Working fine for me for what it's worth. You're only allowed to add 5 custom sites. How many do you currently have?

Confirmed.

@andrew84 Never paid attention in Opera One, but in Opera GX, there’s often a vertical line to show the preview for the dark mode wallpaper and the light mode wallpaper at the same time. Mods can provide a different one for each mode. I forget if the line shows in GX when the mod provides the same for both modes. Can’t check at the moment, but that might explain why they’re there. Of course, if the wallpaper is the same for both modes, the line should be omitted IMO.

There's an issue where it might not work right if you have the level set to 100%. Setting it to 75% might work around that. Settings are at the URL opera://settings/lucidMode.

Download "Opera_131.0.5877.97_Setup_x64.exe" from https://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/131.0.5877.97/win/.

Make sure Opera is closed and make sure there are no Opera processes running on the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.

Then, uninstall whatever Opera you have installed via "Installed apps" in settings in Windows. Don't choose to delete your data when asked. If it fails to uninstall that way, don't worry about it.

Delete the "Opera" folder in "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs"

Delete any Opera shortcuts remaining on the desktop, start menu and in the taskbar.

Open up the Windows Task Scheduler, select "Task Scheduler Library" and delete any Opera autoupdate tasks that are still in the list.

Delete everything in "C:\Windows\temp" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\temp". You can skip temp files that Windows won't let you delete because they're in use.

Then, launch the installer, click "options", make sure everything is how you want and install.

Then, see how things go from there with the next update.

As to why it happens, it could be some security software on your system that's interfering with Opera. NordVPN, Eset, Kaspersky, Bitdefender and CCleaner for example are known to mess with Opera.

You can also run:

ping autoupdate.opera.com

in a command prompt to make sure you can reach Opera's autoupdate servers.

You can also check:

ping net.geo.opera.com

Right-click Opera's taskbar button and unpin it. Then, right-click on opera.exe in "C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera" and choose "Pin to taskbar".

Or:

Download "Opera_131.0.5877.97_Setup_x64.exe" from https://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/131.0.5877.97/win/, close Opera, uninstall Opera via "Install apps" in settings in Windows (but don't choose to delete your data when asked). Then, delete the "Opera" folder in "C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Programs".

Then, launch the Opera installer, click "options", make sure all the options are how you want them and install.

@stefanw1337 said in Protected (DRM) content can't be played:

added this to the Opera shortcut -after target: --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"

When using that, you should keep it up to date by going to the URL chrome://version in Chrome and looking at the user agent string. Having version 120 in the string might cause some issues as it's super old.

@Opera-QA-Team Thanks for checking. Since you were not able to reproduce it, I restarted my GPU driver with Windows key + ctrl + shift + b and that fixed it. But, I restarted my computer for good measure.

So, all good. False alarm.

@whisperer Yep.

I wrote about this problem earlier

I don't have Telegram, but looking on the net, I see lots of memory leak reports for it in all browsers where the tab runs out of memory if you don't close it and reopen it or reload it often. While not a fix, that's something you can try in Opera to try and prevent it from happening as much. Not sure if clicking "reload" on the Telegram sidebar panel will help the same or not though.

Not sure if it was mentioned, but on Windows 11, when Opera Developer (fresh profile) isn't maximized, clicking the Opera Menu button at the top left of Opera opens a new window instead of opening the context menu.

More specifically, what action gets triggered depends on the position of the window, which affects what item in the context menu the mouse cursor would be on if the context menu actually showed up.

All is good in Opera Stable.

If you're talking about Opera Sync, in the old Opera, after logging in to your Opera account, enabling Sync, choosing to sync everything on the opera://settings/syncSetup page and closing the syncSetup page to initiate syncing, you have to wait a tad bit for things to sync. Then, you need to goto https://www.sync.opera.com/, log in and confirm that your data is all there. Once it is, you should then be able to log in and enable syncing of everything in the new Opera and it should just work. Just note that speed dials for the old Opera will be in a folder for the old Opera at the URL opera://bookmarks where you have to copy them to the "Speed Dial" folder for the new Opera. For non-speed-dial bookmarks, they should just sync as expected. Also note that, not all settings are synced, only extensions from addons.opera.com are synced (and only their installations, not their settings and data) and open tabs for the old Opera are just available at the URL opera://activity for you to manually open in the new Opera.

Now, if Sync isn't working for you and you can still load the old Opera on the old computer, you can do exporting and importing:

In Opera on the old computer, goto the URL opera://bookmarks and use the drop-down at the bottom left to export your bookmarks to an HTML file. Then, copy that HTML file to a USB stick for example to transfer it to the new computer. Then, in Opera on the new computer, goto the URL opera://settings/importData, select "Bookmarks HTML file" in the drop-down and point it to the bookmarks HTML file to import your bookmarks. Then, goto the URL opera://bookmarks and go in to the "Bookmarks Bar" folder to find your imported bookmarks. You can then move the bookmarks to where you want. For example, you can move imported speed dials to the "Speed Dial" folder and imported bookmarks to the root of the "Bookmarks Bar" folder or "Other Bookmarks". How ever you want.

For passwords, in the old Opera, goto the URL opera://password-manager/settings and export your passwords to a CSV file. Then, open up the CSV file in a text editor to make sure the passwords are actually there. Then, in Opera on the new computer, goto opera://password-manager/settings and import the CSV file from the old Opera.

For open tabs, before you export your bookmarks, in each workspace, in each window, right-click on an open tab, goto "Save" and choose "all tabs to a speed dial folder". You can then name those speed dial folders "Window 1 - Workspace name1", "Window 1 - Workspace Name2", "Window 2 - Workspace Name 1" etc. so you know what tabs are for what workspace. Then, in the new Opera, after creating the same workspaces and number of windows, in each workspace, in each window, you can right-click on its corresponding imported speed dial folder and choose "open all in tabs" to restore your open tabs. This does not restore navigation history for each tab though.

For history, you can goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera and copy the "History" file in the profile folder over to the new computer and use that copy to replace the existing one in Opera's profile folder.

For extensions, you reinstall them. For cookies, you don't transfer those. You just log in to sites again in the new Opera. For settings, you just adjust your settings again.

For autofill form data and a few other things, you might be able to copy the "Web Data" file in the profile folder for the old Opera and use it to replace the "Web Data" file for the new Opera. Might not work properly though if anything in the "Web Data" file is encrypted by the old Opera where the new Opera can't read it. But, you can try. If it doesn't work, you can just delete the "Web data" file to have Opera create a fresh one that it can write to again.

@GeoffJ Installing "opera-stable_131.0.5877.74_amd64.deb" from https://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/desktop/131.0.5877.74/linux/ doesn't work?

@steeveboy I personally couldn't reproduce this in the same build on Windows 11. Try "New private window" from menu and via right-clicking on taskbar button with Opera close and with Opera opened. Address field is focused as expected.

Try clearing cache and clearing cookies for google.com.

Same issue in a private window (ctrl + shift + n)?

Same issue in a test standalone installation?

Still on Windows 11?

There's a post about it at https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/comments/1r8s74v/vpn_icon_wont_go_away/.

Same issue with a test standalone installation?

You can reset Google Sync at https://chrome.google.com/sync.

You can reset Opera Sync at https://www.sync.opera.com/ using the "Reset passphrase" link. Opera doesn't sync with Google's servers though. It only syncs with sync.opera.com and only extensions from addons.opera.com are synced.

For good measure, you should scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes.

Also, look in "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local" for a folder that's manifest.json in it. If you find one, open manifest.json in a text editor and see if that looks like the culprit. If so, delete the extension folder.

In the Windows task manager, see if there are any weird processes running. There could be malware running that keeps reinstalling the extension.

Check in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies" for a "Google" key to see if there are any subkeys that are force-loading the extension.

Check "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies", and "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Policies" too.

Check "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Google\Chrome\Extensions", "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google\Chrome\Extensions" and "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Chrome\Extensions" too.

For Opera's desktop shortcut, right-click on it, goto "properties" and check the target field command on the "Shortcut" tab to make sure there are no command-line switched being passed to opera.exe to directly load an extension. Same with Opera's pinned taskbar icon by right-clicking it and right-clicking "Opera Browser" and going to "properties".

Check the "Startup" tab in the Windows task manager and "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" and "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run".

Searching for "olkpikmlhoaojbbmmpejnimiglejmboe" in the registry and removing things like you did will probably cover that, but you can manually check those keys just in case.

If a test standalone installation of Opera is not affected, but a regular installation is, you might have to uninstall the regular installation, delete its install folder and then delete/rename the "Opera Stable" folder in both "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Opera Software".

You can goto the URL chrome://policy in both Chrome and Opera to see if it's picking up any polices from the registry. In Opera, you'll need to enable the "Show policy page" flag at the URL opera://flags/#policy first though.

@profesy Does it happen with graphics acceleration disabled at the URL opera://settings/system ?

What security software do you have on your system? Anti-virus etc.?

Do you have CCleaner installed?

Some programs mess with only Opera.

Any crashes listed at opera://crashes ?
