@jaym12 So you are saying that you can open all those sites with any browser except Opera? At least they work just fine to me.
You can try disabling the ad blocking, or a private window, or a portable installation of Opera to test without any relation to your current installation/profile.

@kimkorton Were you able to solve it?

My Opera started having this ugly behavior a few weeks ago. A few times every couple of hours, when clicking something in a web page, it just keeps loading forever, or perhaps the home page itself never finishes loading at all.
Sometimes stopping and reloading the page works, sometimes a new tab does, and sometimes an incognito window does.
At first I thought it was my ISP, but then I tried other browsers and they work just fine.
Unfortunately it's not easy to replicate: it's like if at some point Opera just gets tired and doesn't want to load anything for several seconds.
I disabled the very few extensions I have but the problem remains.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thank you, burnout426! I edited the Preferences file and removed the whole commands section, and that solved the issue. Although I see that someone else also recommends just changing all these shortcuts to global: false.

@leocg said in Youtube not working properly in Opera browser:

And what is the problem?

I guess he's referring to those huge white icons...

I cannot begin to fathom how this severe issue hasn't been solved in years... Only the day cutoff was fixed (e.g. day changing at 9pm), but not the 1 day off.

I totally agree. Having this middle ground setting of loading some pages at the discretion of the browser is not useful to me. It has all the drawbacks minato just mentioned above. I'd rather have the old classic behavior. It's not like loading a page takes that long and I'm not willing to wait 2 seconds if I go to a yet-not-loaded tab. But I do dislike having the browser use a lot of resources each time I open it. That makes me use another browser if I need to just quickly check an url.

Furthermore, each time all these background pages are reloaded, their all come up in the history list, like if I really visited them right now, which was never my intention. It's like corrupting the browser's history, making pages be in the wrong date.

And any other browser works just fine with the same pages? It looks like an issue with the graphics card driver. If other browsers work ok, you can try downloading Opera Portable and check if the issue occurs there.

I have never used any of those extensions, I find them totally unnecessary.

Just add "pp" after youtube in the url and it will take you to y2mate, one of the many sites that lets you download the video. For example, www.youtubepp.com/watch?v=<video_id>.

Well, I just upgraded to 69.0.3686.57 and something was fixed... Now the day changes at midnight, but there's still something wrong: now it's one day off! For example, urls from today, Monday 13th, appear as "Today Sunday 12". I hope version 70 fixes this completely...

At least now it's a bit easier to know which day each history entry belongs to.

Great, that did the trick. Thanks! For some reason I didn't think this configuration could be among the experimental flags. I wonder if this setting is temporary and in the future it will be impossible to undo this...

@gamma-x3d said in is there any way to get date format as DD.MM.YYYY.?:

is there any way to get Opera to show date format as DD.MM.YYYY.?

Where??
The date format is typically handled by the web site, and it should use either the system format, or else one determined (i.e. "forced") by the very site.

@prseo2070 said in [Spam?](My?)page in sites.google.com doesn't load correctly:

The site is: https://sites.google.com/view/right-firm-you1need/home

The site loads fine here.
Just to be clear: does the site load fine with any other browser on the same computer? What about a private window? Or Opera Portable (installed in a standalone folder)?
Are you using any VPN or special DNS servers?

@Inquiro said in After update, History not allowing "Today":

Thank you, that worked! Can you give me some idea as to other consequences of disabling that flag? Thanks.

You just don't have the new design of the history page.
You can check the previous posts in this thread about this matter.

@Inquiro Did you try disabling the #history-redesign flag? I've done that a few weeks ago and it works fine so far.

@Franz5157 All bookmarks are stored in C:\Users\<your_user>\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Default\Bookmarks (extensionless file), and the Speed Dial ones (I guess that's what you meant) is under the speedDial section in that file (JSON format). If you deleted it and don't have a backup or never synchronized it... I'd say your last hope if finding a Bookmarks.bak file in that Default folder.

@cchcyx463 I did some tests but I couldn't find a way to change the popup positions besides dragging it with the mouse. The position is stored somewhere but I couldn't find it.
I tried disabling and re-enabling it but the position wasn't reset.
opera://settings/videoPopout
Changing the browser window size didn't help. Did you at some point change the screen resolution or the font size in Windows to something like 125% or 150%? Or maybe did you use dual monitors?

If you open a private window, the popup should appear at the bottom right corner. If that works, it's just a matter of finding the window in some screen border or deleting the saved coordinates.

@frank-hol said in problem uploading pictures to x and facebook:

I go to upload a picture, but when I select the picture to upload, instead of it going directly to X or Facebook, it opens in File Explorer or my default picture viewer.

When I try to upload a picture, I get the ribbon at the bottom with recent images. If I open the full file browser, clicking on the file works just fine. The only way to make it do what you explain, is if I right click on the file and instead of the default Select I go to Open.

Does it happen on any other site? Or maybe are you dropping the file on the browser's tab?

@rttzizuhk said in Decrypting Login Data/Restoring Passwords:

Hi,
opera saved my passwords into their Login Data and yet it doesnt show under the "manage passwords" settings.

Which site exactly? Sometimes sites use another domain for authentication so it might appear under a different url.
Is it autocompleting the login textboxes?

Check out this thread, it might be the same cause.

@andrew84 said in After update, History not allowing "Today":

Here 'today' shows correctly in both Dev and Stable.

Sorry to revive this thread, but as it's still failing here, is by chance your timezone UTC or UTC+? Because the date bug in the classic History happened only with negative timezones, as I discovered here:
