@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

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.
@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
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
@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::
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.browser.beta
Opera browser beta 46.0.2246.126895
@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.
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
I appreciate the link, however the images on Google Play do not adequately show an entire filled Speed Dial page...I ask this because there are so many complaints here about the icon size on O44's Speed Dial page.

@burnout426 said in Default search engine resetting on reboot:
Any other settings resetting on you? Are you getting logged out of sites too?
Just with a reboot of Windows or will a restart of Opera cause it too?
Every time I open Opera (latest version), it asks (again) if I want Opera to be the default browser. Tedious
If I go to Settings/Default Browser, clicking the "Make Default" - nothing changes, under the "Default browser" it continues to say, "Make Opera the default browser."
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."
@roninator2 I set Google's setting for insecure content as allowed (as instructed in the link I posted here) and the download works fine.
The setting will then work for all Google image downloads.
@roninator2 Not disagreeing with you, but have you tried the method described in the posting I link I gave you. Just asking.
@roninator2 said in Save image not working:
The issue is not resolved yet (short of uninstalling and reinstalling - I haven't tested that yet).
However to work around this you can simply rename the downloaded file to remove the opera extension and the file will work correctly. The you can cancel the download in Opera.
@burnout426 Thank you, burnout, you are brilliant. Works perfectly, and solves my longstanding issue.
@leocg Yes, I AM using O 81.0.4196.31, and I get the same result as you, unless I copy the link address and paste in the address box (even in the same window as the catalog). Then and only then will the download window pop up as per usual.
@leocg Thanks Leo, how strange because the same thing happens on the Microsoft update catalog page::
https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=2021-08 windows 7
If you left click on the "Download" button to the right of any line, another box opens that has a link in it that points to a download file that will update your Windows OS, which if clicked will not download that file. And as I said previously, if you copy that link address and paste it into a new Opera window, it WILL then download the file. It has taken me 4 months to figure out this workaround, but now that you've explained it, I understand. Is there any Opera workaround so that it will work normally - for instance to change a https site to a http one?
This happens on a few web sites (including a Microsoft catalog site), try this one::
https://www.limetorrents.pro/browse-torrents/Movies/
...to the left of any of the movie torrents is a down arrow which if clicked should pop up a download window so you can download the file it is pointing to. In the past, this worked in Opera with just a left click, but not so in the last few iterations of Opera.
BUT, if you right click on that down arrow and "copy link address" and then "paste and go" it in the address bar, the download window will pop up (as it should have when you left click it) and you can then download that file.
What has happened to make this occur in Opera?
@donq said in Delay When Switching Tabs:
@bbildman
No delay here (on different W10 versions, using Opera development version on both). But - because W7 is not very supported anymore, some glitches may appear; from your description this can be related either to disk speed (if you have older, spinning HDD), third-party antivirus or some graphic driver problem.Have you tried switchig tabs with Opera extensions disabled? They may interfere too.
I thank you for your input, I've tried disabling my extensions, doesn't seem to make any difference. What does seem to make a difference though is closing O down (and making sure the tabs that were open reboot on opening), and then reopening it. The delay is pretty much gone, but over time the delay reappears.
