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?

At the URL opera://password-manager/settings, you can choose to save/export them to csv file. You can then open the csv file in a text editor to confirm they got exported properly.

Here are some things you can do right now:

In Opera GX you can goto the URL opera://settings/web_modding and add CSS for a domain to change any font stuff that CSS allows you to change. In regular Opera, you can use a User CSS extension or ever write your own extension.

Example:

Create a folder on your desktop and put these 2 files in it:

manifest.json:

{
    "manifest_version": 3,
    "name": "Red Font for Example.com",
    "version": "0.1",
    "description": "Changes all font color to red on example.com.",
    "content_scripts": [
        {
            "matches": [
                "*://example.com/*"
            ],
            "css": [
                "content.css"
            ],
            "run_at": "document_start"
        }
    ],
    "permissions": []
}

content.css:

* {
    color: red !important;
    font-size: 24px !important;
    font-family: Consolas !important;
}

Then, in Opera, goto the URL opera://extensions, turn on developer mode, click "Load unpacked" and point it to the folder where manifest.json is at. Then, enable "Allow access to search page results" and "Allow in incognito". Then, goto https://example.com/.

You can see https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_font_font.php for more info on font-related CSS properties etc.

Goto the URL opera://password-manager/passwords.

It's a promotional suggestion. There's no way to turn it off.

@mdmahib10 said in [Suggestion]Option to save a state of browsing:

Add a option that will save a state of using opera gx. Like if I was using 3 tabs after using that option I will get the same state of the browser even after closing opera and even if I restart or shutdown.

That's how Opera works by default due to the "Retain tabs from previous session" option being set at the URL opera://settings/onStartup and it does it automatically. Tabs in other workspaces than the default are saved too. Tabs in multiple windows are saved too if you don't close any windows and goto Menu -> Exit to quit Opera.

Besides that, there are session manager extensions like Session where you can manually save and restore sessions if you want. Session saving for the extension, last time I checked, saves tabs just for the current workspace. Some other session extensions might do things differently.

Also note that you can right-click on a tab, goto "save" and choose "all tabs to speed dial folder". Then, later on, you can right-click that folder and choose "open all in tabs" to get those tabs back if they were closed.

@axtriel Go in settings on iOS, tap on the Opera GX app to see its settings. What version does it show there? Maybe it updated to an incompatible version when it wasn't supposed to. I have 2.71 with 2.80 starting the requirement for iOS 17 I think.

@weilan Things are slightly better in Opera GX. The search in tabs, minimize, maximize/restore and close buttons work as expected. The + button on the tab bar, the expand/collapse toggle for a tab group, the Opera menu, the right-most toggle on the address bar, the sidebar panel buttons, and the back button when the sidebar is hidden are all still an issue though.

So, it seems like it should be possible to fix some of the things in Opera One too.

Vivaldi's developers do tests on these things when there are interface changes. Sometimes they don't catch an issue at first, but they usually fix it when reported. I would like to see the same in Opera.

@foroxian You can try https://www.bcuninstaller.com/ instead of Revo to see if it helps.

Opera GX on iOS requires iOS 17 now. If you have an older version of Opera GX on iOS 16 for example, you’ll never be updated to the incompatible version. So, as long as you keep the old Opera GX installed, you won’t lose your data in it.

One workaround is to goto the URL opera://bookmarks and right-click a bookmark and choose "copy". Even though copy in this case is mainly meant for being able to then paste into a different folder, Opera uses the clipboard for that and stores the link as text in the clipboard too.
