@leocg You say, "For me, bookmarks should have been removed from browsers a long time ago and I've been saying it since a while.
They simply don't make that much sense nowadays "

Disagree with you, Leo. I have MANY arcane bookmarks that took me a long time to discover that involved MUCH searching. To abandon those bookmarks would be a kind of browser suicide for me. Who wants to try to retrace the steps I took to have found those sites in the first place, much work went into finding them

@alexs said in Where is the "Recently closed tabs/Tab menu" button on the top right?:

@bbildman I know, see my post above with the extension
Undo Closed Tabs Button
https://addons.opera.com/de/extensions/details/undo-closed-tabs-button/
or
SimpleUndoClose
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/simpleundoclose/emhohdghchmjepmigjojkehidlielknj

Although your extension works, it takes up more real estate on the extensions bar, if the enabled opera://flags/#search-in-closed-tabs would simply show more than 3 of the closed tabs, we'd be back where we were, with the little search icon replacing the old icon that we used to see recently closed tabs from O69 and before. Not sure why developers are being so obstinate in allowing a user to enable this former way to see closed tabs.

Is it just me, or is the normal wonderful popup that appears when you roll the cursor over text that says "Search/Copy/Snapshot." I Hope this is not the case because this was a great addition when it was added many iterations ago. I hope this is just either a glitch or a switch that can be enabled...Please.

I find it works on Some web sites and not others, for instance Amazon pages do not seem to allow the popup - here on This site, it works as advertised

Help, and thanks

@alexs opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs is now gone, and the icon in the upper right of the toolbar is no longer available in O70. No matter that so many have lamented about this, they still removed it without a remedy to enable it like we had in O69. Sucks

In Google Chrome, if you want to find where a bookmark is you can::

"On Chromium, when searching for a bookmark in the bookmark manager, you can click the 3-dots next to the search result and click "Show in folder" to reveal where it was saved"

It would be nice if Opera could do this; otherwise it's difficult to find where a bookmark is within all of your bookmarks, especially if you have many bookmarks.

Unless, I am missing something in the current Opera, adding this option might be a "plus."

@jtgd At the end of the day, I do not believe Touch is meant to REPLACE Opera Browser for Andorid, but to rather supplement it for those who want this kind of Web browser. For me, I will stick to the BROWSER, it's seems that Opera Browswer (Android) is still being developed, I see forum posts about O46 Beta etc. - so there will be updates to our current OBFA

The Beta Version is available on Google Play::

Opera browser beta 46.0.2246.126895

PULEASE!!!

@azotovant said in Where are the bookmarks.:

I've submitted a comment in this topic and it haven't been posted for some reason. Can someone explain why the Bookmarks were removed from the new browser? It seems to me that just saying that it's not relevant anymore is not a good answer. I've been using Opera for a very long time and I would like to use Opera Touch but I would like to have Bookmarks feature available and easy to access. Otherwise I'm not using it, staying on the old version or switching to other alternatives, which are plenty out there.

Not sure, but Touch does not mean the end of the development of Opera Browser for Android. Personally I have no plans to install Touch and will continue with the normal Android Opera Browser, which has served me well.

Snapshot now is better...and but you have to add the ability to save it in different formats and also to be able to save it in a folder that is remembered just like downloads are saved. Saving it to the desktop as a default is not efficient if I have to change it every time I take a snapshot

The desktop is the place where the Snapshot Capture saves its "png" files...rather than my already specified download location. Is this an oversight?? Bug?? It's a hassle to have to go and find my assigned download location each time I save a Snapshot image

Or is there a way to set the download location for Snapshot Capture image??

Thanks

@daria19 Here's the 2 different images, the first is the wallpaper screen the way I had it in the previous version that I updated from (But as you can see - the background colors of the Speed Dials Now are almost imperceptible).

Second image is the way I managed to change the wallpaper and the resulting Speed Dial icon background color is black...the way it was in the previous version I updated from

.

In the past, when I updated Opera, the opening page with Speed Dials remains the same, so I was shocked to see the almost transparent Speed Dial icons.

I notice the Speed Dial icon backgrounds have changed a couple of times in the last few iterations, is there any way to get back the black backgrounds, instead of the new transparent one in the current version 116.0.5366.71?

@leocg said in Slow Google Search When Using The Address Bar:

@bbildman The same happens on a private window?

Hi Leo, with the advent of Opera One(version: 115.0.5322.77), the slow Google searches seems to have been corrected. Now all seems to be as it should be, thanks to you and burnout for y'all's help.

@bbildman said in Need Info About Opera Stable Folder:

What are the SSDFP files?

Not really sure. I don't think I see any in my profile folders. Looking it up, I guess it stands for site-specific digital fingerprinting data, but couldn't really find more info than that.

Because we can find a LOT of those in both Opera Stable and Default folders. Just askin'

@burnout426 What are the SSDFP files? (By the way, I appreciate all the help you and leo give me, sure helps)

@leocg So...in that profile directory there are some other files and folders besides the "Default" folder. The "Default" named folder is quite huge (some 1.4 GB or so) and contains replica named folders and files that also reside in its parent directory, Opera Stable.

Am I to assume ALL the files and folders in the Opera Stable directory except "Default" are also necessary (besides "Default") for Opera One to operate?

Am I making myself clear??

@leocg Talking about the profile directory; I already knew about the old version number folders in the install directory

I am on a Windows 10 laptop; the Opera Stable folder has in total some 1.41 GB of files. The default folder has about 1.21 GB of files. The Opera Stable directory minus the default folder, has about 226 MB in it. So...my question is this::

I have auto update disabled, and when a new version of Opera becomes available, I always copy the Opera and the Opera Stable folders to another location before I install the newest Opera over the current one. Are ALL of the files and folders (besides the default folder) needed when a new install is performed??

Thanks (sorry for being so long winded.

@leocg said in Slow Google Search:

@bbildman Did a search here and the results page loaded almost instantly.

Of interest, I have discovered something interesting in regards to slow searches. If I use my text cursor to mark a word phrase to search for, and the little dark "Search/Copy/Snapshot" thingee pops up, and do the search from THAT "Search," the search takes a while, and while THAT is transpiring I go back to the search term page and right click it and do the search from the right click menu, the search happens instantaneously, even as the first search is trying to finish ITS search!!!

Any ideas, besides to always do the search from the Opera right click menu?
