Opera 74.0.3911.160 (latest)
macOS 11.2.2

Just migrated all my stuff from my "old" Intel i9 to Apple M1 (using macOS built-in Migration Assistant).
Ref. Opera:
Most Settings gone, all entries in Quick-Start gone - this can be fixed quickly w. little effort.
Luckily it kept the stored passwords.

But. ... Opera is basically Unusable in its current release on M1. Sooooo sloooooow!

I even reset Opera and deleted all settings and everything - same story

Switched to Brave Browser for now, as Safari (which I used and loved since its existence), doesn't feature Plugins and I am Saturated of those idiotic cookie messages and Guugle asking me like 100x per day if I care to accept their silly terms, YuuTuube asking the same and wether I care to log in (No ! I don't :D) showing useless ads. Those were the 1st reasons to leave Safari and join Opera.

Opera is still the best Browser on Intel, not only for the unmatched feature of saving webpages 1:1 as PDF!
The best, except maybe the lack of the standard macOS key-Combo to cycle through windows
(i.e. Command and the 1st key next to the left SHIFT-key mostly the "<"-key :°)

Looking forward to the Devs solving this soon.

Cheers!

@gik-team
Nice! Much better, much faster.

Yet still behind Brave and Safari - at least performance-wise.

But the Devs are on the right path.

After the upgrade to 109.0.5097.45 all stored passwords are gone?
Anyway to recover them?
If not, this is definitely the last nail of the coffin for Opera for me ️

@katarzynamos said in Opera Cashback:

The Opera Cashback solution works

indeed it does. sometimes at least

Please note that whether the cashback reward is granted is dependent on the user's actions and the decision of our partner.

What do you mean "decision of your partners"? If e.g. temu . com partners w. you ( https://cashback.opera.com/us/shops/temu ) why is none of my purchases appreciated?!
...especially after I sent a list w. all purchases incl. screenshots showing activated CB on temu to your "friendly" support?!

"the users actions"? I bought stuff on ebay w. the same browser on the same Mac on the same days. ebay was accounted, temu was not, so it can hardly be my "the users" mistake now, can it?!

Despite a rather unpleasant experience, we thank you for trying our services and encourage you to check out our offer in the future.

Thanks, but the effort to activate and subsequently check, but mostly the nerves it costs do not at all justify the return, sorry

Make ist simpler and - most imporantly - make sure it works 100% w. All merchants advertised.

@derhimmelssheriff dann meinst Du vermutlich das:

https://help.opera.com/en/opera36/sync-your-browser/
https://help.opera.com/en/account/#sync

wie gesagt - ich möchte keine Daten (vermutlich unverschlüsselt ?) <irgendwohin> übertragen ohne zu wissen, wohin, wer darauf Zugriff hat, was mit meinen Daten passiert, wie sie verwendet werden (könnten) an wen sie weitergegeben werden (könnten) etc.

Sorry, nix für Ungut und vllt. bin ich etwas übervorsichtig aber ich mache das nicht - lieber lege ich die Bildchen neu an (und speichere sie fürs nächste mal ab ;°)

Ich suche mal nach einer Doku f.d. Synchronisation, wenn das Open Source ist, könnte man mit dem eigenen Server sync-en, da wäre man wenigesten sicher, dass mit den Daten nichts passiert...

@derhimmelssheriff Öhmmm... ich bin hier im Forum mit meiner email angemeldet...
Cashback hatte ich mal (mit der selben email), nutze es aber nicht (mehr), weil es nicht ordentlich funktioniert.
"Flow" z.B. nutze ich nicht - ich vermute DAS bräuchte es f.d. Funktion, die Du beschrieben hast?

@derhimmelssheriff ah, okay, verstehe. Aber ich hatte in dem ursprünglichen Post (letzte Zeile) geschrieben, dass ich keine Lesezeichen <irgendwohin> übertragen möchte.
D.h. ich bin nicht "über Opera angemeldet" und werde das auch nicht tun.
Trotzdem danke f.d. Mühe

@derhimmelssheriff
also vom "normalen "Schnellwahl Ordner in einen neuen/anderen Ordner?
Probiere ich gleich...
brb

@derhimmelssheriff sure, klar, danke

@derhimmelssheriff Danke

I simply disabled it completely after CB not registering my purchases and subsequent endless discussions w. a more or less 'friendly' support-agent.
Way to much hassle for the penny! Sorry.

I reckon this has been addressed before, but I could not find anything using search:
I want to move my Opera to a new Mac.
It's about the bookmarks, particularly the ones in "Speed Dial" ( chrome://startpageshared/ ).

The first thing I tried was to simply export the bookmarks to HTML and import them on the new Mac. The problem here - and this is the main issue of this post - is that the icons of aforementioned "Speed Dial" page are missing (...and I have to admit I have quite a lot of then ;).

Next, I tried to copy the following folders to the new Mac:

Profile:/Users/myoldmac/Library/Application Support/com.operasoftware.Opera/
Cache:/Users/myoldmac/Library/Caches/com.operasoftware.Opera/

This didn't work either, only the first line of my Speed Dial page was present and it didn't even have the icons...

Question: how do I backup&restore/migrate/move/get my old Opera install onto my new Mac, keeping the icons of "Speed Dial" intact?

I'd like to mention that I'd rather not use any solution that would transfer my bookmarks to some server on the Internet.

Thanks for your input and feedback,
~IRO
