Opera add-onsRE: FVD Speed Dial - New Tab Page
@richardschoots There's software that does it for you. You don't need to learn very much. If you don't want to take control of your stuff, then at least back it up with screen shots and the links so you can restore if the developer decides to pull the plug or it is removed from the app store or something happens to your device.

Opera for computersRE: UBS banking giant says Opera Browser not up to tech specs
@Born-in-Gva I don't know anyone who only has one browser installed on their device. Even my cell phone has like 5 different browsers on it.
Opera works great on 99.9% of websites. On the rest, I use a different browser. It doesn't mean you have to use that browser all the time, just when you log in to certain sites. You do not have to swear allegiance to those browsers. Just log in to your bank, do your business and log out and go back to your default browser.
I have this issue with my insurance company. I also have or had this problem with logging into the web UI for some of my newer surveillance cameras which is infuriating.
I also used to have another need to temporarily use Safari browser when I wanted to use ApplePay. That's no longer required but it used to be.

Opera for computersHow to change the URL of built-in search engines?
Hello. Does anyone know if there is there are way to change the URL that is used in the built in search engines? For example, I'm running into the dreaded problem of being stuck with the China version of Bing even though I'm nowhere near China. So I need to set the URL to https://www.bing.com/?cc=us
Even changing the setting in the microsoft account doesn't stick so I need to find a different way. The opera browser does have a bypass when you're using their VPN. I am using a different VPN which might explain partially why I am having this problem to begin with but it's not a China based VPN either. Thanks in advance I appreciate your help. -
Opera for computersRE: UBS banking giant says Opera Browser not up to tech specs
@Born-in-Gva Unforunately some website developers do a check before a website loads to check if it is the most popular browsers only because they only tested their website with those browsers. So it's not that the technical specifications are any better or any worse, just that they only did testing with certain browsers and so anything other than those browsers gets a blanket error message. There are add-ons/extensions you can add to change your user agent but I haven't had the best luck with those personally. That may be more to do with cookies being set already and not so much that the extension doesn't work.

Opera add-onsRE: FVD Speed Dial - New Tab Page
@nataskrad I think the simplest thing to use for this particular case of building a start page with thumbnail links, and it feels awkward recommending it on this forum, but it's been around forever and it's free and easy to learn on is Netscape Composer. Yes, that Netscape. I told you it was around forever, didn't I? Well you can still find it in SeaMonkey which is an open source mozilla based browser suite. I don't use it for web browsing but I do still have it for designing webpages in tables. Which is the old, old, old way of doing things but it still works and it's still compatible and is reliable. The only downside is it's not "responsive" for mobile browsers. For that you'd use a modern way of coding websites in CSS. But if you're just using the speed dial on desktop, totally fine. Just noticing now that I can add code to the forum posts in here. I'll insert some basic code for you to copy and paste into a new composer document or just any text editor and you can just replace the file names with your own files and change the links to where you want it to go. And it's only going to take a few minutes.
Should like like so...

Opera add-onsRE: FVD Speed Dial - New Tab Page
@richardschoots I've been developing websites since 1997 so I don't want to come across like everyone should automatically know how to do this but building a basic web page with thumbnails and links to your favorite websites is like the easiest project one could do. It's like the homework assignment after week 2 of a web design class. And you can customize it just as nice as FVD if not nicer. Mine happens to look the same as FVD only when you hover over the thumbnails it glows. Nothing earth shattering about that, just that is one of the many finishing touches you can do. Then you totally own your content. It's yours forever, nobody is ever going to take it away from you and if you got a web server or web hosting account to throw it up at, it's already synchronized anywhere you want to access it. And password protect the directory. There is literally no reason whatsoever to use any speed dial. None. I can't think of a single reason. FVD is dead to me. I'm embarrassed about how lazy I was for not building my own speed dial sooner especially with the permissions granted to third party extensions.
