@mgeffro said in Opera adding bookmarks to speed dial all the time:

• Make sure flag opera://flags/#partner-bookmarks-opt-out is enabled
• Go to opera:settings
• Disable 'Receive promoted Speed Dials and Bookmarks'

As of Opera 57.0, the description seems to switch the meaning of Enable/Disable:

Partner bookmarks opt-out option

Option which allows opting-out from receiving new partner bookmarks. – Mac, Windows, Linux

But the default is [E], meaning everyone is opted out by default which seems impossible to me... is the wording of this option switched around to the opposite of the actual setting?

@sgunhouse I tried the prototype bookmark manager just now, and found a couple more issues with it:

• Doesn't seem to have a list view (only thumbnail view)
• Trash folder takes a few clicks to render and there's no option to empty it
• the Search doesn't work but you guys probably already know that one

The dark theme looks awesome though, really looking forward to just that haha

On Chromium, when searching for a bookmark in the bookmark manager, you can click the 3-dots next to the search result and click "Show in folder" to reveal where it was saved. Opera's bookmark manager does not seem to have any way to do this.

Reasons to have this feature:

• When a bookmark is found by search but not in the folder I expect, there is no way to find out which folder it's actually in (other than to export bookmarks, import into Chromium, search for it there, reveal which folder it was in, then come back to Opera and manually click to that folder). Obviously you could just delete the bookmark and add it again, but then you'll never know where it actually was, it will forever be a mystery.

• Sometimes I find a duplicate bookmark (usually from Imported bookmarks), so I want to keep the new one and delete the old imported one. But without being able to see the folder path of each bookmark, I don't know which one to delete.

Suggested solution:

There are currently two columns in the bookmark manager's search result: Description and URL. I would suggest adding a third column that contains the bookmark path. It would be read-only, and clicking it would take you to that folder.

The context menu when right-clicking on a tab in Chromium allows you to Bookmark all tabs. This displays a modal for you to type a folder name and choose where to save the bookmarks.

On Opera, the only option is to save to an untitled folder in Speed-dials.

Could we please also have the Chromium-like way of doing it as well?

The reason is that I used to just put up with having a bunch of folders at the bottom of my speed-dials, but even on a hexacore PC it lagged massively when dragging/dropping anything. I end up having to do clean-ups frequently where I'd move them all to "Other bookmarks". This wouldn't be a problem if I could've saved them where I wanted them from the start instead of letting them pile up into a mess.

+1 for dark bookmark manager, especially because extensions aren't allowed to modify it

@leocg Worked, thanks! Thought it was a regression, but was just a new feature... anyway, goodbye again Chrome, back to Opera!

@alexanderby hey thanks for confirming the problem with the update, and also thanks for your work on Dark Reader. I'm impressed how far it has come from the early days... even difficult sites look like they have a native dark theme now. It's gotten so good at handling all websites I frequently use that I don't even need to use Stylish anymore

I wasn't going to wait around for Opera to fix (or decide not to fix) their issue, and I don't want to work without dark pages, so I switched to Chrome yesterday... it's been a smooth transition, the only thing I really missed are keyboard shortcuts, but found an extension to solve that

@leocg could you please link me to a source for that?

The reason I think it was Opera doing the sniffing is because it logs this message in the dev console:

Opera has modified script or content on www.google.ca (PATCH-1269, Hide Chrome ad from Google pages). See browser.js for details

Stylish on Opera also gets this error when trying to load a custom CSS on google.com:

Could not communicat­e with the page. Try reloading the tab.
Stylus can access file:// URLs only if you enable the correspond­ing checkbox for Stylus extension on chrome://extensions page

(Haven't created a bug report since it isn't really Opera's responsibility to work with 3rd party extensions)

Dark Reader is an extension that can be installed on Opera via Install Chrome Extensions. It works on all websites I've visited on Chromium (Kubuntu 18.10) and Google Chrome (Windows 7), including google.com... but on Opera 57.0.3098.76, it does not work on google.com

I have tried deleting the profile folder and reinstalling the extension with everything on default settings... still nothing. My only theory is that Opera may be giving the rendering some kind of special treatment when it sees google.com... could anyone possibly shed some light on this issue?
