Thanks, leocg.
Upon looking further I found I needed a slightly different address for Slashdot, corresponding to the Atom 1.0 feed rather than the RSS 1.0 feed. It now works.
Re: How can I add alternate News Sources to the Opera Personal News side tab?
I wonder if I am missing something. Is it possible to add your own rss feeds that are not listed in the catalogue? For instance, one feed I follow is that of Slashdot http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdotMain which works using the Smart RSS extension.
@vegelund said in tab click switching:
This is not a problem as only active tab clicked navigates to the top.
Right - my mistake. I'm having a problem with my mouse which is double-clicking rather than single-clicking unless I press very quickly. Thanks for your reply.
The new tab click taking you to the top of the page is all very well, but what if you are half way down a page, switch to another tab, and then switch back? Of course you don't want to be taken to the top of the page - you want to continue where you left off. I think it would be best to leave clicking on tabs to navigate between tabs.
So how can I turn off this new functionality? It has the potential to be incredibly irritating.
Thanks
I was playing around with the Vivaldi browser and one feature I like very much that used to be a part of the Opera browser is page loading information in the address bar - where it shows how much of the page is loaded, how many elements, and the page size.
It would be good if there was something similar in Opera. I don't suppose anyone knows of an extension that does this?
@leocg Apologies - I disabled my extensions and cleared my cache and the videos didn't autoplay - although it looked like the video was downloading in the background judging by the bandwidth used.
It seems the adblock plus extension is allowing the videos to autoplay. Unfortunately, adblock is pretty much the most essential extension to have an acceptable web browsing experience, so disabling it doesn't seem to be a good solution. I'll send them a message to see if they can help.
@sgunhouse said in Disable video autoplay:
opera://flags/#autoplay-policy
I set the flag to 'Document user interaction is required', but the videos are still autoplaying - e.g. on http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/thought-dead-son-falls-snowdonia-14030286 and https://gizmodo.com/alabama-supreme-court-okays-destruction-of-digital-voti-1821223685
A setting cannot come soon enough. I find it incredible at the end of 2017 we have to manually stop videos from autoplaying - every time we visit a different page on the guilty websites. They suck up bandwidth and annoy just like the animated ads used to do before we disabled them.
The Disable HTML Autoplay extension doesn't seem to work with adblock enabled. It would be good if this feature was a part of Opera.
It would be good if the Opera team would acknowledge this as a bug and fix it. My worry is that allows sites to track the user until the user takes the trouble to go into the settings and manually clear all the site data.
