@cratte Mine uses a lot less. It depends on what you store there.

If you have open video or media tabs, the browser will store more data in your RAM (open streams) and possibly also in your local storage (stored media files or sections). You can limit the amount of cookies and data that is stored if you set Opera to delete it when you exit at: 'opera://settings/cookies' If you're storing website data on a drive with large file allocation sizes, smaller files will be bloated. I.e. each 0 b file become from 4 kb (normal drive setting) up to 2 MB+ (bad setting for browser drives). You could try to clear browsing data and use the Advanced option under 'opera://settings/clearBrowserData' to do a more thorough data clear. Note that this will make websites forget you, so you might have to log in again. If Opera is unable to clear this data for some reason, you can manually clear it at: '%LocalAppData%\Opera Software\Opera Stable\Cache' (Windows).

@cratte Here regular web addresses are always fully selected when you click on address bar, no matter the browser.

@friedhelm27 yes, this is activated.
BUT Opera fails too often regaining all tabs by restart. 😞
So i use the mentioned workaround once a month, ca all 4. restart. o_O

@burnout426
ok, i deactivated it and wait for it...

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

The search with Strg+F / F3 opens a search field at the top of the web page.
But this let's it scroll down a row And reformat the whole page what is very disturbing 😞
See the screenshots where the top is without search bar:
Opera Browser Search Error page reformat 2022-08-31_034406-vert.jpg
You see that the text and graphics are smaller with the search bar and this has to be rendered every time. o_O

There should be an option to display the search bar at the top or bottom of the browser as an Overlay or floating bar so it would not interfere with the web page.
Perhaps by addon?
thx

@cratte said in Opera Browser with no Internet after restart from hibernation:

Hi.
My Opera Browser often gets no Internet connection with no reason after starting Laptop from hibernation sleep.
The Windows 10 Task Manager shows Evey time following processes with a very high Harddisk usage:
System
Avast Antivirus
Opera Browser
Here in screenshot Avast is on top, but mostly it is System.
Win 10 processes System Avast Antivirus Opera Browser 2022-03-28_165009.png After ca.10 minutes waiting its all OK mostly.

But i found perhaps the guilty process and "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%.
Here a screenshot after its restart with no high CPU:
Opera Browser too high CPU Help process network service 2022-03-28_165352.png
After ending this process all Opera Internet connections are OK.
This does not concern other browsers, only Opera.

My Opera has open 1000 mostly suspended tabs and 1.6 GB RAM usage as to see in the screenshot.

Opera Version:84.0.4316.42
Windows 10 64-bit (WoW64)

Yes, but this is fixed now.

@cratte See https://forums.opera.com/topic/43601/instructions-on-posting-about-problems-in-opera-for-windows/1

@cratte There is a section for it in the forum. You can also use https://opera.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/9/group/11/create/8

On the full history page (opera://history), you can right-click an entry and choose "add link to bookmarks". It will automatically add the bookmark to the bookmark folder you saved to last. And, it will automatically use a name for the bookmark based on the time, domain, title, and query string etc. of the entry so that the bookmark has a unique name. And, if you right-click on a history entry that's already been added as a bookmark, the menu will show a "remove" option to un-bookmark it.

Perhaps items in the history panel could have that option too.

As for dragging, if you drag down on a link on the opera://history page, drag it till its over the bookmarks panel so that it shows, and continue dragging till it's over a bookmark folder (where the folder is then highlighted), and release, the entry will be bookmarked (with no time info for the name though). It just doesn't work from the history panel, which would be nice.

@burnout426 said in Opera Browser: Copy Bookmark URL easily?:

"copy" for a bookmark is only available on the opera://bookmarks page

I also mentioned about it some time ago. This is really strange, taking into account that other browsers(Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi) have 'cut, copy, paste' options for bookmarks bar bookmarks (also for folders).
