There is no option to sync your stuff with your Opera account, to facilitate a lot your life... Which makes this great browser useless, you're just forced to use the regular Opera. Why? It's a real shame...

I click "Update needed" but nothing happens.

@GuillaumeD said in [Touch]Sync bookmarks and passwords etc:

same as @david27.
Actually, for those who have Opéra on PC/Apple and an android smartphone, the choices are on android :

• Opera : for password sync but without Flow, and old technologie
• Opera Touch : new technologie, Flow, without password sync.

The main feature in 2020 for web browsing between smartphone and PC/Apple, is to sync password !
Without it, Opera Touch is useless.

Exacly. When I'm on my phone I'm usually in a hurry, I don't have the time to be typing usernames and passwords, especially on touch keyboards which are so prone to error.

Is it possible to set GX Corner as New Tab?

The Portuguese (Portugal, not Brasil) spell checking is outdated, it's not up to date with the spelling agreement that came into use in 2009, which brought a lot of changes. It's still using the old one and it's very annoying, when will it be updated?

Facebook was quite slow on my Opera GX too, after scrolling for like 30 seconds it starts getting more and more slow. No problems on the other browsers. Problems like this usually are because of some extension, in my case it was because of the WOT (web of trust) extension.

@leocg said in sidebar messengers too cpu intensive:

@david27 How is the behavior in a normal tab?

Better, but it still has random spikes. I'm not sure if it's the sidebar apps fault, but I think it's likely. Every 15-20 seconds the cpu load goes up and my fans start to spin lie crazy for about 3 seconds. I guess it's normal, those apps are always communicating to refresh/update themselves.

One of the most pointless extensions I've ever seen, you need to have the Outlook tab opened for it to work, if you close it, it immediately disconnects. What's the point?

I've isolated it to WhatsApp, facebook is fine, it's WhattsApp, especially when the phone os connected and they're communicating.

Facebook messenger and WhatsApp in the sidebar are too heavy on resources, my CPU has spikes to 100% load like every 15 seconds. Maybe it's something to be improved...

I thought I had created my username as David, nor david, but apparently I didn't, or it automatically changed? I've found this old thread about this topic: https://forums.opera.com/topic/29064/when-or-how-we-can-use-capital-letters-in-the-user-name
But I see many users here on the forums with capital letters, so it can be done?

Very useful, because Outlook's built-in browser notifications are only available for Edge.

Complements Avast's phishing protection.

@Pata-cakes You and many people exaggerate too much. I'm using Avast free, I rarely get any notification to upgrade to premium, after you ignore/disable the first ones righ after installing, it's all peaceful. Same as when I was using Kaspersky. I will never pay for an antivirus, there are really great free ones, more than enough protection. I only pat for two "apps"; Netflix and Spotify. Nothing else justifies giving away money.

@Pata-cakes said in Is anyone use Kaspersky for your browser ???:

@david27

The laziness would be both sides. they need two to tango. whether that's one side refusing to work together, or both sides just never getting around to collaborating support between the other company its a shame to see.

If renaming oepra.exe to chrome.exe works, it just means that it's only up to Kaspersky to add opera.exe to the its browser list so it can detect it. There can't be much else to do. If Opera were incompatible with Kaspersky, renaming wouldn't work. Just look at how the mods talked to me at the thread link I poste above, it's clear that they don't' care. Yandex is a more known browser...
