Goto URL opera://settings/startPage. You'll see a suggestions option that you can disable (among other things).

Goto the URL opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs, disable the flag, and restart Opera.

Test this solution. Remove the Opera Safe Store password from Keychain Access login item.

Steps:

Open Keychain Access application

Choose 'login' keychain on left

Choose 'Password' group

Find 'Opera Safe Storage' entry, right click it and choose Delete.

You can goto https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/?tag=animated and install one of the animated wallpapers. Then, in Opera, goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "profile" path. Then, close Opera and look in the "themes" folder in the profile folder.

You'll see the folder for the wallpaper you installed. In it, you can see how to create your own. You then just zip up your persona.ini file with the webm file and thumbnail and you 'll have your custom wallpaper.

Things you can try:

Goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "profile" path. Then, close Opera and delete the WidevineCDM folder in the profile folder.

Then, start Opera, goto the URL opera://components, click "update" for Widevine, let it update, and restart Opera.

Then, start Opera and goto https://html5test.com/ and make sure it shows "yes" for h.264 support and "yes" for aac support.

Once that's good, goto https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm, make sure it says "Using Widevine" above the video and "Widevine" for EME below the video, and "video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42c00d" for MSE below the video. And, make sure the video plays and you can hear its audio.

Then, goto the URL opera://settings/siteData, type spotify.com in the search-cookies field and choose "remove all shown".

Then, goto https://open.spotify.com/ in a new tab, log in, and try to play some music.

If you still have problems, goto the URL opera://flags/#reduce-user-agent, enable the flag, restart Opera, and try again.

If you still have problems, goto the URL opera://settings/system, disable hardware acceleration, restart Opera, and try again.

If you still have problems, goto the URL opera://extensions, disable all your extensions, and restart Opera.

If you still ahve problems, make sure you're not using Opera's VPN, and try turning off Opera's Adblocking and tracking protection.

If you still have problems, try all of the above with a standalone installation.

You can also goto the URL opera://settings/content/protectedContent, and make sure "Sites can play protected content" and "Sites can use identifiers to play protected content" are set with no sites in the custom behaviors list.

In the Opera program files directory, right-click on launcher.exe to create a new shortcut and place it on your desktop. Then, on the desktop, rename it what you want. Then, right-click on the shortcut, goto properties and then the "shortcut" tab. On that tab, modify the target to add the --user-data-dir command-line switch.

For example:

"C:\Program Files (X86)\Opera\launcher.exe" "--user-data-dir=C:\Users\yourusername\Opera2"

(I personally have a "My Program Files" folder in "C:\Users\myusername", so I'd use "C:\Users\myusername\My Program Files\Opera2" for example.)

You can create as many shortcuts as you want with each using a different profile folder.

See http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/#user-data-dir for more info.

Log into https://gemini.google.com/app in a tab.

Then, enable the "Custom user sites for browser sidebar" flag at the URL opera://flags/#sidebar-site-panel, restart Opera, click the 3 dots at the bottom of the sidebar, scroll down to Custom Site Panels and add https://gemini.google.com/app.

As an alternative for now, note that you can enable the "Custom user sites for browser sidebar" flag at the URL opera://flags/#sidebar-site-panel, restart Opera, click the 3 dots at the bottom of the sidebar, scroll down to "Custom Site Panels" and add the URL for the web app you want (https://bsky.app/ for example).

You can't customize the icon for it in the sidebar and you can change its position, but it's something for now.

If you have any trouble logging in to the site in the sidebar, you can log in via a regular tab first and then reload the sidebar.

Goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "profile" path. Close down Opera and delete the WidevineCDM folder in the profile folder. Then, start Opera, goto opera://components and try updating Widevine again.

You might want to make sure opera://flags/#new-component-update-mechanism is disabled too. It should be by default, but check that URL just in case.

Are you talking about the start page button that's missing on the left side of the address bar in Opera One builds?

No issue downloading the exe for me either.

@azimli52 For future reference, after you rename your "Opera GX Stable" folders to "Opera GX Stable old", you can delete everything in the new "Opera GX Stable\Default\Sessions" folder and copy all files from the old "Opera GX Stable old\Default\Sessions" folder over to the new, now-empty "Sessions" folder. That will restore your tabs and windows. Method doesn't work well with workspaces though.

@kamil7165 said in Opera 124 Stable:

I already have found that the shortcuts' settings has changed and no shortcut was assigned to file opening option. I typed ctrl+l in relevant settings option and it works for me again. Maybe that's due to recent updates, I don't know.

Opera made some changes.

At the URL opera://settings/keyboardShortcuts, ctrl + O is no longer assigned to the "Open file" command by default because when the "Opera AI" flag is enabled at the URL opera://flags/#ai-chat-in-side-panel, ctrl + O gets assigned to the "Open and close AI Chat in the Side Panel" command by default.

So, in short, to restore things back to how they used to be, you'll want to remove ctrl + O from the "Open and close AI Chat in the Side Panel" command if enabled (not a big deal because ctrl + / is still assigned to it that you can use) and add ctrl + O to the "Open file" command.

@azimli52 Are you saying the standalone installation doesn't open for you either?

@azimli52 You can rename the "Opera GX Stable" folder in both "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Opera Software" to "Opera GX Stable old". The start Opera.

You can rename ~/.config/Opera to "OperaOld" to start over fresh and then goto https://www.sync.opera.com/ in another browser, log in and click "reset passphrase" to wipe out all your Sync data.

That'll give you a clean slate to work with to see if that solves the issue or not.

Start Opera in safe mode, reset your flags at the URL opera://flags, close Opera and open it normally.

If that doesn't work, you can rename the "Opera Stable" folder in both "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software: and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Opera Software" to "Opera Stable old" to start over with fresh settings and data.

You can try uninstalling Opera again, but delete the install folder afterwards before reinstalling. By default it's the "Opera" folder in "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs".

Note that to see your AppData folder, you'll want to goto "View -> Show" in Windows Explorer (File Explorer) and enable "File extensions" and "Hidden items".

@fleerp You can open up a terminal:

cd ~/Downloads
