Try this. When playing a video that's giving you problems, hover over the audio animation icon in the tab so that it no longer animates to see if that improves things. (Not a solution, but a test.)
Also, if the snapshot icon in the address field is blinking blue, hover over it and choose "no thanks" to stop it from blinking.
What do you mean by playback issues? Performance or videos not playing or both?
Some users have recently experienced some regressions in performance. But, that's only been recently with the last few 64 (and now 65) builds.
To export saved passwords, goto the URL opera://settings/passwords and click the kebab menu (3 vertical dots) to the right of "saved passwords".
For the bookmarks export, it's right there on the opera://bookmarks page (in addition to the menu item already mentioned).
I tried to see what the quick access panel was like since I couldn't remember. I couldn't get it working in Opera 64, 63 and 62. I tried Opera 58 and it's working there. Was it actually working in Opera 64 for you and now just not in Opera 65?
@andrew84 said in Opera 65 comes with an improved tracker blocker and redesigned address bar:
I may want to open Bookmarks page instead of that side-panel using the sidebar (the same is with History in future). I think these panels should be optional in sidebar settings (1 toggle button for History and another one for Bookmarks ).
Having the options in the sidebar settings would be great. For now, we at least have the settings in opera://flags.
It was removed because of changes for the redesigned address bar. But, it might come back.
@DanAbiss said in Bookmarks gone?:
@burnout426 No they don't.
Then they are gone unfortunately.
But it did before I reinstall windows.
OK.
Do you know if we have a way to check "old info" on our login via Opera website?
Opera doesn't provide that option.
@DanAbiss said in Bookmarks gone?:
@leocg No. All gone! When checking there it shows as if I have never added anything. I am honestly freaking out.
Are you saying you check the "Bookmarks" file in your old profile that you said you still have on your drive with a text editor and none of your bookmarks are in there? If so, then you're definitely out of luck.
I personally wouldn't trust Sync. It's too brittle. If something weird happens with your profile while Sync is enabled, Sync can interpret that as everything being wiped out by you in that Opera and remove everything form the sync server. I don't trust it.
In the future, definitely goto the URL opera://bookmarks and export your bookmarks. In addition, goto the URL opera://about and take note of the profile directory. Then, close Opera and back up the "Bookmarks" and "Bookmarks Extra" files. And, if you ever replace the Bookmarks and Bookmarks Extra files in an existing profile with your backups, use copies of the backups for replacements just in case the new Opera boogers them up. That way, you'll always have good copies laying around.
Do they show at sync.opera.com?
I don't think it even needs to be an option. Opera should just do as other browsers and do the switch on keydown like you suggest.
In Chromium, when you delete a bookmark, it just gives you an option to undo. For Opera, just think of it as an undo list.
@concretable said in Delete the recycle bin from bookmarks.:
because bookmarks that have been discarded will keep coming back if you do not empty it after deleting the bookmarks.
I've heard some users complain about that when it comes to default-provide speed dials at least. In that case, I don't remember if they were moved out of the trash and put back or just new copies were generated. Has this ever happened for a regular bookmark?
Anything coming out of the trash on its own, seems like a bug to me.
With that said though, in Chrome, I don't mind not having a trash view for bookmarks.
@mathias87 Okay. No problem.

Yes, it works indeed! Thank you @mathias87!
Awesome! Yes, good find @mathias87
@nvmjustagirl said in Deleted desktop icon back on every start:
if only they had copy and pasted the icons properties
Yes. I should have asked that as I still can't figure out how to reproduce this myself so that a bug can be filed to work around it.
Opera uses launcher.exe to load the opera.exe in the latest version folder. If you load opera.exe directly (and pin that to the taskbar), Opera will fix the pinned shortcut so that it has the path to launcher.exe instead of opera.exe. If not, when you launch via launcher.exe, you'll get another taskbar button. Anyway, I think something with that in some circumstance (that I'm not exactly sure of) triggers the desktop icon creation.
@mathias87 and @wdburgdorf , if the deleted desktop icon is still in the recycling bin, can you go in there, right-click it, choose "cut", paste it into another folder besides the desktop, right-click it and goto "properties"? Would be interested in seeing screenshots of the "shortcut" and "details" tabs. Or, at least, post the name of the shortcut and the target. Thanks.
@mathias87 Thanks for the clarification. Maybe that'll work for @wdburgdorf too.
@IST said in Save and sync cookie policies with Opera profile:
What would be nice, if these configs (what options you selected in the cookie agreement) could be saved into the Opera profile and synced between devices.
Is it technically possible?
Yes, it's possible for Opera to provide an option to sync cookie settings.
I can't access the site, even with VPN turned on. But, looking all the lists uBlock Origin uses, I don't see any entries for goyabu.com. So, it doesn't seem like ublock blocks the ads for the site by default. Are you saying that it does by default or do you have to click the uBlock button and blacklist the domain yourself?
For Opera, you could goto opera://settings/adBlockerLists and try selecting more lists. Or, you can try to find a list (searching Google) that has goyabu.com listed in it and add it to the custom lists at the bottom.
Goto the URL opera://flags/#bookmarks-panel and disable it.
@mathias87 said in Deleted desktop icon back on every start:
Hmm...I replaced the existing link sticked to my task bar with the link Opera creates every time I start it.
Seems like it stopped creating a link now.
So, you're saying you unpinned the Opera tasbkar icon you had, started Opera with the desktop shortcut that Opera keeps creating, and right-clicked on that taskbar button when Opera started and choose to pin that? Then, you deleted the desktop icon and it doesn't come back now?
@mathias87 said in Deleted desktop icon back on every start:
Yes, Windows 10. One monitor. No other drive besides "C:".
Okay. Did you change your desktop to a different folder though?
Either way, can you check the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders" key in the registry to see too if you have more than one entry that has a value with "desktop" in it? Can you also check "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders"? @wdburgdorf, can you check this key also?
Can you test in Opera Beta and Developer to confirm that they don't have the issue?
You could right-click and export the key. Then, delete the entry that's not there on your other PC, restart Windows and see if there's any difference. If that doesn't work, restore and delete the other entry to see what happens.
I see the id points to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions{754AC886-DF64-4CBA-86B5-F7FBF4FBCEF5}" which has some properties. I guess you could also compare the settings there between PCs to make sure they're at least right.
