(Not a request but still requesting) Why Opera post 95 versions doesn't allow us to categorize bookmarks and changed it to whatever Opera wants it? Chrome and Firefox allows us to do it our way.

All of my bookmarks are messed up and disorderly arranged (which amounts to around 80,000). I want to arrange but the system is also messed up. As a result, shifted all bookmarks to Brave.

Same story exists on desktop and mobile. Mobile Opera is cool and way better than desktop opera but still this thing sucks.

Also, why no reading list option for articles or links to revisit later like Chrome and Brave and Vivaldi has and syncs cross device.

In short, no features in opera bookmarks section to manage large bookmarks of years.

I posted for this almost a year back but got no update. Mailed to dev, but see opera is not a browser of mine as it was back in early 2000s.

Wanted to know how Opera is better here if compared to Chrome, which is the top competitor of Opera.

@neeshwase change DNS. Reset browser.

Opera is good but lack of vertical tabs makes it unusable for work purposes. Now even Brave and Firefox (finally) has it inbuilt (see attachments)

I use my work browser where I have open more than 400 tabs and most of them are in tab groups (subsequent request) that are saved and synced. As of now there are 2000 tabs since Sept 2024.

If Opera wants me to jump from Chrome, understand what you bringing that differentiates you the top competitor. Since Google search, which is your default, forces me to jump back to Chrome on all opera browsers on all devices. And in terms of work, Opera is not upto the standards of 2025 despite redesigning. If I use Google search, it forces me to login then it shows popups to install chrome which is better than Opera (opera ads are wasted if chrome via google is calling us back constantly like poke feature from FB, if you know).

If I remember around 20 years ago, Opera had vertical tabs but don't know what happened, but I believe there is a time for everything as it needs to come to back since browsing is not what was in 2010 in 2025.

I tried one and only addon present on Opera store but it works sometimes, and takes more space of the webpage unlike vertical tabs which reduce the top bars and vertical tabs section is resizable. Plus it is not updated since 2019. Damn 7 years almost.

Addons to have vertical tabs exist on chrome addon store but none work on Opera unfortunately.

Both vertical tabs and tab groups are needed very much.

@evillast Yes, it does and even many other browsers (naming them here can ban me) but not opera shows how much opera respects veteran users like us. It is old style browser with no changes with change in time.

@johnbrook Opera for over 30 years cannot provide this simple feature. I use another browser for this. And there is not a single browser apart from chrome that doesnt support this feature alongside media features when playing videos in full screen mode. It shocks me as to how opera is user friendly browser in 2024 where mobile usage is all time high.

@andreszs as stated clearly by me, i dont want new on top but at bottom as old ones are mostly visited or used by me. And I cannot change my system just because of opera one devs decided to do changes which no other browser decided to implement with options. See chrome, firefox, librewolf, waterfox, iceraven, edge, vivaldi and even opera versions before 90. You will see what I am talking about.

Are we going to get option to sort bookmarks by time and date instead of just name because it disorderly arranges all bookmarks. Only Opera browser is the browser in the market currently that has no option to sort bookmarks by time and date either on mobile or desktop till now. And after Opera one, things related to bookmarks ordering and structuring are messed up where new bookmarks are coming up on top and order bookmarks are going at bottom. If one wants older bookmarks added first on top of the list and newer at bottom then they should have a right or control over it. In edge browser and cococ browser, I can very easily sort bookmarks as per my convenience unlike Opera or Opera one.

@jito463 They wont be doing anything. Wishful thinking is good. See opera GX twitter handle and you will what vulgar content they are promoting and talking about and not what they are for.

@forestworker90

This feature should be inbuilt in opera since 1999 but it seems this are busy in redesigning to a point that is becoming useless and invisible,

@leocg This also not here?

@forestworker90 @justanotheruserleaving @bryanf37 take a look at this also using this too.

@justanotheruserleaving @bryanf37 I am using alongside edge, Cốc Cốc Browser. It is a from Vietnam and simple and easy to use. Should I share the link to download from their site?

@airforce25228 This process brings another misery. If you dont update the opera then the opera logo on top left will turn bright red and will force you update and until you dont update, it will nag you. Another reason why opera forces updates and yet their updates sucks. I got an update and now opera is back to its tricks of crashing and unresponsiveness. Will definitely go back to edge if another update doesnt resolve this.

@leocg Lol. In opera only. Using reading list of chrome and brave for past 3 months and no issues ever came up.

@forestworker90 I was looking into my installed apps and saw maxthon browser still installed. And it still works great.

Since I asked and you were telling me about features, maxthon has tons of them and if you talk to their small team, they happily add it. Requested some features and said it will come by December 2023.

Opera, on the other hand,

"we dont do that here."
