If it's the 24H2 version of Windows 11, it's a known issue that Opera isn't generating the taskbar button for profiles (even if you have Notifications turned on in Windows). The issue isn't fixed yet.
You can create new profiles this way instead for now.
@burnout426 said in Opera saves images as webp instead jpg:
Besides those, you'd need to install a local HTTP proxy (with TLS support) that allows you to modify headers that you run Opera through.
Proxomitron and Proximodo were the ones that I remember that could do that, but those are pretty old and I haven't used them in years.
Not sure how to do it without an extension. With an extension, you can modify Opera's Accept header to not mention image/webp so that sites serve you an alternative like png or jpg (if they provide one).
Create a folder named "nowebp" and then, create the following two files in it:
manifest.json:
{
"manifest_version": 3,
"name": "Set Accept Header",
"version": "1.0",
"description": "Sets the Accept request header for all URLs",
"permissions": [
"declarativeNetRequest",
"declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess"
],
"host_permissions": [
"<all_urls>"
],
"declarative_net_request": {
"rule_resources": [
{
"id": "ruleset_1",
"enabled": true,
"path": "rules.json"
}
]
}
}
rules.json:
[
{
"id": 1,
"priority": 1,
"action": {
"type": "modifyHeaders",
"requestHeaders": [
{
"header": "Accept",
"operation": "set",
"value": "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/apng,*/*;q=0.8,application/signed-exchange;v=b3;q=0.7"
}
]
},
"condition": {
"urlFilter": "*",
"resourceTypes": [
"main_frame",
"sub_frame",
"stylesheet",
"script",
"image",
"object",
"xmlhttprequest",
"ping",
"csp_report",
"media",
"font",
"websocket",
"other"
]
}
}
]
Then, goto the URL opera://extensions, turn on developer mode, click "Load unpacked" and point it to the nowebp folder. Then, set "allow access to search page results" for the extension if needed.
And, of course, there are extensions at https://chromewebstore.google.com/search/save image as that allow you to right-click an image and save it as a certain type.
Besides those, you'd need to install a local HTTP proxy (with TLS support) that allows you to modify headers that you run Opera through.
You can goto the URL opera://settings/content/all, type google.com in the search field and click "Delete displayed data". Then, you can goto the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData and clear "cached images and files" for all time. Then, log back into Google and Gmail.
If you use Opera's adblocking and tracking protection, you can disable it for mail.google.com to see if it's what's interfering.
You can disable your extensions at the URL opera://extensions one by one to see if one is the culprit.
Of course, that's if it happens again.
Also, if it happens again, test in a private window to see if it works there.
You can also try things in a test standalone installation.
@airamnikita I can’t test right now, but try https://www.uxmotionschool.com/.
Unless Opera calls the built-in mod that it comes with "The end" and shows it at the bottom of the opera://mods page, that's not a mod and is just a little design showing the end of the mods page.
Maybe you're talking about the new UI in Opera GX. To revert to the old UI, you can goto the URL opera://settings/widgets_settings, enable "Widgets" and "Show new look", open a new tab, click "Widgets" at the top right of the start page to pull out the Widgets drawer and click the back/revert button to the right of the "Let us know" field.
Just keep in mind that Opera will probably take away the option to revert eventually.
I downloaded the crx files for both the Capybara Party and Invader Zim mods, extracted them and then modified things. I converted Invader Zim to a scheme_version 2 mod and that added image_overrides and the json icons from the Capybara Party mod to the Invader Zim mod and it loads fine and doesn't cause any problems.
My guess then is that one or more of the lottie json files you're using for the images for the new version of your Invader Zim mod are not right. Maybe whatever you used to convert your images to the json files didn't do something right this time.
What specific version of Opera GX do you have as shown at the URL opera://about. It should be 115.0.5322.124 at this moment. The alt + click crash should be fixed.
Not on macOS to test, but as an alternative for now, you should be able to do something like this in a terminal:
open "/Applications/Opera GX.app" --args "--user-data-dir=/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/com.operasoftware.OperaGX/Work Profile"
to create/load a second profile used for just work using the Chromium method of specifying another profile.
You should then be able to create a desktop shortcut (and maybe even a dock shortcut) that runs that command.
See https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/new_profile/#wiki_create_multiple_profiles_for_opera for some Windows examples that you can adapt.
@fechterin To fix an existing desktop shortcut, you can right-click it, goto "properties" and switch to the "Shortcut" tab. Then, in the target field, make sure the command is:
"C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera GX\opera.exe"
and not:
"C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera GX\launcher.exe"
You can also click the "change icon" button and point it to "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\opera.exe" to get the icon back if necessary.
@fechterin First, delete the bad shortcut.
Then, in File Explorer, browse to "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera", right-click on opera.exe, goto "Send to" and choose "desktop". Then, rename the shortcut on your desktop to "Opera Browser".
To repin the taskbar button, you can right-click on opera.exe and choose "Pin to taskbar".
To repin to the Start Menu icon, you can right-click opera.exe and choose "Pin to start".
Another way to do things is to uninstall Opera (but do not choose to delete your data when uninstalling), delete the install folder at "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera" afterwards, download the Opera installer, launch it, click "options", adjust everything how you like and install.
This could be nice. The width of the sidebar would have to be increased when names are showing though.
For now, you can hover over each icon to see the tooltip that shows the workspace's name.
@mixchild I asked about it internally to see if it's an intentional change with the chrome.tabs API for extensions and workspaces. Haven't gotten a response yet.
See https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/new_profile/#wiki_create_multiple_profiles_for_opera. Those directions are for Windows, but you can use the same --user-data-dir command-line switch on Linux. Try with the deb version of Opera first. Then you can adapt that to the flatpak or snap version of Opera if you use one of them.
For example:
opera --user-data-dir=~/.config/opera/profile2
@chawoobie I can confirm with my PNC account and can confirm that disabling browser.js for the session first allows you to log in. I filed DNA-120404 for it to see if the PNC workaround in browser.js or in site workarounds can be removed.
@avl said in Opera 115.0.5322.109 Stable update:
Does running Opera with --enable-unsafe-webgpu make it work
Not on its own, but if I also set the Angle flag to D3D11, the animated backgrounds work for Aurora and Midsommar. Setting the Angle flag to D3D11 alone doesn't do the trick. Need both of those flags. The animations are horrible slow and not practical to use in that case, but they at least work. So, yeah, it's my old GPU. No problem then.
That still didn't make the Christmas theme show up though, but not a big deal for me personally either.
@andrew84 said in Opera 117.0.5378.0 developer update:
The SD icon on the address bar is still blurry.
Fixed internally so far. Keep an eye out for the fix.
@andrew84 Yeah, it's probably just my old GPU for why the wallpapers don't work on the fancier themes.
@daria19 Midsommar and Aurora are available and I can set them, but their wallpapers don't work (just light-blue-gray for Midsommar and black for Aurora), even if I turn off animation.
I'm sure it's something with my old Intel HD 3000 GPU as for why the wallpapers don't work.
In this build, the Christmas theme isn't showing up in the theme gallery so that I can download it (Windows 11 23H2). Aurora and Midsommar are there. The Christmas one shows up in Opera Developer 117.0.5383.0 though, but the animated wallpaper doesn't work and just shows up as black (hardware acceleration on and Angle flag at default and webgpu hardware-accelerated at opera://gpu).
