Ok, I'm starting to like Opera, and I'll become my default browser only if I can find a way, to remove that disgusting Google search bar inside the Speed Dial page. I just don't like it, is useless, unnecessary, and takes a lot of space.
How do I remove it? Thanks for read me.
I suggest an exception list for VPN to be able to access some web sites directly, without VPN.
In my country there are some web sites with IP filtering feature so I want to visit them without VPN while using VPN for the rest.
If that option isn't available in your version of Opera, simply hit the Opera button on top left and change the zoom. I have to set mine at 90% to get all seven columns. It also does not affect other tabs, just the speeddial page. Also, future upgrades and deleting history settings seems to reset back to 100% so you'll have to change it again if you suddenly notice that it's wonky.
I like to open many websites and so it occurs a problem in using Opera. Because when Opera open many tabs, the name and icon of each tab will be hided like this examle. And then it make difficult and uncomfortable to find which is desired tab.
I would like Opera developer make new features as this.
Enable user can set "Tab bar" to multiple lines or a single line.
When user set "Tab bar" to multiple lines, user can assign how many tabs in each line or automatically.
Enable user can select to set automatically hide all "Close tab button" and automatically show only when mouse cursor position is stay over that tab or not.
As we all know lot of big smartphone manufacturers are using AMOLED displays in their flagship devices and also some other, smaller brands are following the trend. That trend is also slowly coming to Windows tablets, with Samsung being a leader in that area with their Galaxy TabPro S, 12'' Windows 10 flagship tablet, MS Surface pro 4 competitor. This year they are releasing updated model. To make long story short, hex black color (#000000) pixels on AMOLED screen are turned off, thus they don't use battery at all. Other dark pixels, if they are not hex black are not turned off but they also save a lot of battery. Darker the color, bigger the battery savings. Because of that I have following requests: (please note that screenshots used are from smartphone browsers, but the idea and meaning of written is same for Windows browsers)
inverted colors display
This is by far most important feature in order to save battery while surfing, and it also improves visibility outdoors without increasing brightness. Most webpages have white background and black text, and by using this feature it automatically invert colors meaning we would have white text on black backgorund. Here: http://imgur.com/a/R16Dp you can see webpage opened in Lightning Browser in inverted colors mode, it is "smart" enough not to invert photos or videos. Huge battery savings there.
AMOLED skin
Lot of mobile browsers has this and I think Windows Opera should have it too. Please take a look here: http://imgur.com/a/gJKyd - this is Puffin browsers dark theme, Lightning browser AMOLED theme is almost identical. Dark grey adress bar background and little bit lighter grey for url/search letters. Actually when you are typing letters are white so that you can clearly see, and when you hit enter they become grey. Everything else is hex black color (#000000). So much better on eyes and battery too. Ok, this is example from mobile browser but still, AMOLED theme should have hex black bar (all of them hex black, menu, controls, bookmarks), and dark gray background address bar and little bit lighter grey for url/search letters.
Those 2 suggestions combined, could save up to 30% battery while surfing. There are not so many AMOLED tablets, that is true. But Samsung flagship is there, and every Samsung flagship tablet is going to be AMOLED, and I am sure more and more manufacturers will follow.
Thanks!
I like find selected text in page feature in Firefox, how can i get this feature in Opera? I want when i select a text in a page and then press Command + F opera start searching selected text in current page.
I'm with mb on this one. I've added your suggestion in the Suggestion Box since I was unable to find where you did this on June 3rd.
kc0886... just scroll down from the Overview to the Suggestion box and you'll find the thread there.
Is there any way to customise the location of the "X" icon to close a tab? I'm coming from Firefox where it's on the right and now it's on the left I keep accidentally closing my tabs. Is there any setting to change this?
When creating your Gravatar account, be sure to use the same email address you used to open your Opera account. If you already have a Gravatar account, you can add an additional email address (the one you've associated with Opera) to assign a new Gravatar in the Opera forums.
But if you use Gravatar with a mail address, you can be tracked and identified on other webpages, even if you want to be anonymous.
Automattic as US company is not very concerned about privacy.
Since it is not an official survey, what is the point?
The link is not accessible to everyone. When using a VPN, it wants you to create an account, which makes it seem as if you are trying to collect something else (referrals; affiliate programme?). I still would not create an account.
Yes, please.
Was ist überhaupt eine Mailingliste?
Wie kann ich erreichen, dass sowas bei mir nicht entsteht?
Ich muss ab und zu eine ellenlange Liste von "Mailinglisten" löschen. Das nervt, und man hat das Gefühl, dass da ohne eigenes Zutun dauernd was im Gange ist, hintergrundmäßig.
Also: Kann ich diese "Mailinglisten" völlig weg kriegen?
Daraus kann ich aber nicht ersehen, warum ohne mein Zutun diese vielen Mailinglisten-Adressen gelistet werden. Ich würde gern gefragt werden, wenn in meinem Mailbereich etwas "von außen" angebracht werden soll.
Ebenso wüsste ich halt gern, wie man sich, falls gewünscht, von der Teilnahme an Mailinglisten gänzlich ausschließen könnte.
opera's adblock filtering might not be absolutely perfect, but certainly good enough for me.
while it may not catch every last advert compated to ublock (on some of my setups), but sfw: i don't get annoying ads and can easily switch off the adblocker for visiting websites i like and want to support by allowing their adverts.
opera has got bigger fish to fry, imo.
I'm also very disappointed to see so much unwanted news when I start the latest release. I have more appropriate apps installed for news reading. When out with my mobile phone I tend to want easy access to a small number of websites, forums, blogs etc. A speed dial style start up page is all I need. I'm already looking forward to the next release which hopefully will take into consideration the adverse feedback about this matter which I'm seeing posted here and on the App Store.
Only indirectly:
go to Opera settings, "Browser" tab, Start page section.
Select Use small Speed Dial thumbnails, and/or increase the number of columns to be uses in the Speed Dial:
Maximum number of columns:
a long tap on the input field offers to add the search engine to the selection list. works in most cases, not with ixquick/startpage.
no permanent selection in mini (yet), opera4android only just recently got this feature in the 37.2 beta version.
you could leave a note about this in the suggestion box below, other users might come forward to support you.
With Turbo active Opera browser seems to ignore IPs in local networks.
I cant connect to local webserver 192.168.10.100 on my LAN with Turbo active.
But the IP is reachable with Opera and Turbo off.
The Browser should know, that 192.168.. is a local network and can not be reached by a external proxy service like Turbo!
An other problem are local hostanames like fritzbox.local or router2.intern, these are not reachable with Opera + Turbo. But these hostnames are resolvable by PCs and other browsers.
Opera browser should know thesee hostnames resolve to local IPs and therefore the external Turbo servers should not be used.
This seems to be a Opera bug.

Здравствуйте! Не могу просмотреть свои сохраненные пароли через пункт настроек "управление сохраненными паролями". Когда нажимаю на "показать", опера предлагает мне ввести пароль от компьютера, но у меня не стоит пароль. Раньше пароль на компьютере был, но я его удалил, а опера видимо до сих пор считает, что моя учетная запись на компьютере запаролена. Что делать в такой ситуации?

I want to upload a custom image as a thumbmail.
It's so obvious it would be a nice feature.
