@82ee said in Opera always opens URLs in Google/Searchengine:
all URLs that i enter in the adressbar (regardless of starting with "http(s)://", and or "www." or without any prefix) always opens google
Can you post an example of what you are trying? I think it depends on the TLD (top level domain) of your url. For example, as.as tried to load that page, but zx.zx searches for it. You can also notice the forum automatically formatted the former as a link (it wasn't me).
I tried to load a site by typing it without the www and it didn't work (blame the site, no worries), but when I add the www, Opera autopopulates the url in a strange way. Check this out:
As you can see, it's trying to load a url from the history, but displaying it wrong: what I typed + the internal path of the site, without the domain.
However, if I press <ENTER>, it works, but I think that's because I'm actually selecting the suggestion below, regardless of the issue with the address bar. But, if I click somewhere else, or go to another window and come back, when I press <ENTER> it fails due to the invalid url.
I guess that in order for you to reproduce this you will need to have visited a subpage of site which doesn't work with www and doesn't automatically redirect to www.domain. Link to my url.
I hope this makes sense. 
Looks fine here as well. Now only the date range issue remains. If there's no separate thread about it I will create it, as suggested by leocg.
What extension is the file? I can open .htm and .mth files without any problem.
@alobpreis said in The High CPU/RAM/GPU Usage Topic - Opera for Desktops:
This started maybe an hour ago. I noticed one of the opera.exe processes was using 25% of the CPU (4 cores), so I closed probably "heavy" pages, but nothing changed. Opened Opera's task manager, and only thing using the CPU is the browser itself with 100%. So I close Opera and that single opera.exe process remains in memory, still consuming 25%.
Without having updated Opera, this is not happening anymore, so I guess it was related to some Opera server as mentioned above or maybe a hidden internal extension.
@alobpreis said in HIstory date is incorrect:
Update:
Just confirmed, the issue is with negative timezones. With UTC, UTC+1, etc. everything works fine. I can even select from today to today in the filter. With UTC-1 all issues are back. Selecting "To March 1st", when you reopen the filter popup "Feb 27th" is selected.
I then moved the computer's date one day forward, the filter lets me select March 2nd, but when I do, March 1st is selected. After clicking on Done, the results belong to March 1st. If I open the filter again, no date appears selected, so I go back to February and I see the 28 is selected on both calendars. However, the dates on top still say "From: 2021-03-02 To: 2021-03-02" but however they still filter from and to March 1st.
It's weird, like if the timezone bug is occurring twice: once when selecting the date, and again when showing the (supposedly) selected dates when you re-open the date filter, so you actually get a 2 day difference overall. That's also why I was getting February 27th in my previous test.
I just tried the latest dev version (76.0.3989.0), and it still has the date range issue I explained here. The history itself, without filtering, looks good. Keep in mind my explanation above was written on March 2nd.

@jquartana I know that I look like a total jerk but I don't see any "instructions in search bar" when I copied and pasted and...do you copy and paste all three things (Install, Profile, Cache) or just Cache?
You have to copy the profile path, open Windows Explorer (which you use to browse folders, or when you open the "Documents" icon, for example), paste the path in the address bar above, and then you can delete those files (if you don't mind losing such data). You can try renaming them to see if that works. Remember Opera must be closed before doing this.
@ljfried said in Opera Won't Open:
@leocg sorry but I don't understand. I followed your instructions to get to Profile page but did not see anything about what "ftfire" posted - I mean deleting History, History Provider Cache, History-journal. Sorry if I'm doing something wrong. You are very nice to try to help me.
If you go to Help / About and scroll down a little bit, you will find your install, profile and cache folders.

@vilnai Yep, I see that too, they changed something today and Opera is currently useless. More reports here https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/m1gck6/am_i_the_only_one_whose_speed_dial_just_doesnt/
I found these other two posts about this issue:
https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/m1mh5m/opera_uses_an_insane_amount_of_cpu_on_startup/
https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/m1n52m/opera_started_using_too_much_ram_and_cpu/
Furthermore, lately it's been randomly using high amounts of CPU and starting to eat up RAM extremely fast, mostly on a Facebook tab. It just happened a minute ago, I closed Opera but all the processes remained, especially the one that was eating like 6 GB of RAM. I tried to kill it, it wouldn't let me, and seconds later finally most of the processes disappeared, except the 25% one I created this post for.
Here's a screenshot of what happens:
The first time was when after closing the processes remained, the second one fortunately Opera closed more quickly.
I left it open just to try, and after 20 minutes it stopped! So I took a leap of faith... closed Opera, opened it again, but no luck, the process is back at using 25% CPU... 
This started maybe an hour ago. I noticed one of the opera.exe processes was using 25% of the CPU (4 cores), so I closed probably "heavy" pages, but nothing changed. Opened Opera's task manager, and only thing using the CPU is the browser itself with 100%. So I close Opera and that single opera.exe process remains in memory, still consuming 25%.
I cannot open Opera again without killing that exe first. Every time I open the browser that process uses 25% and stays until I kill it. I disabled all extensions, closed all pages from my session and this is still happening. If I kill the process with Opera open, everything is shut down.
It's the most current version (74.0.3911.203), which has been running for some days now, so it's pretty strange. This is on Windows 7 x64 by the way.
I checked some other topics, I tried disabling the Cashback flag, but that didn't help.
For the record, I've been an Opera user for many many years and I don't recall this happening in the past.
Thanks!!

@alobpreis The issue with the day on history changing at UTC instead of in local time zone was fixed a while ago and everything seems to be working fine here.
Indeed, I'm aware and commented about that some months ago. I was just guessing that maybe the timezone problem is still present in the date filter and is causing this 1 day off issue.
Update:
Just confirmed, the issue is with negative timezones. With UTC, UTC+1, etc. everything works fine. I can even select from today to today in the filter. With UTC-1 all issues are back. Selecting "To March 1st", when you reopen the filter popup "Feb 27th" is selected.

@burnout426 Further details:
Now that it's March 2nd here, I can select March 1st, but selecting from and to March 1st returns no results.
If after this I click again on the range filter, the selected date on both calendars ir February 27th (!!). On top it still says: "From: 2021-03-01 To:
2021-03-01" though.
After a quick check, it seems the history alone seems right, I will confirm after a few days to be sure.
But there's still an issue with the date range. By default the date pickers show you today, but it seems the timezone bug is still there, as today is greyed out. As I'm in UTC -3 (the day change in history used to happen at 9pm), I think this happens because the calendar enables up to 9pm from the previous day.
If I go to Februrary and pick from 24th to 26th, it selects 23rd to 25th in the calendar (the dates are right at the top though).
I will also need some days to further test this, as I cannot select March 1st to test the date range filtering.
@tlord3690 When you say that Opera does it, is it just after opening the application, regardless of the page you are in??
That's weird. I suggest you try Opera portable to check if it's something specific to your installation or profile.
From what I see, only with an extension you could make Google dark. Does that happen in an incognito window too?
That sounds weird, why do you think Opera does that? Are you using a meeting app in Opera? That sounds like an automatic volume setting on the app itself, or maybe on your operating system or mike driver.
Working fine here. You should always first try in incognito mode, and then if necessary with a portable instance of Opera, so you can find out if it's something specific to your installation or profile.
