Yeah, that's messed up. Confirmed.

I'd be happy with each private window being separate instead of them all sharing the same session. Something that should be implemented in Chromium so that Opera just inherits it.

You could be running into this issue. (Two different ways to fix it listed there. It happens with fresh installs of Windows 10 and major updates of Windows 10)

Download the Opera installer, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder named "Opera Test" on your desktop, set "install for" to "standalone installation", uncheck "Import data from default browser" and install. Test in that Opera, but do not enable Opera Sync and do not install any extensions.

Does it crash in that Opera too?

Vivaldi (another Chromium-based browser like Opera) has this. Check it out. However, the way Vivaldi's UI is draw is different than most Chromium-based browsers, which makes it easy/possible to do stuff like tab stacking.

In Chrome, goto the URL chrome://flags/#tab-groups, set it to enabled and relaunch Chrome. Then, you can right-click on tabs to add/remove them from a group. Or, if you open a link in one tab in a new tab, they'll automatically because a group. But, as you will see, they're not stacked and the group name takes up a spot in the tab bar. Something like this might be easier/possible for Opera to implement. But, it's not as good.

For now, you might find an extension at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions that can manage tabs. There might be one that groups or stacks them. But, the groups or stacks will probably be in a menu or something when you click the extension's button and not on the tab bar.

Goto opera://settings/handlers and delete mail.google.com from the list.

Goto opera://settings/siteData, type google.com in the search field and remove all shown.

Close Opera, open it and goto mail.google.com.

Click through different messages and back etc. till you get the pop-up. Then, block it again. Also, confirm that it's in opera://settings/handlers again.

If that still doesn't do the trick, I wonder if an extension or adblocker is interfering with something.

I tested myself in Opera and with it blocked, I don't see the pop-up anymore.

Quite a few posts about this on https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/ too. At least one user posted that everything is working now. Not sure what happened, yet.

@zauberfritz

Goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "profile" path.

Turn off the bookmarks bar and close Opera.

In the profile folder, open the "Preferences" file with JSONedit.

In JSONedit under root/bookmarks_bar, there should be a boolean named "show_on_all_tabs" and it should be set to "false".

Is that value there for you and is it set to false? If it's still set to "true", Opera is indeed not saving your setting.

While Opera is still closed, set it to false and save your changes.

Does Opera work fine then? If not, close Opera and delete the "show_on_all_tabs" object and save your changes. Then try again.

Anyone here use Bitdefender and or Sandboxie? Those are known to interfere with Opera.

Even if you consider this a workaround, going through these tests might help find what the issue is so Opera can fix it.

(Note that the bookmarks bar is supposed to come back on now when you add a bookmark to it. So, if you're just doing that, then that's expected. If you shut it off (whether there are bookmarks on it or not) and it just appears when you start Opera without doing anything, then that's definitely something messed up.)

@lukeatreides said in Not accepting .webm or .mp4 for custom animated wallpaper anymore?:

But I will say, this used to be easier

It looks like some Chromium API changes broke loading webm directly. No guarantees, but there's hope that direct webm loading will work again in the future. It's not a simple fix, so it might take a while. Again, no guarantees. Consider building the zip file with the webm and persona.ini in it to be the correct and official way of doing it now.

In addition to my above comment, download the Opera installer, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to a folder named "Opera Test" on your desktop, set "install for" to "standalone installation", uncheck "Import data from default browser" and install. Test in that Opera, but do not enable Opera Sync and do not install any extensions.

Does it stay off then? Try turning it on and then back off. Does it stay off then. Try turning it on, restarting Opera, turning it off, restarting Opera and trying again.

If you can't reproduce the problem there and you tried my previous suggestion above in your normal install, then your Opera probably might just be messed up. Specifically, something with the "Preferences" file might be messed up.

@warzcube said in Visual indication that opened page was updated:

a visual indication that allows us to see tabs that have not been opened

Vivaldi has this under Settings -> Tabs. The setting is called "Use unread indicators". Check it out to see how it could work in Opera.

In Vivaldi, by default, there isn't a bookmarks folder named "Bookmarks Bar". The bookmarks bar just shows all bookmarks and folders (including the "Speed Dial" folder). As in, the top-level "Bookmarks" folder is the bookmarks bar, So, right off the bat, that's nice.

But, there's more. Each folder under "Bookmarks" has a "Bookmarks bar" checkbox. If you check it, it changes the bookmarks bar folder to that specific folder so that what shows on the bookmarks bar is everything in it instead of the top-level "Bookmarks" folder.

It's definitely different that way, but nice when you get used to it. With the default of the top-level "Bookmarks" folder being the bookmarks bar, you don't have to separate bookmarks between the bar and other bookmarks (or make copies).

If you want to set things up like Opera instead, you can create a folder named "Bookmarks Bar", set it as the bookmarks bar and create a folder named "Other bookmarks" to put your non-bar bookmarks in.

Also, in the bookmarks manager, for each folder, there's a "Speed Dial" checkbox so that you can make each folder also be a speed dial folder if you want.

Opera could do some of the same, which might help your case if you're willing to have everything in bookmarks show on the bookmarks bar. However, for your wish specifically, if you could check "Bookmarks bar" for more than one folder at a time and have it available to check for individual bookmarks themselves, that'd allow you do to what you want while keeping your folder structure and while not making copies and while not even having to create shortcuts.

You can try opera://flags/#enable-parallel-downloading.

I remember looking at this before and couldn't a way to disable webp. However, for saving purposes, https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-image-as-type/gabfmnliflodkdafenbcpjdlppllnemd might help. But, you probably read that here in the second thread you posted.

So, yeah, an option would be great. If you get this implemented in Chromium, Opera should automatically inherit it.

Don't know. Might have something to do with install leftovers in the temp directories or messed-up Opera autoupdate scheduled task or corrupted program files.

Delete all files and folders in "C:\Windows\temp" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\local\temp".

Uninstall Opera through settings in Windows, and choose to keep your data (if you want).

Delete Opera's program files folder if it's still present. See the URL opera://about for the install path before you do all of this.

Load up the Windows Task Scheduler and delete any Opera entries that remain.

Then, download the offline Opera install from https://www.opera.com/download, launch it, click "options", check that all the settings are set to your likeing and install.

Then, see how things go from there. might be better with a more thorough uninstall/reinstall like that.

Opera is based on Chromium and Chromium uses the system's network stack. So, I think you have to modify something in the Windows registry to do this (If Opera even honors the setting). Of course, doing so might affect a lot of other programs/apps.

You can look in https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/ for "timeout" and "max" etc., but I don't think there are any switches to override Windows in this case.

Here's the keep alive timeout: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/813827/how-to-change-the-default-keep-alive-time-out-value-in-internet-explor but according to https://superuser.com/a/1110259/6488, it might not work anymore. You can try it at your own risk though.

Chrome doesn't ask, so I'm guessing Opera purposely was made to ask you for security reasons. Not sure how to turn off asking.

@peterklein said in paying by ideal doesn't work, version 63.0.3368.88:

paying by ideal

Are you talking about iDEAL?

If so, list the steps on how it's supposed to work. Do you do it on their website or do you use an extension?

If you goto the URL opera://settings/payments is iDEAL not listed in there for autofill like you want it to be?

Is iDEAL not listed in opera://settings/content/paymentHandler?

In opera://settings/privacy, do you have "Allow sites to check if a payment method is saved"?

Were things working before?

Before you turn it off again:

• Goto the URL opera://bookmarks and make sure there are no bookmarks in the "bookmarks bar" section. If there are, move them to the trash and then empty the trash.

• Goto a page (like example.com or something), click the heart icon in the address field, switch the save location to "other bookmarks" and click "done".

Then, turn the bookmarks bar back off if "switching to "other bookmarks" didn't do it automatically.

If none of that works, Opera may be having an issue saving to its files in the profile folder (path can be found in opera://about). Or, maybe there's some extension triggering the behavior.

@zauberfritz said in History Page is broken | Opera 60 (62):

I lost all my history, but now it seems to be back.

Yeah, from my understanding, the missing entries on the page were just hidden due to a bug. They weren't actually gone.
