@dddiam said in Opera only lists my "WS" printers:
All other programs, browsers and apps list all of my printer destinations.
As in, Chrome, Brave, Chromium, Vivaldi and Chromium-based Edge all show all of them? They all use Chromium like Opera, so those would be the best comparisons.
@buggeer said in Opera vs shortcuts:
Upon every update Opera recreates it's desktop shortcut, despite the fact that during the initial installation it was set not to create it.
This seems to be fixed in Opera Developer. The fix should reach stable eventually.
@buggeer said in Opera vs shortcuts:
Upon almost every update, Opera changes its launcher.visualelementsmanifest.xml to default, resulting in a bright white icon suddenly appearing in the start menu, which is especially annoying, because windows requires the shortcut to be fully recreated or a third-party tool to flush its visualelementsmanifest cache.
I've seen users complain about it, but I don't think it's been addressed yet. I guess it's expected that you're not supposed to modify the file, but I can see the reason for wanting to.
I don't know if it'll work for your specific situation, but goto the URL chrome://flags/#hardware-media-key-handling, disable it, relaunch Opera and try again.
Also, you could also try going to the URL opera://settings/content/sound and disabling sound. Then, for sites you want to allow sound, you can click the badge at the left of the address field, goto site settings and adjust the sound setting for just that site. That can stop autoplay by default and allow it for sites you want.
@tnowak said in Very long extension moderation process:
"Well-known third-party libraries must be in a genuine and in an unchanged form. They should be acquired from the vendor’s official website or a CDN."
How is the check done? SHA-256 hash comparison between the included file and the file for the latest version of the library?
Was just wondering how @commaticus could check before-hand just to make sure the system will be happy.
In searching, I see something for Chrome about typing "thisisunsafe" in the window when you get an error where it adds an exception for the site.

Don't know the details about that, but maybe it works in Opera too.
@sevenstars said in Where can I download Opera 12 in 2019:
The old FTP-Server ftp://ftp.opera.com is down
It was replaced with an https view of the server. https://ftp.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/ for example.
A different want to do it where you get a blank, gray page:
Goto the URL opera://settings/startPage, enable "Hide search box", enable "Hide Speed Dial" and disable "Show news on the start page". Tweak any of the other settings you want there too. Then, goto the URL opera://settings/wallpapers and disable "Enable Wallpapers".
@foxy01 said in Crash when downloading:
It happens even when i download picture
Goto google.com, right-click on the logo and "save image as" and save it as test.png to your desktop. Does Opera crash then too?
Create a folder on your desktop named "test". Goto the URL opera://settings/downloads, uncheck "ask..." and change your download folder to "c:\Users\yourusername\desktop\test". Opera still crash?
Change the download folder back to "C:\Users\yourusername\Downloads" and try again. Does Opera still crash?
Download the Opera installer, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder named "Opera Test" on your desktop, set "install for" to "standalone installation", uncheck "import data from default browser" and install. Test in that Opera, but do not install any extensions and do not enable Opera Sync. Does Opera crash then?
There are a few extensions at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/save image as that allow you to save an image as a specific type. But, there's no "save as gif" Just webp, png and jpeg. I don't think they support apng and not even sure if the webp saving the extensions do supports animation.
In reading about the situation for Chrome, sites that force webp on your don't really look at the 'Accept' header your browser sends and instead use your user agent. In this case for tumblr, you might be able to mask as a browser that doesn't support webp with a user-agent switcher extension to avoid having webp forced on you. Firefox, Edge and Chromium-Edge, and Vivaldi all support it too though (animated ones too).
Besides that, you might have to use a converter to convert webp files to gif files. If they're animated though, you might want to use mp4 or webm (basically webp) instead like some sites do anyway as they're more efficient.
One of those extensions mentioned above could be used to force webp on sites that don't force it. Then, you can just use webp from now on. Could work great with the good browser support there is for it, but it depends on what you're doing with the gifs.
