@leocg Thanks I guess. I do realize that I type big fat walls of text with no separation and for that I apologize. But i'm gonna be honest here. I will never break my typing down to bite sized piece because when I typed it....I had no plans to go back for proofreading. Not cause I am mean or anything. But...I'm not an editor. Just casually typing. And I very rarely have problems with tech that I feel I should write about it. But when I do I just write. And if anyone wants to read that....its their choice. Not an obligation. I have never had a problem reading words so thats how I type. But I will never ask a person to change their vernacular or how they type because it makes it easy for me. If it was my job it would be different. I will add that I appreciate how you talk to people. You mentioned it like a tip of advice. Most of the time people demand a request like that. You are a kind individual. In opera://sync-internals/, there is a board on the right that should show you if sync is working in that installation. Yeah there is. But my sync only sees 1 open tab and one device despite my 106 tabs and 8 devices. I have been on a computer since win 95. I write in 10 programming languages and I build custom computers for a living and repair them down to the component level. I am not saying I am an expert in the field. But I am confident when I say sync is broken. For me it is anyway. I don't even need them to fix it. Only reason I wrote is because it would be nice if they did. Its my favorite browser. But I won't die from it. I am really raw in how I talk so it may come across as mean or something. I am just really blunt is all. I don't sugar coat ever. I say what I think and move on. I won't have a problem adapting to this. If fact I wrote a script to keep track of my open tabs on all my browsers so that I can open them in any browser with a click. Now to get it to work on all my devices cause it only works on my laptop. Sometimes a piece of software works perfectly fine for all except that small handful that have a particular set of hardware or maybe software that causes issues for another software. Opera sync might be victim to that. Who knows. I won't die. I changed to Chrome this weekend and still have been using Opera despite that. Humans do weird things sometimes

@leocg I tried that. But it doesn't work. I spent about an hour googling and trying different things that others posted because I am not the only one having this issue. Thanks for the suggestion though. I appreciate it. These days companies don't help me. The community does. Sometimes anyway. There are some freaking mean people in the online communities that basically treat you like a moron because you asked a question despite them not being obligated to help. They respond as if you are forcing them to help you. So I totally appreciate your suggestion cause you didn't have to comment. Thank you for that. I mentioned in my post that I have 106 tabs open. But when I sign in top the Opera page it says it sees only 1 tab and one device despite me having 106 open and 8 devices all logged in to Opera and set to sync. But it took less than 5 mins to transfer over to google chrome. And I didn't have to sync a single thing. The moment I logged in all devices were synced. I know sync works because it used to work for me. Not sure what happened. And I am sure I can research it and diagnose the problem with trial and error and testing and what not. But I am the end user. I just wanted a working browser. I only get the weekends off. I don't want to waste time diagnosing my browser. You know what I mean? I don't hate Opera. Its my favorite browser. But I will use Google till they fix this if they ever do. I hope they do. Cause chrome works great. But I don't trust Google. I have to search with DuckDuckGo to get untailored non-bias search results.

Goto the URL opera://flags/#PasswordImport

Who in the world would think "Gee...I'm pretty sure to load this file that i gotta goto the URL opera://flags/#PasswordImport."

Like....why would you not just have a button in the settings that simply says something like "Import". Why make the user do all that work just to load a file??? WTF??? I would think that it would have transferred passwords when I clicked "Export Bookmarks and settings" but there is a separate export for password files. I am done with Opera. It always makes me have to Google how to do simple things in Opera browser and it never syncs with any of my other devices. Google chrome does this by default once you log in. All passwords are linked and will auto fill sites I visit on other devices. There may even be a feature that will open tabs across all your devices. I have read about that feature but never seen it with my own eyes. Opera has sucked lately and I don't know if its a money thing or if the pandemic caused issues but Opera sucks now. It won't sync so I gotta manually transfer all of my browser data from my laptop to my new desktop by hand. I can't just login like with Google Chrome. I am logged in on every Opera device and its still not syncing nothing. Google Chrome does it in its sleep. Opera is prettier. But the other browsers all actually work. This one does not and hides settings. I had to google how to log in from browser and google how to export password files and google how to import password files. All things that should be clear in the settings menu under something like "Login to opera" option and a "Import/Expoort" option that when pressed it will import importable files.....that would be easy. What in the world would make a user imagine that they might have to type opera://flags/#PasswordImport in the URL field???!!! Thats weird AF. Just put a import button like a normal person cause thats what a normal person would be looking for. I had to google how to use this browser. Its not a video editor. ITs not a browser for IT professionals. This was geared toward standard users. Standard users want to click a button. Not turn the URL field into a command line. Opera got me doing CMD in the URL field to import a password file. I'm so upset right now. Then if you come to Opera to ask you get people that are upset that you asked a question. They respond with "This question has already been in another post" as if you are some kind of A-hole for asking a question or having a problem. People respond to them like they themselves have never had a problem with something and it upset them. So even though there are people that will help...there are too many Opera Fan boys that will talk to you like a chump because you said mean things about how Opera works or isn't working. Well to the fan boys....there is a reason that factually there are more people using Microsoft Edge more than Opera. We all hate Edge. We hate it so much that Microsoft had to try to glue it into Windows so we don't remove it and despite that we still engineer the software out of our Windows systems. Thats how much people hate Edge and it is used more than Opera. Trust me...Opera sucks. Its just really pretty is all. Only reason I used it. But I am going back to Chrome. It actually works and I never have to google how to use it.

It says that it "bookmarks, Speed Dials, history, passwords, and open tabs across multiple devices" is the exact words used. I don't use bookmarks so I don't know about that. But it 100% of the time will not sync open tabs. Passwords it does sync. But Speed dials and open tabs are just ignored. I have 106 tabs open. WTF is my sync at?? My windows 10 laptop will not sync with my windows 10 desktop. Just like how my android phone opera will not sync tabs and speed dials with my android tablet. WTF is this so complicated?? Opera obviously sucks at doing this. Totally wish they just made it so I can copy the Opera install folder and paste it on the new device so that you still have your browser with open tabs and all. Its just a browser. Why are my tabs and speed dials under so much lock and key? When I install a browser....I don't plan on keeping it on the device forever. Devices break or you get a new one or you get and additional device. Your going to want to move or mirror your browser. One user should not be forced into having 2 separate browser sessions. I am using the same browser while running the same Operating system of Windows 10 64 bit while on the same network and wired connected and in the same house as both devices while logged in on both devices at the same time and set to sync everything. Nothing syncs though. On the opera sync page it says my synchronized content is 1 tab and one device. Weird being as I have one laptop, one desktop, one windows tablet, 2 android tablets, and 3 phones all running Opera. I'm pretty sure sync don't work unless something is wrong with literally every device I own. I only use Opera because its pretty. Chrome and Mozilla and Brave and plenty others are dramatically better. Just not as pretty. They better fix the sync soon cause I can always use the other browsers and just modify them to look better. I just didn't feel like it since Opera already was a nice design. But looking pretty ain't nothing if you don't work. Who wants a Ferrari that will never drive??
