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?

@ultravio1et In settings under appearance, you’ll see a top bar section. At the top of that section is a subtle “manage top bar” that you can click to get to the user i interface section.

I can confirm.

Example extension:

manifest.json:

{
    "manifest_version": 3,
    "name": "Extension Popup White Border Test",
    "version": "0.1",
    "action": {
        "default_popup": "popup.html"
    }
}

popup.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>White Border on Extension Popup</title>
        <style>
            * {
                background-color: black;
                color: white;
            }
            body {
                width: 300px;
                height: 500px;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p>There shouldn't be a white border for this popup.</p>
    </body>
</html>

It's in current Opera Stable, Opera GX and Opera Developer. I know the border used to not be there, but I'm not sure if the change is intentional or not.

@Opera-QA-Team, Do you know if the white border is intentional?

@andrew84 Do you remember if anyone else has complained about this on the forums?

Goto the URL opera://about. What's the install path and what's the install type?

If the install type is "For current user" and the install path is "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera" for example, you don't want to run Opera as an administrator. That might mess up the permissions of Opera's files in some cases.

You'd only want to run Opera as administrator if you have an all-user install type where Opera is installed to "C:\Program Files\Opera" for example where you're logged in to a standard, non-administrator account and you want to run Opera as an administrator user and have Opera use that administrator's settings and data for Opera (as opposed to logging into that administrator's account and starting Opera from there).

When you click an attachment in the attachment filed on the header toolbar above a message and goto "Open with", you're going to see all the applications you have installed that have registered themselves in
Windows as supporting pdf files. As in, that list is auto-populated based on the Windows registry.

The only thing you can do is mess with:

[Mail Attachment Toolbar Popup]
Item, MI_IDM_Open = Open
Submenu, M_OPEN_WITH, Open in menu
Item, M_SAVE_TO_DOWNLOAD_FOLDER = Save attachment to download folder
Item, MI_IDM_SaveAs = Save

in standard_menu.ini.

You can remove the submenu line to get rid of "open with" completely.

Then, if you need an entry to open with a specific program, you might be able to add it. It might be something like:

Item, "Open with Chrome" = Execute program, "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe", "%something"

where "something" is one of the variables mentioned at https://web.archive.org/web/20080216223715/http://operawiki.info/IniFileVariables. However, I don't know if any of those variables will give you the path to the attachment in your temp directory. You might only be able to get the URL of the attachment that looks like attachment://stuff that is of no use to another program.

According to my testing, this is fixed in Opera Developer 128.0.5806.0 so far (even though it's not mentioned in the changelog).

If you want to test, you can download "Opera_Developer_128.0.5806.0_Setup_x64.exe" from https://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera-developer/128.0.5806.0/win/, launch it, click "options", adjust the options to your liking and install. Opera Developer will install to its own folder and use its own data and settings, and will not mess with your normal Opera.

You don't have to test though. Just if you want to.

It'll take a while yet before the fix gets to the stable version of Opera though.

If you open up new windows in Opera (ctrl + n) and goto the site you want in each, move the windows to the monitors you want and close Opera by clicking the menu button at the top left of Opera and choosing exit, when you start Opera again, all those windows and tabs should be restored to where they were. Of course, any other tabs and windows you have open will be restored too. If that's not what you want, you'd have to close any extra tabs and windows besides the ones you want before doing menu -> exit. Just make sure you have "Retain tabs from the previous session" set at the URL opera://settings/onStartup.

If you're using Opera GX, you can goto the URL opera://settings/profiles and create extra profiles. You can then open those extra Operas and move each to the monitor you want. When you close and open them back up, they should go back to the monitors they were on. Also, in each of those profiles, you can goto the URL opera://settings/onStartup and set them to open a specific page on startup.

For regular Opera (Opera One), you can create extra profiles this way.

Besides those ways, there might be a session manager at https://chromewebstore.google.com/search/session that can do what you want.

Or, you could do something weird like create:

loadopera.bat

cd "%localappdata%\Programs\Opera"
opera --new-window --window-position=0,0 --window-size=640,480 "https://www.google.com" | opera --new-window --window-position-100,100 --window-size=640,480 "https://example.com/" | opera --new-window --window-position=200,200 --window-size=640,480 "https://vivaldi.net/" | opera --new-window --window-position=300,300 --window-size=640,480 "https://opera.com/"

and then double-left-click loadopera.bat to start Opera.

If you want the windows to open maximized, you'd remove the --window-size switches. Due to a bug in Opera though, they'll open maximized anyway even with --window-size set.

For getting them on the monitors you want, you'd edit --window-position for each and change the x coordinate (the first coordinate) to enough pixels to get that window on the screen you want. That's assuming you have things to expand across all monitors.

@Fildefer That trigger getupdates button at the URL opera://sync-internals is like a sync now button.

@Fildefer said in Opera 127 Stable:

since update the vpn button is nowhere to be found in the toolbar and vpn can only be activated in private browsing window, why ?

The VPN button missing is a known issue. You can goto the URL opera://settings/vpn to turn it on and off.

@Fildefer said in Opera 127 Stable:

just reinstalled my computer and sync lost all my bookmarks but 1, really sux, been asking for a 'sync now' button since long, but no luck, would have prevented this

For Sync to work the best:

• To avoid having authenticaiton isues with other services, when you create an Opera account at https://auth.opera.com/, don't choose any of the "Continue with" options. Instead, type in the email address you want associated with your Opera account (can still be a gmail.com or a icloud.com email address for example), click "Continue", type the password you want for yor Opera account and click "Create account".

• To avoid issues with not being able to access your data on the Sync server, on the opera://settings/syncSetup page, don't choose to set a custom passphrase.

• After you choose what things to sync on the opera://settings/syncSetup page, you need to close that tab to start syncing.

• To manually trigger a sync, you can goto the URL opera://sync-internals and trigger an update and see the status of the syncing.

• When you think syncing is all done, you need to goto https://www.sync.opera.com/ to confirm your data is there.

Even with all that, you cannot rely on Sync as your only backup. You still need to export your passwords at the URL opera://password-manager/settings, export your bookmarks at the URL opera://bookmarks and put those 2 exported files on a USB stick or something just in, case something goes wrong with Sync.

Goto the URL opera://settings/enhancedAddressBar, disable "promoted suggestions" and restart Opera to see if it helps.
