Goto URL opera://settings/startPage. You'll see a suggestions option that you can disable (among other things).

Goto the URL opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs, disable the flag, and restart Opera.

Test this solution. Remove the Opera Safe Store password from Keychain Access login item.

Steps:

Open Keychain Access application

Choose 'login' keychain on left

Choose 'Password' group

Find 'Opera Safe Storage' entry, right click it and choose Delete.

You can goto https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/?tag=animated and install one of the animated wallpapers. Then, in Opera, goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "profile" path. Then, close Opera and look in the "themes" folder in the profile folder.

You'll see the folder for the wallpaper you installed. In it, you can see how to create your own. You then just zip up your persona.ini file with the webm file and thumbnail and you 'll have your custom wallpaper.

Things you can try:

Goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "profile" path. Then, close Opera and delete the WidevineCDM folder in the profile folder.

Then, start Opera, goto the URL opera://components, click "update" for Widevine, let it update, and restart Opera.

Then, start Opera and goto https://html5test.com/ and make sure it shows "yes" for h.264 support and "yes" for aac support.

Once that's good, goto https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm, make sure it says "Using Widevine" above the video and "Widevine" for EME below the video, and "video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42c00d" for MSE below the video. And, make sure the video plays and you can hear its audio.

Then, goto the URL opera://settings/siteData, type spotify.com in the search-cookies field and choose "remove all shown".

Then, goto https://open.spotify.com/ in a new tab, log in, and try to play some music.

If you still have problems, goto the URL opera://flags/#reduce-user-agent, enable the flag, restart Opera, and try again.

If you still have problems, goto the URL opera://settings/system, disable hardware acceleration, restart Opera, and try again.

If you still have problems, goto the URL opera://extensions, disable all your extensions, and restart Opera.

If you still ahve problems, make sure you're not using Opera's VPN, and try turning off Opera's Adblocking and tracking protection.

If you still have problems, try all of the above with a standalone installation.

You can also goto the URL opera://settings/content/protectedContent, and make sure "Sites can play protected content" and "Sites can use identifiers to play protected content" are set with no sites in the custom behaviors list.

In the Opera program files directory, right-click on launcher.exe to create a new shortcut and place it on your desktop. Then, on the desktop, rename it what you want. Then, right-click on the shortcut, goto properties and then the "shortcut" tab. On that tab, modify the target to add the --user-data-dir command-line switch.

For example:

"C:\Program Files (X86)\Opera\launcher.exe" "--user-data-dir=C:\Users\yourusername\Opera2"

(I personally have a "My Program Files" folder in "C:\Users\myusername", so I'd use "C:\Users\myusername\My Program Files\Opera2" for example.)

You can create as many shortcuts as you want with each using a different profile folder.

See http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/#user-data-dir for more info.

Log into https://gemini.google.com/app in a tab.

Then, enable the "Custom user sites for browser sidebar" flag at the URL opera://flags/#sidebar-site-panel, restart Opera, click the 3 dots at the bottom of the sidebar, scroll down to Custom Site Panels and add https://gemini.google.com/app.

As an alternative for now, note that you can enable the "Custom user sites for browser sidebar" flag at the URL opera://flags/#sidebar-site-panel, restart Opera, click the 3 dots at the bottom of the sidebar, scroll down to "Custom Site Panels" and add the URL for the web app you want (https://bsky.app/ for example).

You can't customize the icon for it in the sidebar and you can change its position, but it's something for now.

If you have any trouble logging in to the site in the sidebar, you can log in via a regular tab first and then reload the sidebar.

Goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "profile" path. Close down Opera and delete the WidevineCDM folder in the profile folder. Then, start Opera, goto opera://components and try updating Widevine again.

You might want to make sure opera://flags/#new-component-update-mechanism is disabled too. It should be by default, but check that URL just in case.

Are you talking about the start page button that's missing on the left side of the address bar in Opera One builds?

When I translate that text, I get:

Out of memory

The Opera browser does not have enough memory, or the process for this page was terminated for some other reason.

To continue, refresh this page or open another one.

Is that correct?

@mtopek said in [Request] Official Flatpak support for Opera browser on Linux:

Flathub Opera is still 130 version

Sometimes the scripts fail to detect and update the package and you have to file an issue at https://github.com/flathub/com.opera.Opera/issues to let the maintainer know so he can fix it.

See https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/linux_libffmpeg_config/. You have to create the "lib_extra" folder in Opera's install folder and put a libffmpeg.so in it that's compatible with the major version of Chromium Opera is currently using, which is 147 for Opera 131.

You normally get the libffmpeg.so from https://github.com/Ld-Hagen/fix-opera-linux-ffmpeg-widevine/releases, but it doesn't have one for Chromium 147 yet. There is one in the linux x64 zip file in assets at https://github.com/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases/tag/0.110.1 though. There's also one in the 147 folder at https://1drv.ms/u/s!AhAFddP4jtR1gWou3XWpQbFIlrFB?e=3WcvzX. Whatever one you download, make sure it's named exactly libffmpeg.so in the lib_extra folder.

When Opera updates to 132 where it then uses Chromium 148, you'll replace that libffmpeg.so with a new one that's compatible with Chromium 148.

Note that sometimes, the libffmpeg.so that's compatible with the major version of Chromium 1 higher than what Opera uses will still work fine, but don't assume so. Try to find a match first.

Goto the URL opera://settings/content/siteData, make sure the default behavior is set to "Allow sites to save data on your device" and make sure all the customized behavior lists are empty. Then, goto the URL opera://settings/cookies, make sure it's set to "Allow third-party cookies" and make sure the allow list is empty.

Then, goto the URL opera://settings/content/all, type google.com in the search field and click "Delete displayed data".

Then, goto the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData and clear "Cached images and files" for all time.

Then log in to Google and try things. If things work fine, restart Opera and make sure they still work fine. If not, there are other things we can try.

By default on your Lenovo, as said, you need to hold down FN when you hit an F key to trigger an the F key's function instead of the special Lenovo function. Or, if you want, you can disable that in your BIOS where F keys work normally and you have to hold down FN when pressing an F key to trigger Lenovo functions.

I prefer the latter.

As a workaround for now, you might search for an extension that adds target="_blank" to links on pages so that they open up in new tabs when left-clicking. Something like https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/open-link-in-new-tab/iioibkhaekicggaepeaoilaocmebhpgj might work, but I didn't test it.

@leocg The option is currently missing because Chromium changed the dialog and Opera has to redo things to work with the new dialog. Opera is working on it.

@Stealthlink67 After you disable your adblockers, you often need to clear cookies for youtube.com and google.com. Then, clear your cache.

@Urby938 I would test in Chrome to see if that command-line switch still works.

@sklunk Yeah, that's always been annoying. It just does simple alphabetical sorting and doesn't handle build numbers well.
