@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.
Is it just me, or is the normal wonderful popup that appears when you roll the cursor over text that says "Search/Copy/Snapshot." I Hope this is not the case because this was a great addition when it was added many iterations ago. I hope this is just either a glitch or a switch that can be enabled...Please.
I find it works on Some web sites and not others, for instance Amazon pages do not seem to allow the popup - here on This site, it works as advertised
Help, and thanks
@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
@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
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
@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.
@Fajfel13 I think using the zoom feature will increase the size of the "miniatures" (icons).
And while they are working on fixing the color issue with Spee Dial icons, I sure as heck wish they would get rid of the atrocious purple private page colors.
@sgunhouse Thanks for your insight, it would be an upgrade to an already existing windows 7 Pro.
@leocg said in Windows 7 and Opera 96 & Beyond:
@bbildman For saved passwords you will need to use Sync to transfer to a different Opera installation. Another option would to export the passwords and import them in the new Opera
I would much prefer doing the export/import method, unless of course I could just copy my old profile data folder into the new one (emptied after install), in which case all passwords would simply be in there.
@burnout426 Ok, understood, and what I was expecting.
On another note (coming from someone who has had zero dealings with any Windows 10 computer), does W10 have an appdata folder where the Opera profile resides in like in W7??
Asking this because, I do not like using synchronization to import Opera's settings etc to a new install...I prefer simply to install Opera, delete the contents of the newly installed profile folder and copy the old contents from a external USB drive to the emptied profile folder. That way all my Opera settings/bookmarks/passwords etc are in there and when Opera boots from that new install (with previous profile data in emptied one) everything is as before.
I'm hoping that when I do a W10 in place update - up the road - that Opera will be copied over...but if not, I would want to just do a new install and do the "copy old profile data to new profile directory."
Which is why I ask what directory the Opera profile resides in on W10 and hoping my method as described above will work to restore my Opera on W10 to what it was on W7. That is unless Opera on W10 has different settings etc in a W10 Opera profile directory that are specific to W10.
Appreciate the help, and if you can help me with above, I would appreciates it. Moving/upgrading from one Windows version to a newer one has always been taxing, to say the least, especially when trying to get previous applications to move over.
@burnout426 said in Windows 7 and Opera 96 & Beyond:
@bbildman That's the plan.
If you're worried though, you can disable updates and manually update to a new v95 build when one comes out. That way, after the last 95 build, you don't have to worry about any mishaps on Opera's part breaking your installation.
Appreciate your help/insight, Burnout. I always make a backup of my Opera profile directory each time there is an update so I will always be able to - at least download the last working Opera and use that backed up profile directory.
However, as a curious soul, I am looking forward as to how Opera 96 will either update (or not) my Opera 95 on my Windows 7 system. And also if by chance Opera 96 does somehow work on Win 7, to see how it performs...same with Chrome 110.
There are some of us Window 7 users who have found a manual way to continue updating Windows 7 even after Microsoft told us that they would no longer send out updates automatically - been doing that for at least 1-2 years now and it has worked perfectly.
@leocg said in Windows 7 and Opera 96 & Beyond:
@bbildman As far as I know, Opera 96 will not work in Windows versions before 10.
So I assume this means that the auto-update function will not work and I won't have to worry about Opera inadvertently trying to update it on my system??
@leocg said in Windows 7 and Opera 96 & Beyond:
@bbildman See https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2023/01/opera-windows-7-8/
Opera 95 is the last one with support for Windows 7 and 8.1.
Thanks, Leo, for the reply...but the answer from you and Opera is ambiguous. Does that mean if you download it on your own, it will install (or not)?? Or does that mean if you can update after 95, Opera 96 and after, it simply means that it will install except it will not have the kind of security it had before 96?
Will I be able to download and update my Opera 95 to Opera 96 with a Windows 7 laptop - and if so, will the Opera 96 still run, albeit without security protections? Or will Opera 96 simply not install on a Windows 7 machine??
@leocg Leo, have any suggestions as to where to look and how to do it.
Couple sites that do that::
If there is a video playing at the top of the page, when I scroll down, that video now appears in a small window on the bottom right (on the same page), how do I disable this. I have turned off video pop out in settings, but obviously that does not apply to the pop out on the same page.
Help, thanks
@leocg Leo, please excuse me for posting this, seems I had javascript mistakenly turned off and of course the resulting empty page was the result.
Mea culpa!
