Hi everyone!

I’d like to suggest the addition of a flag in opera://flags (or a toggle in advanced settings) to disable the "Press Esc to exit full screen" overlay warning.

The Problem:
Whenever I switch to full screen (F11) to take a clean screenshot of a webpage, an interface, or a project, I have to wait for the warning prompt to slowly fade out before I can actually capture the screen. It breaks the workflow, causes unnecessary friction, and gets extremely repetitive.

The Proposed Solution:
I understand this warning is a Chromium-level security feature designed to prevent malicious sites from trapping users in full screen (UI spoofing). However, hiding a toggle deep in opera://flags would ensure that average users remain protected by default, while giving developers and power users the agency to opt out of the warning for a smoother UX.

For comparison, Firefox currently allows users to bypass this via about:config (setting full-screen-api.warning.timeout to 0).

Since Opera GX is heavily marketed toward power users and gamers who value deep customization and efficiency, giving us control over this intrusive popup would be a fantastic quality-of-life improvement.

Hi everyone,

I opened a request about this issue 15 days ago, but I haven’t received a response yet, so I’m posting again here in case someone can help.

I’m having a persistent issue with the Google AI Overview feature in Opera GX. The "Reply" button (the follow-up option) often doesn’t appear or disappears after a few searches. Clearing cache and cookies temporarily brings it back, but the problem returns shortly after.

It seems to happen specifically in Opera GX, and I don’t notice the same behavior in other browsers. Could this be related to the built-in Ad Blocker, Tracking Protection, or GX Control settings? If anyone has found a permanent fix or knows which setting might be causing this, I’d really appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance!

@Rozelle-ly Basically, it means the developer has completely stopped working on the extension. There won't be any new updates, bug fixes, or support.

To answer your question about what probably happened: since a lot of these extensions are free, solo side-projects, developers often just get busy with life or move on to other things and don't have the time to maintain them anymore.

The extension might still work for a bit, but as the browser gets updated over time, it will eventually break permanently since no one is around to update its code.

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing a persistent issue with the Google AI Overview feature in Opera GX. When I perform a search, the "Reply" button (or the interactive follow-up option) sometimes fails to appear or disappears after a few searches.

I have already tried clearing my cache, which brings the button back temporarily, but it vanishes again after just a couple of searches. This issue seems specific to Opera GX, as I didn't have this problem on other browsers.

Has anyone else encountered this? Could it be related to the built-in ad blocker or GX Control settings? Any tips on how to fix this permanently would be greatly appreciated!

I am a heavy user of Google Drive, and I rely on the keyboard shortcut sequence 'Alt' followed by 'C' to quickly create a new folder.

Currently, in Opera GX, pressing the 'Alt' key immediately triggers the browser menu in the top-left corner. This prevents me from completing the shortcut sequence for Google Drive, as the browser intercepts the 'Alt' key press before I can press 'C'.

It would be incredibly helpful if there were an option in the settings to disable the 'Alt' key from opening the browser menu. This would greatly improve my workflow and productivity while using web-based applications. Thank you for considering this improvement!
