Does it work in a private window?

Goto the URL opera://settings/content/all, type chasertool.xyz in the search field and click "Delete displayed data". You might want to try the same thing with google.com and googleapis.com. Maybe even gstatic.com.

Goto the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData and clear "cached images and files" for all time.

While on http://www.chasertool.xyz/GMapAddressToLatLng.html, click the badge at the left of the address field (usually a lock, but a triangle in this case), goto "site settings" and choose "reset permissions". Maybe goto just http://chasertool.xyz/ and try the same. You might want to try the same thing with https://www.google.com/.

@Rexoil I responded at https://forums.opera.com/post/376564 with my suggestion.

For the resolution of the image or wallpaper, you use the best quality you can or desire. You should shoot for at least 1920 x 1080, but 3840 x 2160 or 4096x2160 would be better if you have a source of that quality. No need to take a low-res image/video and upscale it though if it's going to make it look horrible.

See https://github.com/opera-gaming/gxmods/blob/main/mods/Cyberdeck/manifest.json#L23 for an example of using a video wallpaper. When you specify a video file or a wallpaper, you indeed need to provide a first_frame image or the video won't play.

For video files, the audio is not used, so it's best to strip the audio track from the file (with ffmpeg for example) to save space. But, you don't have to.

An mp4 video will indeed work as a wallpaper aslong as Opera can play mp4 files directly in a tab on your system. Using webm will technically be more compatible though.

Try a test mod like this first that just specifies a mp4 video wallpaper for dark mode and nothing else:

manifest.json:

{
    "manifest_version": 3,
    "name": "MP4 Wallpaper",
    "version": "0.1",
    "icons": {
        "512": "512.png"
    },
    "mod": {
        "schema_version": 1,
        "payload": {
            "wallpaper": {
                "dark": {
                    "image": "video.mp4",
                    "first_frame": "firstframe.png",
                    "text_color": "#ffffff",
                    "text_shadow": "#ffffff"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

It could be caused by NordVPN if you have it. Could be caused by Kaspersky if you have it. In both cases, other browsers might work fine and in both cases, you might have to temporarily uninstall them instead of just disabling them to test if they're the ones causing Opera's issues.

@jkreski When I click the Google map, I get an alert that says "Made it to here!" no problem. I get it even with Opera's adblocking and tracking protection turned on.

Does the alert work fine in a private window?

@bavali001 said in error 0xc0000022 when trying to open Opera GX:

Any explanation of why the update breaks would be appreciated.

One case is because you have a launcher.exe in the install folder that's for a different version than the Opera you have installed and you're trying to launch Opera with launcher.exe instead of opera.exe. As for why the mismatch, sometimes an update fails to update both in the root of the install folder correctly (where just uninstalling and reinstall alone won't fix it).

Opera doesn't use launcher.exe anymore though and it won't be present in a fresh install folder and fresh Opera GX shortcuts won't reference it. They'll reference opera.exe like they're supposed to now.

For the non-MS-store version, if it's showing in "Settings -> Apps -> Installed Apps", you need to uninstall it. Then, either way, you need to delete the "Opera GX" folder that's in "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs" (or "C:\Program Files"). The uninstall process does not delete the install folder and leaves a few files in it that can cause issues like you're seeing.

You then need to delete any Opera GX shortcuts (on the desktop, in the start menu and on the taskbar) for the non-MS-store version.

Then, in whatever browser you want, download "Opera_GX_116.0.5366.118_Setup_x64.exe" from https://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera_gx/116.0.5366.118/win/, launch it, click "options", set "install path" to "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera GX", set "install for" to "Current user", adjust all the other options as you like and install.

That will give you a fresh install folder of the non-MS-store Opera GX.

Do not use the MS Store version as its way outdated.

Each Opera window has its own set of tabs. Workspaces in Opera are just a visual separation of tabs in the window. Given that, you should see why all the workspaces are empty when you open a new window. It's because that window doesn't have any tabs yet besides the one (start page or site you opened in a new window).

In other words, workspace "test" in one window and workspace "test" in another window are not the same workspace. They're different instances of that workspace.

Given that, Opera would have to change the fundamentals of how it handles tabs or set up some kind of workspace syncing across windows to do what you want. It's probably technically possible, but not something simple. You're not the only one that's asked for this though.

For an alternative for now, you can try one of the extensions at https://chromewebstore.google.com/search/autoplay. Some are just for Youtube. Others are for all sites.

In Windows, goto "Settings -> Apps -> Default Apps", scroll down to the bottom and click "Choose defaults by file type". Then, type .png in the search field, click "Choose a default" for ".png" and pick the program you want to handle png files. For example, you can set it to the Windows "Photos" app or Opera or another browser.

Another way to do things is to right-click on a png file, goto "open with", click "choose another app", pick the app you want and click "always".

Make sure Opera's window is not maximized so that you can see at least part of your desktop. Then, on the tab in question, drag the badge at the left of the address field (usually the lock icon) and drop it on your desktop. That will create a shortcut for that tab that will launch in the default browser on the system when you double-left-click it.

@Gv56 Open up a new tab, type opera://bookmarks, press enter, left-click on "Speed dial" in the left-hand pane to open the folder in the right-hand pane, focus the right-hand pane and paste there.

Make sure you go into the "Speed dial" folder and left-click the background of the right-hand pane. Or, keep right-clicking in the right-hand pane till you see "paste" in the menu.

You can try right-clicking for "select all" and "copy" in the source folder too if you don't want to use the keyboard shortcuts.

Hit ctrl + a to select them all, hit ctrl + c to copy them. Then, go into the "Speed dial" folder and hit ctrl + v to paste those copies.

@burnout426 Testing, I don't think it will help.

What if you drag the shortcuts that you create on your desktop to the taskbar (and keep the desktop shortcuts there)? Does that make the taskbar buttons behave as expected?

Opera Developer has Bluesky by default now. Maybe the support will eventually trickle down to Opera GX.
