In Beta, click the account icon on the address bar and log into your Opera account. Then, click the icon again and click "Sync" to goto the URL opera://settings/syncSetup. There, choose to sync everything (don't choose to create a custom passphrase). Then, close the syncSetup tab to initiate syncing. You can then monitor the syncing at the URL opera://sync-internals and even trigger updates if needed.

Then, goto https://www.sync.opera.com/, log in and confirm your data is there. Then, you can close Beta.

Then, in Opera Stable, log in to your account, goto the syncSetup page, enable syncing of everything, close the syncSetup page and wait for things to come in. Goto opera://sync-internals if needed. After a while, close Opera and open it back up if you have to.

If you need to retry syncing of Opera Stable, you can close it, and delete the "Opera Stable" folders in both "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Opera Software". Then, try syncing again.

Or, for a way to do things without Sync, close both Opera Stable and Opera Beta. Then, in both "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software" and "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Opera Software", delete the "Opera Stable" folder and rename the "Opera Next" folder to "Opera Stable". Or, you can make a copy of "Opera Next" and rename that copy to "Opera Stable" so that Beta still has its folders if you want. It's up to you. This method usually works, but there can always be bugs caused by the profile being run with different Opera versions, so it's good to have backups if you have anything important.

Another way you can do things is via export and import. At the URL opera://password-manager/settings, you can export your passwords in one Opera and import them in another. For bookmarks, you can export your bookmarks at the URL opera://bookmarks and import them by going to the URL opera://settings/importData and choosing "Bookmarks HTML File" in the drop-down. For open tabs, before your export your bookmarks, right-click a tab, goto "save" and choose "all tabs to speed dial folder". Then, repeat for each workspace and window if needed. Then, after importing bookmarks into Opera Stable, you can goto the URL opera://bookmarks, right-click on a folder for open tabs and choose "open all".

@payard You can't set a specific shortcut for a custom site panel. However, at the URL opera://settings/keyboardShortcuts, you can set a shortcut for the "Show sidebar" command to toggle the showing of the sidebar. I like to set it to F4 as that's what old, Presto-based Opera used to use. But, you might want to use a different shortcut.

This is fixed in Opera Developer 126.0.5748.0. At the URL opera://settings/languages, you can add a language, click its 3 dots and check "Display Opera in this language" and it'll actually work.

@donq Same here. Not just you.

@fanman20 Did doing a fresh install fix the issue then?

@Kilian01 Opera had a bug a bit ago *DNA-123982( where you had to call opera-stable instead of opera to launch Opera, but it was verified fixed in 124.0.5705.30. I'm guessing that an update to a build with the fix doesn't fix the issue.

What happens if you uninstall Opera and remove any traces of it (including "opera", "opera-stable" and any aliases) (you can keep your profile in ~/.config) and then install 125 fresh? Does that sort things out? If so, that might be what users have to do to fix things if they have the issue.

No issue here in 125.0.5729.22 on Windows 11. Wonder if it's a macOS-only crash.

What version of macOS?

Is there a "Crash ID" field at the URL opera://crashes for the crash? If so, you can report it and post the bug number and crash ID here.

I tested in Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon (X11) with the deb packages of Opera Stable 125.0.5729.15 and Opera Developer 126.0.5742.0. I can indeed confirm that the --window-position and --window-size command-line arguments are indeed ignored by Opera and work fine in Chrome.

Indeed seems like a bug to me. Filed RNA-1806 as I don't think the issue is known (except by us here).

@RedJacK89 You can disable the "Specific keywords" flag at the URL opera://flags/#specific-keywords and restart Opera if you haven't. Don't know if that will help.

You can goto the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData, switch to "advanced" and clear "Browsing history" and "Download history" for all time. Then, for extra good measure, goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera and delete the "History" and History Journal files in the profile folder. This will only help though if the entry is stuck in history for some reason. If you get the entry in a test standalone installation, that's not going to help.

@bess Hmm, you can try things again, but this time, close Opera and delete the "Sync Data" folder (and any other folders with "Sync" in their names) in the profile folder (profile path shown at the URL opera://about). Repeat for any other Operas you have..

Then, log into https://www.sync.opera.com/ in another browser and reset the passphrase.

Then start Opera and log in to Sync.

If that doesn't do the trick, try that again, but before you start Opera, also delete the "Bookmarks", "Bookmarks.bak" and "BookmarksExtras" files in the profile folder before you start Opera. Then, don't import your bookmarks from the HTML file you have yet. Instead, log into Sync and sync bookmarks.

If everything is fine then, look at the HTML file in a text editor to see if there are any trashed bookmarks. If so, remove their entries manually before importing the HTML file back into Opera.

I'm guessing that your Opera profile is reintroducing those trashed bookmarks, so you have to clear the stuck Sync Data so that doesn't happen.

At the URLs opera://about and opera://version, if it shows "125.0.5729.15", you have the newest version that's available at this moment.

Then, you can enable the "Opera AI" flag at the URL opera://flags/#ai-chat-in-side-panel and restart Opera. Then, Aria should be gone and you should see the new AI at the right of the address bar.

@VitaliyNice said in How to enable RawDraw on Opera?:

I had 8gb memory then I installed 16 and opera eats more with this why?

The more RAM you have, the more Chromium might cache things in RAM.

You can hit shift + esc in Opera to look at its task manager to see the description for a specific process that is using a lot of RAM. Then, you can decide if that process is using too much based on what it's actually doing.

You can close Opera and start it like this in a command prompt:

"%localappdata%\Programs\Opera\opera.exe" --enable-features=RawDraw

to see what happens. You can goto the URL opera://gpu then to see if it say it's enabled.

No guarantees it will work and no guarantees that Opera will be stable with it.

You can see if you can find a bug about it in https://issues.chromium.org/issues?q=kazakh and if not, file a report there.

Same issue in Chrome. Must be a Chromium issue. Probably the language isn't really supported.

I agree. I often have to tell users that it's a toggle.

There's the "Scrollable tab strip" flag at the URL opera://flags/#scrollable-tab-strip. If enabled, there will be an "Enable tab scrolling when many tabs are open" option at the URL opera://settings/userInterface that you can enable. If you open enough tabs, you'll see a skinny scrollbar above all the tabs that you can left-click, hold and drag. Or, you can use the mouse wheel (if the tab tooltips don't get in the way).

However, the feature is kind of buggy. If you're using Opera GX, it might even cause Opera to crash when you enable the setting.

Another downside is that it doesn't prevent tab-width shrinkage, so it's not really what you want. But, you can try it out to see if you like it.

You can enable syncing of just bookmarks in a test standalone installation to see if it pulls in those trashed bookmarks at the URL opera://bookmarks. If so, you can empty that test Opera's trash to see if that then clears those trashed bookmarks from the server.

Before you do that, in your regular Opera, you might want to use the drop-down at the bottom left of the opera://bookmarks page to export your bookmarks to an HTML file. You might want to goto the URL opera://password-manager/settings and export your passwords to a CSV file too just in case. Sync sometimes gets confused and can wipe out things.

Besides that, if those trashed bookmarks are not in any synced Opera, the only way to get rid of them is to goto https://www.sync.opera.com/ and click "reset passphrase" wipe out all your data on the Sync server and start over. When doing this, the data in your Opera should resync to the server, but don't rely on it. Back up things just in case.

Going to the URL opera://settings/enhancedAddressBar, disabling promoted suggestions and restarting Opera (important) usually gets rid of them for users.
