@burnout426 Thanks! I'll get to a careful reading later. My Speed Dial is an accumulation over the years, so it'd be nice to keep it, rather than have to reconstruct from memory or piecemeal. But there's one extension, To-Read, a drop-down, I'd love to be able to salvage, even just in form, since it no longer is current. Afaict, no one has duplicated it or anything functionally that close. Like the stick shift and aftermarket stereo/CD changer that keeps me with my '99 Outback, To-Read was that one special thing which made me almost hold back from going to Win 11.

@genegold This is Opera One, latest version.

The transition from Win 10 to 11 ended in a crashed PC, so after a direct install I’m trying to recreate as much as possible. I have all Opera files backed up on another drive. What’s the best way of doing it, with particular attention to bringing over the Speed Dial and Extensions (the most important of which is no longer available for download)?

Another thought: Were I to start Opera from the backup location, how could I connect it to the new main drive? Thanks,

Looking at a new Opera One install for a laptop, I can't help but notice that Opera One doesn't have a To-Read list type extension. Michal Borek (To-Read sites 5.0) has one that Opera no longer recognizes, although it still works on my existing desktop setup, and there's a "Reading List" extension in the Chrome store, also not recognized by Opera (and doesn't work properly in Opera One). Bookmarks are inferior at least because they require giving up screen space with an additional bar, unlike a drop-down extension whose icon can be put on the extension bar and a list that drops vertically. Of all the extensions I've had in Opera over the past 19 years, Borek's has easily been the most used and invaluable.

@leocg Ok, but how do I use the synchronized content? For example, how do I get the SD data into the SD on the laptop, and how do I get the Passwords into the part of settings? Or is it all manual (re-)entry from here?

I'm trying to sync for the first time some of my desktop setup to a new laptop. I'm logged into Opera sync on both devices and see my synchronized content on the source end. I created a passphrase on the source end and checked encrypted so I can send passwords too. Now what? The laptop says "View your synchronized data," but then says I have no sync data stored on the next screen. It says to sign in to start syncing, but I already am. And the video showing how to sync is on a smartphone. Not particularly helpful.

@leocg Opera One, up to date. I wouldn't think it would be a problem since it's within Opera, but after having a new monitor not work with my email program within Win 10 a couple of weeks ago, I don't take anything for granted.

Anyone using To-Read extension with Win 11? Any problems? Before I decide whether to go to Win 11, there are a few things that work in Win 10 that are invaluable to me and To-read is one of them. Thanks,

@daria19: Why not Ask? That's what works with everything else.

This is to follow up camera/mike problem with Opera and doctor appts on Epic (MyChart). Please note that there are no problems with any other video conferences outside that system.

1. Check your camera and microphone settings by going to opera://settings/privacy and in "Site Settings".

• Settings have been "to ask"

2. Make sure your Logitech Webcam HD C510 drivers are up to date.

• Older Webcam has been up to date for years

3. Try clearing Opera's cache and cookies by going to
   opera://settings/clearBrowserData.

• Since November, I have cleared cache, history and temp cookies a few times for other reasons. Can't test now because there is no scheduled video appt.

If it doesn't help, please let us know. We will be happy to assist you further!

When I try to have a Televideo session with a doctor that's using Epic (MyChart), in Opera my video and/or microphone are not recognized (I'm forgetting if it's one or both). I first came across this last November and it's continued every time since. I'm using a Logitech Webcam HD C510. When I switch to Edge, everything works fine and so that's where I've had to do the sessions from. I don't know if this is an Epic or Opera problem (I notified the former at the time).

@genegold Not sure who fixed it, but Yahoo Finance page portfolio is loading better now. Not always perfectly responsive, but generally so.

@daria19: It seems within Opera. Privacy Badger said the problem wasn't on their end. Opera threw up notice "banner" on start up saying an extension needs update, which led to Privacy Badger. But unlike in the past, where update works, it stopped working with the latest update, i.e., nothing happened. Process repeated every time I open Opera, bothering enough that I deleted the extension last week. Just reinstalled it, so will see what happens. It's ok right now.

Since Yahoo updated their website fairly recently and replaced MyYahoo with Yahoo Finance (only), invariably the first time I open the page -- my portfolio view is default -- the portfolio only partially loads. I have to repeatedly scroll the screen up and down before it fills out. If I don't, nothing happens. Every time. Much faster with Edge and FF. Win 10 Pro x64 desktop, Intel Core i5 12400 Alder Lake w/ 32GB RAM

The Privacy Badger extension update failure still hasn't been fixed! When?

@andrew84: Actually, I did and just struck me that I haven't seen any popups. Thanks,

@andrew84 Thanks. Perhaps disable not implemented yet.

@leocg: Well, let's hope someone changes that. In the realm of functionality, the way it's implemented is not is counterproductive (to put it nicely). It sits for some seconds, blocking the ability to get to the tab behind it. I can see why someone thought that having a way to let the user know copying was successful might be a good idea. It's just that it's placement, or perhaps how it's conveyed, needs rethinking.

The "Link Copied" pop up that's just appeared (here) with this build, is there a way to turn it off. It's a PITA.

@daria19 See screenshot. When I click on the Update button in the pop up, it disappears and nothing happens. Except almost every time I open Opera the extension notice appears at the top
