hi
wouldnt it be good with the option to add www.ecosia.org to the standard search engines of Opera?
zhx

@burnout426 i also ask in the German forum
https://forums.opera.com/post/190576
But there is not so much response.

Yes, Opera showed a message that it disabled an unnamed addon causing problems.
So I have no link to it.
And i do not remember the reason why Opera did so.
I missed to take a screenshot. Next time.

thx

ps: it seems i "lost" today another addon.
But silently... o_O
I found its icon on an older screenshot.
It is not listed in my addons anymore, even not in deactivated, so it got unasked deleted by Opera.
And i cant find it in addons.opera or chrome.
Who recognizes it by this screenshot?

hi.
Funktionsvorschlag:
Opera sollte bei Addons
opera://extensions/
neben Alle, Updates, aktiviert, deaktiviert
auch alle gesperrten Addons zeigen.
Zumindest bei der Anzeige folgender Meldung könnte der Name des Addons dabei sein:

"Opera hat eines Ihrer Addons auf die Blacklist gesetzt" opera://extensions/ "Wir haben diese Erweiterung als bösartig identifiziert und sie auf die Blacklist gesetzt. Dies bedeutet, dass sie keinen Schaden mehr auf Ihrem Rechner anrichten kann. Sie können es belassen wie es ist, oder sie entfernen."

Wenn man zuviele Erweiterungen besitzt oder deaktiviert hat, dann dauert das suchen danach zu lange.

Jedenfalls ein bisheriger Workaround:
Suchet nach "bösartig" per Strg+F
Dieses Suchwort muss einem nur dann einfallen...

Hi.
I can't find a page because there are only page titles to search in the Opera history
Would'nt it be fine to search also in the running text of pages in history?

A second search field on the Opera history page would do it, or a checkmark.
Opera could search existent cache content of pages and live, not to archive the whole stuff

thx

ps: Yes, i can remember some social browser over 10 years ago with this feature

The Service Worker, Webworker-Case : Where too much RAM+CPU+HD+Internet-Traffic usage could be caused by.

I wanted to make a backup of my Opera Browser profile folder, but it seemed to be too big with over 1 GB. So i searched for reasons. The Cache etc. are normal space consumptioners.

Look for yourself how big them Service Worker folders could explode!
C:\Users\Your Profilename\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Service Worker
Mine were over 400MB!
For an Opera Browser profile backup much too big.
After DIY cleansing they got 60% off size AND Opera Browser also got 40% smaller in RAM and faster in reaction and data transfer over Internet, subjectively

It could be that many users with problems with RAM, CPU usage, Browser speed or hanging Internet should look at this case to solve them.
In my view the security vulnerability of all browsers worldwide is affected by this underestimated browser feature too. I found one case of misusing the service worker a year ago, see below.

Here is my workaround against the Service Worker "Overload".
Please amplify and correct

1. Possibility:
   File Explorer:
   C:\Users\Your Profilename\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Service Worker
   There folders:
   CacheStorage (biggest?)
   ScriptCache
   Database
   To sort files and folders by size i use the XYplorer.

In this folders you could always read the
index.txt
to see which site (mis)uses your HD space.
So i discovered plus 100MB eg from nytimes.com, where i didn't look for years.
I deleted all at once. But this is too time-consuming for evey folder.

2. Poss.:
   Simplier with the address bar:
   opera:serviceworker-internals
   Here you can manualy click unregister per Domain.
   I cleaned all up but supposed important folders like Googlemail, Opera, etc.
   Success: More than 200 MB and 60% shrunked my Service Worker folder!
   But this won't be permanent i'm afraid.

3. Poss:
   Opera developer tools :
   CTRL+Shift+I, Application, Service Worker, Service workers from other origins.
   I did not use this.

4. Poss.:
   Deactivation of Service Worker in the Opera Browser per Addon uMatrix:
   Click on the 3 points points on top of each other to the right of On/Off: Forbid Web Workers.
   This is a stable adjustment i think.

5. Poss.:
   opera://flags
   Search for "service worker".
   Enable/Disable:

• Service worker on UI thread
• Prefetch request properties are updated to be privacy-preserving
  Could be permanent, but this seams to be too unspecific und risky for many sites who do profit from that.

Conclusion:
Options 2 an 4:
opera:serviceworker-internals
Addon uMatrix
They seem to be a good team: First delete non important and then block this permantly by an addon.
But you got to look regularly in your Opera Profile folder "service Worker", otherwise it would blow up too much.

And the problem stays that you can not simply get rid off this data waste.
Not to talk of probably important security risks.

Warning: Playing with web workers an service workers could break some pages!
Yes, for website performance or while staying offline the Service Worker might be useful and necessary, but i never read something positive about it.
Who has got sources?

What do you mean?
thx

ps: Misuse, abuse of Service Worker, Webworker!

Hi.
Man findet keine Backup-Funktion in Opera:
opera://settings/?search=backup

Dabei sollten doch alle Einstellungen wie Suchmaschinen, Passworte uvm. einfach zu sichern sein.
Ist es manuell zu schwierig?
Muss man externe Programme benutzen? Fände ich unsicher.

Deshalb Vorschlag, dass dies rein müsste in Opera
Wo kann ich Vorschläge machen?

hi.
Several times there comes the warning "Blocked insecure content" on the reight edge of the address bar.
You can allow it or not - without knowing exactly what it is?
How could i see what contest is insecure?
Is there an Addon?
I want to choose by knowing whats theatening.
thx

Hi.
I want to move to 64bit.
Will Opera upgrade my 32bit installation automatically or install separately?
Will all my Browser Data be safe and transferred? Also to a possible 2nd installation?

It would be fine if one could choose this upgrade automatically from inside the Opera Browser and not manually.
thx

@burnout426 thx
i changed
tab left = y
tab right = x
last tab = ctrl-shift-y
all on the left hand

My Opera Browser runs high on CPU usage after a while since a week. All restarting useless.
The GPU-Process as to see in the task manager per Shift+ESC is the second most eater after Opera itself.

My suspicion: Facebook eats all CPU power.
I open mostly FB pages and after 20 minutes with opening and closing and reopening serveral FB pages Opera behaves strange and does not load all FB pages but stucks in trying to...

@mr-word "Rich Hints Agent" hatte ich letztes Jahr zufällig entdeckt als eine aktivierte, aber mir unbekannte Erweiterung, doch dann nach Screenshot vergessen.

Beim Opera Task-Manager (Shift+ESC) entdeckt man manchmal bei einigen unbekannte Erweiterungen "Untererweiterungen", die daran "gekoppelt" scheinen.
Hier als Teil von absichtlich installierter "Copyfish Free OCR Software".

Hi.
I want to search and mark 2 terms on some pages.
Perhaps opera could tune up its page search ?
A comma could perhaps solve it:
STRG+F: term1, term2

What do you think?

@priyanaiduofc no menu right hand and no themes to find.
Seraching for Themes or Scrollbar no success.
This has vanished:
https://addons.opera.com/themes/
Only addons allowed?

hi
How could i change the colours of the scrollbar on the right hand?
On every site, always, forever.
thx

@donq yes, your are right.
I looked at my addons on Firefox and found ClearURLs which cleans up URLs.
Because i use now mostly Opera i forgot this
But i installed it on Opera and everything is OK now.
thx

sorry i missed to say that copying the search Google results URL by context in Firefox is clean without tracking code.
But not in Opera.
Thats the point.

hi
When i search with Google i can not copy the link location by context right click correctly.
It always brings a Google tracking URL eg:

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi9usC-5KDuAhXJyaQKHbDzAkEQFjABegQIBBAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stura.uni-osnabrueck.de%2Fsites%2Fstupa.uos.de%2Ffiles%2Fcommon%2Fprotokoll_2007-05-02.pdf&usg=AOvVaw0N1ftzp-YwWcFMLVJfE83d

Correct :
https://www.stura.uni-osnabrueck.de/sites/stupa.uos.de/files/common/protokoll_2007-05-02.pdf

This shit also happens with yahoo and duckduckgo search results. o_O
With ecosia and bing search there is no such tracking or ads link copied to clipboard.

Anyone with the same problem?

@pavelopdev
Changing "Show full URL in combined search and address bar" has no effect on History: The full paths wont be shown.

Yes, the status bar shows the link, but this is not useful.
I want to see all full URLs of my history at once and not slowly one by one with the mouse.

This is still an improvement to do for Opera

Anybody has an addon advice?
thx

Hi.
How could i see the full URL in the Opera Browser history?
I can only see the domain and not the "appendix" after the / at the end.
thx
