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.
I often copy URLs out of my bookmarks.
But you can not copy the URL adress easily.
It is annoying to always edit a bookmark bevore you can copy its URL adress...
This would be fine to have in Opera

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

Hi.
I want better predictive search suggestions in the combined address and search bar for known URLs or history.
Opera regards only correct written terms from their beginning like "Search".
This means no inner text as fragment is being regarded, eg "earc" for "search" for auto suggestion and complete.

But in Facebook and others it is allowed and useful for autocomplete prediction to only use a fragemnt of a term, URL or search word.

So Opera should also have this feature
thx

Opera Browser Backup - hier einige Möglichkeiten:

Manuell findet man das Profil-Verzeichnis hiermit:
opera://about/
C:\Users\BenutzernameXY\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable
Dies kann man komplett kopieren, oder nur bestimmte Ordner.
Der dortige Unterordner:
\Service Worker
kann sehr groß sein, weshalb man vorher vllt mal dort aufräumen sollte:
opera://serviceworker-internals/

Folgende Backup-Porgramme habe ich gefunden, allerdings ohne diese bislang zu testen:

Opera auf Windows 10 zeigt anscheinend seine eigenen Addons, Erweiterungen, die von Haus wohl installiert werden OHNE Nachfrage!, mit einem blauen Puzzle-Icon an.
Der Rich Hints Agent ist dabei, wie auch die Erweiterung "Opera Touch Background", wie auch "Background Worker".

Letzteres ist wohl genutzte Eigenschaft mindestens aller Chrome-Browser, ua Google nutzt Webworker.

Es könnte sein, dass Opera ua Browser mit versteckten Addons aufrüsten, was einfacher zu sein scheint.

Das Addon "Rich Hints Agent" lebt unbemerkt weiter.
Schaut im Opera Task-Manager mal nach, es versteckt sich unter anderen...
"behind-the-scene" geht da einiges bei Opera... o_O

Hi.
Hitting F3 should do the same search job as before i think.
But Opera seams to have lost its search word memory.
So i have to type it eveytime again... o_O
Is this adjustable by some settings?
thx

This topic is modern and gets not old like the forum algo wants to tell us.
Memory consumption will never get solved.

My solutin, workaround against RAM loss with Opera and all Chrome Browsers:
Kill the renderer processes.

This brutal method shows no negative effects the last months for me.
Positive: Memory gain
Renderer processes appear and grow for every new tab, read below.

This is my method, use at your own risk!

"Memory Usage Backgrounder.
Chromium Memory Usage.
Here is some background information if you are measuring memory in Chromium.
Multi-Process Model Background.
To understand Chromium's memory usage, let's understand the multi-process model. Unlike other browsers, Chromium is divided into multiple processes.
When Chromium starts up, it will initially have two processes. One process is the browser process which controls the main browser functionality, and the other is the initial renderer process, which runs the Blink rendering engine and JavaScript (V8).
Each time you open a new tab in Chromium, you'll likely get a new renderer process. With typical browsing, it is common to see 5-7 chrome.exe processes active.
Further, if you utilize plugins, apps, or extensions, they may also execute within independent processes.

Hi.
I want to drag visited URLs from history panel to the bookmark panel.
But this is not possible.
How could i do this with in other ways?
thx

Hi.

This would be fine to have in Opera

@leocg said in Opera Sync failes saving tabs?:

@cratte Of course, it's the second option.

Try deleting/renaming the newest ones and rename the olders with the new one's name.

OK, thanks! All works fine, all tabs have been restored!

Opera copies a new instance of the Session file in that folder by restart, this is also what makes restart slowlier.

I thank you very much!

This Opera session crashs found all over the forums should be an urgent warning for the Opera developers to solve this.

ps : Yes, i got some session saver addons but did not use them regularly.
Last backup as bookmarks in 3.2021.
