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.

@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...

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

Guess its time to move on from opera. I like the browser but if its not secure or compatible with kaspersky, and I paid for kaspersky i will need to move browsers instead.

If they're not compatible, it's due to Kaspersky's laziness or just not wanting to, not Opera's fault. On Kaspersky's forum they will tell you to rename opera.exe to chrome.exe as a possible workaround.... because that way Kaspersky will detect Opera, thinking it's chrome. Then they will thell tell you that Opera isn't famous enough, Yandex is more known apparently... https://community.kaspersky.com/kaspersky-internet-security-13/opera-browsers-support-not-forum-resolvable-therefore-closed-8425
Since you're paying for Kaspersky ok, but for people using a free antivirus, just change to Avast, it supports Opera and it's a better and more complete antivirus.
