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

I finally got this to happen to me in Opera GX. I then went to the URL opera://settings/system and enabled "Use DNS-over-HTTPS instead of the system’s DNS settings". Then things starting working. I don't know if that's coincidence or not yet though.

In Opera Developer (68), it has been change to a search icon. You can goto the URL opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs, disable it and restart to get the old behavior back.

Are you using Opera 68?

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.

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

Disable opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs.

To enable password importing, you need to start Opera with the --enable-features=PasswordImport command-line switch.

For example:

"C:\Program Files\Opera\launcher.exe" --enable-features=PasswordImport

Goto the URL opera://about to see the "install" path to see what the path to your launcher.exe is. You can then run that command in a command prompt or modify the properties of Opera's shortcut to pass that switch to launcher.exe.

Then, in Opera, you can goto the URL opera://settings/importData and import your passwords from Chrome. But, you need to make sure Chrome is closed when you do it.

Or, if you want to import the csv file, you can then goto the URL opera://settings/passwords and the "import" option will be available.

Goto the URL opera://flags/#PasswordImport, enable the import flag and restart Opera. Then, goto the URL opera://settings/passwords, click the 3 vertical dots to the right of "saved passwords" and choose to import the csv file.

For the specific format of the CSV file, export passwords to a csv file from the same opera://settings/passwords 3-dot menu in any Chromium-based browser and look at the CSV file in a text editor.

The feature was called Instant Search and Opera removed it.

Turn off the ctrl + alt + q shortcut in the Google Translate extension you're using.

Creating thread.

@skcro said in Opera using a lot of disk activity reading opera_browser.dll:

Opera essentially kills my HDD whenever it opens

You mean Opera slows your drive performance to a crawl when it's open because of the disk activity of reading opera_browser.dll? Or, are you just worried about reads hurting your SSD?

I noticed your post, but I'm not having any issues with my Opera GX on Windows 11.

@vivi3107 What I meant was:

Before Opera 84, all methods of adding a bookmark would insert at the top except for one exception. Dragging and dropping a tab or its URL to a bookmarks bar folder would do the opposite and insert at the bottom. Everyone was fine with this. Some users coming from other browsers didn't like Opera inserting at the top, but they got used to it.

Then, in Opera 84, that drag and drop exception was removed so that it was consistent with all other methods.

Now in 87, all methods including the drag and drop method insert at the bottom. This satisfies users that were mad about the change in 84 that took away their drag and drop exception, but it also angers most users of all other methods of bookmarking that are used to Opera inserting at the top like it has always done.

@vicjoker For now, goto the URL opera://browserjs and disable it.

@xantares That's coming from browser.js. You can goto the URL opera://browserjs and disable it for the session if it really bugs you.

There must be a bug in browser.js that causes it to append the version to the body. Happens even on sites that don't need patches.

@skyvi said in When trying to play a video, it says "The media could not be played":

it's the N version

You have to download and install (or just enable, depending on your version of Windows) the Windows Media Feature Pack. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/media-feature-pack-list-for-windows-n-editions-c1c6fffa-d052-8338-7a79-a4bb980a700a. Then, it should say "yes" for h.264 and aac at htps://html5test.com/.

Disabled the video decode thing and the hardware acceleration but it still doesn't work.

Make sure to reenable those.

@vivi3107 said in Opera 87 Stable:

moving every new bookmark to the top is annoying

Then you should be happy as that fix changes it back to adding to the bottom.

Link to video page?

What OS? If Windows, what version of Windows and is it an "N" edition of that version?

Does https://html5test.com/ show "yes" for h.264 and aac? If yes, goto the URL opera://flags/#disable-accelerated-video-decode, disable the flag and restart Opera. If that doesn't help, goto the URL opera://settings/system, disable hardware acceleration and restart.

Opera has default partner speed dials. If Opera gets a new speed dial partner, it'll show up and you can delete it (and goto the URL opera://bookmarks and empty the bookmarks trash) so it doesn't come back. It has nothing do with suggestions.
