I spoke to PayPal and flagged this as something for them to look into. Unless you specifically turn off VPN before using PayPal (on eBay even), PayPal stops working and doesn't say why. It's not just Opera's, but all VPNs.
Is it possible yet to exclude particular domains from VPN?
Thanks for replying. I tried to remove my last comment but Opera Software seem to have removed that feature.
Opera's slowness without extensions seemed to be a different issue I've never seen before: it caused slowness with the swapfile. Reboot seems to have fixed it.
So still testing.
Makes no difference without extensions. It's a bug or 'feature' since Opera 36.
Could be something to do with Facebook or the 180+ tabs I have hibernating.
Since Beta auto-updated to 36, I started having memory problems with Opera. It's possible this coincided with a new extension.
Anyone else having problems or should I start disabling extensions?
There's a nice extension that does an old-style speed dial. As indicated in the comments, you can also make it replace the current speed dial.
Only problem so far is you have to set your speed dial entries again.

browser://flags/#tab-hibernation
It's probably one of my extensions but Opera is hogging my PC's memory these days.
I've seen zero evidence that Tab Hibernation is working and I've found a Chrome extension that performs a similar function:

I know OS memory management is pretty complicated.
Anyone got answers?
PS. Zoomed reply preview uses only half popup box and bleeds over right margin on your own forums... Using v31.0.1889.16 (current beta).
Unhelpful replies. This should be core functionality of every browser.
Nonetheless, I found a Chrome extension that has similar functionality:
I basically want to be able to switch from 'Delete upon exit' to 'Accept' temporarily. This is to accept a long term cookie for the sake of logins on trusted websites.
I suspect some programming will be involved?

Never got it to work.
Found this - much much much better.
You can set per-domain proxy settings, including wildcards & regexps. You need to set it to Auto Switch Mode.
Yes I couldn't get sync to work.
The import process overwrites all settings:

So doing that first, then copying Profile excluding Bookmarks.* mostly did the trick. Bookmarks Bar seems to be a special Bookmarks folder so I think need to do those manually.
Cool. I've broken a profile going backwards from Developer to Next/Stable so I guess I should just keep a backup before doing it.
So Opera Link?
Basically, I want to use Opera 25. I'm currently using 23.
Is there an easy way to do this yet?
Also, I take it Opera Link doesn't work on Blink Opera yet? I have a set of bookmarks I wish to import from Opera 12 on a different PC.
Using Internet Options/Properties -> Connections -> LAN Settings -> Use Automatic Configuration Script?
That's not working either. Tried with/without double quotes on the filename.
Tried:
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
proxies = [
["127.0.0.1:9050", "onion"] ,
return "DIRECT";
}
And tried:
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
proxies = [
[ "127.0.0.1:9050", "onion"] ,
for (var x = 0; x < proxies.length; x++)
for (var y = 1; y < proxies[x].length; y++)
if (host == proxies[x][y] || shExpMatch(host, "*." + proxies[x][y]))
return "PROXY " + proxies[x][0];
return "DIRECT";
}
(I don't know what the second bit does).
I added --proxy-pac-url= to the shortcut and it doesn't seem to do anything.
Make that --proxy-pac-url=< "C:\pac-script.txt" > without the spaces. < > seem to be control codes.
Doesn't seem to work for Opera 15+. I added --proxy-pac-url=<"C:\pac-script.txt"> to the shortcut and it doesn't seem to do anything.
Yeah forums don't seem like an improvement.
Is this in Opera yet? It's really important for using TOR and making sure you don't accidentally leave a trail back to yourself on the same IP in another tab.
