There's a > at the beginning of the settings page.

This update introduces Paste Protect, a dedicated defense against malicious takeover of your clipboard, which includes code injection attacks such as ClickFix. This is the first release to include it, and it’s enabled by default so give it a try and let us know what you think.

How to test?

Copying and pasting cmd.exe, powershell.exe, regedit.exe, explorer.exe etc. all work fine.

I filed DNA-125261 for this with a testcase to have it checked out at least. No guarantees.

For now, you can goto the URL opera://discards in a new tab and snooze/discard the tabs you want.

Upgrade to Opera 133 if you haven't and try again.

If still no go, for bookmarks, in Chrome, goto the URL chrome://bookmarks and click the 3 dots at the top right of the page and export your bookmarks to an HTML file. Then, in Opera, goto the URL opera://settings/importData, select "Bookmarks HTML file" in the drop-down and point it to the HTML file. Then, goto the URL opera://bookmarks and go into the "Bookmarks Bar" folder. You should then see your imported bookmarks where you can move them to where you want if you don't want them there.

For passwords, in both Chrome and Opera, goto the URL chrome://password-manager/settings. In Chrome, export your passwords to a CSV file. In Opera, import that CSV file.

Close Opera (important) and edit the "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Local State" file in a text editor and change the country and country_from_server values from whatever codes they're currently set to to US for example.

Confirmed.

Opera GX now has an option in Early Bird to turn off the shortcuts. Maybe regular Opera will have it eventually.

@wokes said in Scroll active tab issue:

when I click it again, it stays at the top and doesn’t go back down.

That's an intentional change. Due to changes in Chromium, that part was hard to fix and maintain.

Goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera and delete the "Login Data" file in the profile folder so that Opera creates a fresh one.

Do you have vertical tabs enabled in Early Bird and have the sidebar set to auto hide?

You need to enable both developer mode at the top of the opera://extensions page and you need to click the "Details" button for the extension at the URL opera://extensions and enable "Allow user scripts" for the extension.

Also for the extension, you should enable "Allow access to search page results" so the extension works on search page result pages and on pages you got to by clicking on lines on search result pages.

I tested with https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/tampermonkey-beta/ in Opera 132.0.5905.37 64-bit on Windows 11 with a user script for example.com that does alert('test'); and it's working fine.

Site loads no problem in regular Opera (Opera One) 132.0.5905.37 64-bit on Windows 11 in the U.S. for me, for what it's worth.

@amit6630 said in Unable to Add a Custom Site in Custom Site Panels:

Is there a way to enable adding more than five custom sites?

There used to be a way to add more by manually adding entries to the Preferences file, but that hasn't worked for years.

Opera is aware that users want the feature to be a first-class feature and not just an experiment and they are also aware of users wanting the limit raised or removed. I even have a feature request filed as DNA-120562 to increase the limit, but no one has responded in a year and a half.

So, unless something changes, we're still stuck with the limit of 5.

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.
