just Select all and then Paste.

The idea was that you may not want ALL your speed dials on a work computer or phone, or likewise all you work speed dials on your personal laptop or phone.

I'm tired of hearing this. No one knows the real reason why Opera has chosen not to sync speed dials.

Like me, I'm sure there is lots of people that have a desktop Opera and a laptop Opera. Heck yeah I want them to sync. Fortunately I do know how to make them the same. And thank fully I rarely change my speed dial.

How to restart opera?

Type this in your address bar: opera://restart and hit enter.

I'm constantly finding myself duplicating tabs.

Would love a keyboard shortcut to make this
go faster.

Can the sidebar be placed on the right side of the screen?

@browzer1 said in How to change your browser ID within Opera:

@rif ... Does this not change the Opera "statistics" on web browsing? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

Yes, it does affect the usage stats. If a user can access a site by changing the browser ID, it's a good thing for him in gaining access to the site... but it's not a good thing for Opera's market share stats. The ideal would be for websites to respect and operate properly with Opera's genuine user-agent string or respond to user complaints if they don't. But all too often, that's not how the online world seems to operate...

Exactly. Ever try to email a big company such as Hulu and tell them the site works in Opera but you have us blocked for some reason.

It's a very old discussion but basically most people prefer to have different Speed Dials for home, work, etc.

I wish we could do a poll on this. I want the same speed dial myself on my devices. Why not just have a flag for sync speed dial yes|no.

Try this...
Open a new tab
Open a 2nd new tab and go to a website
Go back to the first tab. Is it empty?

Mine is.

Win 8.1, Opera 54.xxx

I'm sure we've all run across sites that "Don't work" in Opera. Usually (But not always) because of the browser ID string.

Well I just signed up for Hulu and it wouldn't work in Opera so no big deal, it worked in Chrome and I was happy.

I mentioned this to my daughter and she said she got it to work in Opera! I was pleasantly shocked. I guess
she's more tech savvy then I realized!

Here's how

1. Right click on page and choose "Inspect element."
2. Click 3 vertical dots in upper right corner, "More tools, Network conditions."
3. Uncheck "Select automatically.
4. Click on the box right below that and choose your Browser ID string.
5. Refresh the page you had trouble with! I use Shift-F5

She said she found this on a Reddit page.

I've been using 41.xxx version since my bookmark and speed dial is somehow corrupted and when it updates to 42.000 it doesn't work. See this thread: https://forums.opera.com/topic/18458/missing-speed-dial-41-xx-to-42-xxx/11

Today when I was paying bills I got a lot of certificate errors from Chase, local hospital bill pay site, and some others. I did let it update to 42.xxx and I was able to pay my bills at those sites.

But now I have no speeddial. Or I should say it doesn't display when I open new window. If I go to bookmarks and if I click on speeddial it displays.

As far as I can tell there is no "Enabled" setting for Speed Dial. There is only these options...

Show Speed Dial suggestions
Adjust Speed Dial animations for slower hardware

I did try clicking these on or off to no avail.

Here is what I see when I click on new tab: http://imgur.com/U7nqsUk
Note that's also what I see when I click on "Show all Bookmarks." Ctrl-Shift-B

When I click Menu, Bookmarks, I see most of my bookmarks. The ones that are missing are the ones that used to be under "Unsorted Bookmarks" which was at the top.

Here's another thing that isn't working correctly also. I can't save a bookmark to where I want. When I click on the heart, this is what I see: http://imgur.com/GXYlwv0

Going to try to install a new copy and then try to sync it and see what happens.

@leocg said in Can't connect to Flow:

@logojk Try using www.opera.com/connect to connect.

Haven't been here in awhile and thought I would check it out and find a solution for Flow not staying connected for me.

Did a search on "flow" for the past 6 months and there is just a ton of bug reports on it.

For me, Flow is always on and working on my phone. But every time I go to the desktop its not connected. So I thought I would try what you suggested (Pretty sure I've done this in the past with no success).

So I went to opera.com/connect on my desktop and connected right up no problem. Then went to right to Flow on the desktop and its not connected!

So I had to scan the QR code again from the Flow dialog to connect. And it does and now I can access Flow on the Desktop. But it won't last, in a day, week, month, etc I will try and put something into Flow on my phone and then check the desktop and will have to reconnect.

How to get to Aria Compose or Refiner window?

How do I get to either of these windows?

I'm an active member of chess.com but I get an error on trying to access this in the left side panel.

@leocg said in Created a search but doesn't work:

@rif Did you check in opera://settings/searchEngines to see if everything is correct for that search engine?

How am I supposed to know if its correct or not. I assume its not correct as its not working. I did look at it. My only option is to click the Post checkbox but when I do that it won't let you save it.

I've created a search at https://www.hockeydb.com by right clicking in the search box and creating the search.

My shortcut is h but whenever I do in the address bar "h soo greyhounds" it just brings me to a google results page searching on the term "h soo greyhounds."

Can anyone confirm or know of a fix?

This used to work for quite a few years but I haven't done a search here in a couple of years.

Not sure how many of you were using M2 last year when it stopped working with gmail and yahoo. I was one of those. I've used a couple of other mail programs since then and have been very unhappy with them.

So I took another look at why it wasn't working.

Gmail, I do have 2 step verification turned on. What you need to do is to generate an "App Password." This will be used by M2 to access your mail. You can find info here: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en

Yahoo mail. pretty much the same scenario, you have to generate a password for M2. https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN15241.html

So at the moment I'm hoping I can continue to use this for awhile.

I have no problems using usps.com

@teknomobil said in Cleaning list of synced opened tabs:

I finally solved the problem, the path to the file causing it is:
C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Local Storage

With Opera closed, I deleted this folder (Local Storage) and the problem was solved. If you have a similar problem, first backup this folder and then delete it.

Yay, this solved this problem for me also.

Works in Edge, IE, Chrome, Firefox

No I'm not going to make a plain jane Opera install to check this.

Damn, as a thought I went and turned off ad blocking and tracker blocking.
Come to find out I only needed to turn off tracker blocking.

I did go to chrome and typed in chrome://chrome-urls
and from that list I tried a few in Opera and I they worked.

I was just more curious about it then anything.
