Thanks for the response but that's what I want to avoid doing. Having to actually load a page is an extra step that should be unnecessary. What if I have a file containing a list of URLs? For each URL, I would have to copy the URL, load the page, click on the heart icon, select folder, etc. VERY inefficient. Instead, you should be able to create a new bookmark in the "Show All Bookmarks", directly in the folder of choice. Not being able to do that is very big oversight IMO.

The last time I gave Opera a try with a few years ago, I just recently gave it another shot since it has VPN and ad blocker. But for the life of me, how do you easily create a bookmark in a folder of your choice and with the URL of your choice??? I went to "Show all bookmarks" and selected the folder but there is apparently no way to create a bookmark. This is mind-bogglingly absurd!
