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...

@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.
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
Opera doesn't let you know which extensions it removed.
There are only sorting Klicks for all, updates, activated, deactivated:
opera://extensions/
A additional option to show the stopped addons for security reason would be fine
thx

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...

@nawkrzy said in GetThemAll - Any file downloader:

Anyone knows what happend with the GetThemAll extension? It disappeared from the Opera

oh no
only as App...

@cratte Screenshots:

@Keepskite Hidden Extensions, Addons ! o_O
I found you cause i realized the unknown addon "Rich Hints Agent" in the Opera Browser Task-Manager.

The hidden Opera Addon "Rich Hints Agent" vanished as i disabled the addon Copyfish.
In the Opera Task Manager (Shift+Esc) the Addon "Rich Hints Agent" seemed to be coupled with the addon
Copyfish Free OCR Software.

Clue: You have to look clearly at your Opera Task Manager which addons have some "hidden riders"!

Perhaps now i can explain why there were suspicious URL calls which i watched in the logger of the best Addon "uBlock Origin" (uBO), where I couldnt detect the source of them.
I blocked them in uBO by these rules:
||api.yaunel.com^
||videout.ru^
www.yaunel.com: "Data & Advertising Solutions. Successful Retargeting with Yaunel."

I will watch the Opera Task Manager and uBO logger for further fishy activities.
I seems uBO can not detect addon activities

Which are similar Addons?

Hi. uBO is a Very important Addon!

Q: In the network request protocol :
Can i see which tab or addon does the request?

Especially for the background request from frames.
In the details this extra info would be fine.
Or did i overlook it?

thx

ps:
No donations wanted?

@leocg ah, i understand your advice for the Opera Task Manager
But there are 2 objections:
1: There are too much tabs open so i can not see all of them in the Task Manager.
2: The suspicious "subframes" are only visible a very short time, so they are very hard to detect.

I detected the suspicious subframes by sorting tasks alphabetically so they are displayed "in a steady block" very good to see them all at once in a row, as to see in my screenshots.

Therefore i ask for another solution even by uBO protocol.
thx

@leocg frames are part of sites, yes. But which site, tab?

Hi.
With Opera Task-Manager (Shift+Esc) i can see sometimes suspicious URL calls under category "Subframe:" like vi?????.ru.
These Sites were called not be me but perhaps by opened tabs OR by Addons.
And these sites are tracking me i am afraid

I want to detect WHICH source does which network requests and control them.
Is there a protocol option in Opera or in Windows to see and search for all called URLs and Suffixes?

Following question is for sure: Which Addon could control and block these network requests?
With uBlock Origin's Network requests protocol one can block nearly everything, but also Addon requests?
In uBO i can not see from which source (Addon, Tab,) it comes.
Are there Addons to do this?
thx

@DearMadelene use the Opera built in task manager as described and kill the CPU burner - BUT be careful: them are GPU process and sometimes "Renderer".
Try it.

does not work on embedded Google maps?
