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?

@genegold In these particular cases, use the heart icon to set the thumbnail that you want for a speed dial and then restart Opera to see the change. Opera has some quirkyness with imported speed dials or speed dials that are treated as imported because a "Bookmarks" file was used just that came from a different Opera.

If all else fails, delete the speed dial, empty the bookmarks trash and the URL opera://bookmarks, goto the site and click the heart icon to add the site back in.

@3333e said in Opera 123 developer:

Please also consider syncing Opera's version with Chromium.

I doubt Opera will do that. However, what would be another solution? Something like a simple chromium_ver.txt file in the install folder containing the version of Chromium Opera is based on on the first line?

@3333e I mentioned https://github.com/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/pull/226 to the dev that handles media a while ago if that's what you're talking about. Haven't heard anything.

If you put the libffmpeg.so that you want into Opera's lib_extra folder in the install folder where Opera chooses to load that one instead of the liffmpeg.so in the root of the Opera install folder that comes with Opera, how is that a problem?

Or, are you saying that when Opera searches for libffmpeg.so, it favors the lib_extra folder first, the install folder second and then some other paths where you actually want a specific path to be highest priority?

@greatland1959 Strange, it's working here and others have confirmed it's working for them too. Not sure if any of them are on macOS though. Maybe it's still broken there for some reason.

@jehill12 Awesome!

Not the same, but the opera://bookmarks page has been missing the option to create a new bookmark since its initial design. There's no "New bookmark" button and no "New bookmark" item in the context menu. Just "New folder" for both.

@jehill12 said in Unable to override autofilled new password on websites:

Place cursor in "new password" field
-Opera immediately fills both fields with a generated 15 character "strong" password

I can confirm that part.

@jehill12 said in Unable to override autofilled new password on websites:

-Once these fields are filled, it is not possible to override the generated password with the password of your choice.
-The fields are locked and the only possible action is Continue. Opera saves the generated passwords

I can't confirm that with the few sites I tested (not 2FA though). I can start typing in the password field and my entered characters are inserted no problem. If I have less than 6 characters, click out of the field and click back in it, Opera will show a suggested password again, but if I type, it'll add more characters to what I previously type.

One thing that was weird was that after a bit, Opera stopped autofilling a generated password and instead just started showing a tooltip with an item to insert a generated password (aka, the old way). Had to start with a new profile to get that new way back.

I can confirm that disabling the flag I mentioned previously does disable the automatic autofill of generated passwords. Couldn't find any way to turn just that off.

Have to admit, the automatic-ness of it is very annoying.

So, I'm wondering if 2FA has something to do with it. But, I have a feeling it's something with certain sites.

As a test, goto https://example.com/, hit ctrl + shift + i to open the developer tools and make sure you're on the Elements tab. Then, right-click on <body> and choose "edit as HTML". Then delete everything in the body and paste in:

<form action="login.html" method="post"><input type="password" name="password">
<input type="password" name="passconfirm"><input type="submit"></form>

Then, hit ctrl + enter to apply.

Then click in the first password field. Does that field get locked for you too?

Here is some general info:

You can goto the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData, switch to "Advanced", set the time range to "all time" and check only autofill form data. That should wipe out everything at opera://settings/addresses just in case a password was stored there by accident. For good measure, you can goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera and delete the "Web data" folder in the profile folder. This will wipe out your payment methods at opera://settings/payments too.

Then, for good measure, goto the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData, switch to advanced again, set time range to all again, check only "Cookies and other site data" and "Cached images and files" and clear that data. This will log you out of all sites. Then, for good measure, goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera and delete the "Cookies" file in "Network" folder in the profile folder.

Then, in Opera, goto the URL opera://password-manager/passwords. For any login info you don't want anymore, delete it. For any entries that have the wrong info (like the wrong password), fix the entries or delete them so that you can choose to save them again when you successfully log into those sites again.

Then, as far as Opera is concerned, you should be good to go. You'll just need to log back in to your sites.

As for account for a site you have where you don't like the password set for the account, log into the site and change the password with the method the site provides. If you don't know the password, use the site's "forgot password" link.

Also, for now, until Opera removes it, you can disable the "Password management popup" flag at the URL opera://flags/#password-management-popup and restart opera to get the old password prompt back.

You can also search for password and the URL opera://flags and make sure the other password-related flags are set to "Default".

See https://www.reddit.com/r/OperaGX/comments/1bbucna/comment/kuhk4sy/ for a simple example of how to do it with a mod.
