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

Hi.
By pressing STRG+F or F3 the search field/bar in Opera Browser is flapping down from above.
But as effect the Whole page gets shift down.
This is really annoying!

By this sliding of everything visible all text is not readable and you get easily lost your reading position in the text.
This moving all pages down has no positive use.

On some pages this sliding down of the search field changes the whole layout.

Could the Opera search function please be changed with no effects on pages?
Perhaps with an overlaying search field which only covers a small region instead of shifting all.
This would be more professional.
thx

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

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?

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.
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

@leocg isnt it nice to copy&paste it also here?

Mgl. Lösung 2:
Im Opera Task Manager könnte der "Netzwerk Hilfsprozess" störend sein, den man gefahrlos killen könnte.

Quelle:
"workaround" by killing a process in the Opera Task Manager (Shift+ESC).
It is the "Help process network service" which causes too high CPU usage with around 20%.
https://forums.opera.com/topic/54912/opera-browser-with-no-internet-after-restart-from-hibernation

Mgl. Lösung 1:
ich hatte mich schon daran gewöhnt...
Aber nun schaute ich mal öfters im Taskmanager nach und sah, dass AVAST Antivirus nach dem Start die festplatte rotieren läßt mit Update und anderen Services.
Hier könnte ich mir denken, dass Avast die Internet-Verbindung blockiert, um sicherheitshalber erstmal Updates einzuspielen und nötige Tests durchführt.
Während dieser Zeit dürfte es vllt keine sicherheitsrelevante Internet-Verbindungen geben, da keine vollständige Sicherheit bestehen könnte.
Nur Vermutung.
Vllt noch jemand mit sehr starker Antivirus-HD-Nutzung und Verbindungsunterbrechungen?

Zudem sind viele Tabs geöffnet und Avast könnte jeden Tab einzeln untersuchen wollen, was natürlich sehr ähem zeitaufwändig ist.

@leocg ok, i search that too for Opera Browser and want to get informed

And:
Where can i find a list of all Opera Browser features per URL address bar like:

opera://inspect/
opera://about/
opera:config
opera://settings/
opera://flags

Opera option in German.
"Beim Übertragen von Dateien ein Pop-up-Fenster mit der Zwischenablage und den zuletzt heruntergeladenen Dateien anzeigen"

opera://downloads/
Opera Browser crashes evey time i close the download history tab after 2 days of use
First the CPU goes high at 60%, then the HD runs weird full.
Also Avast processes and the Windows process "System" run high every time with that.
After 2 minutes Opera gets stuck and shortly after this goes down most of the time or i have to kill it after 5 minutes of nothing.
Perhaps Antivirus and Opera downloads interfere badly??

@cratte: ok it blocks only whole domains not specific URLs
