@vitoag1987 I am confused as to what you are talking about. Could you specify which of my replies you are replying to? Thanks so much!!

@naheed Yes. It does work great! It's pretty awesome. I like it. Thanks! Have an amazing day!!

@vitoag1987 Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Install Chrome Extensions extension?

@naheed Thanks for trying to help, but I've switched to Vivaldi because Opera just doesn't work well on my laptop.

@vitoag1987 If you like Chrome, Vivaldi is also a rather good browser. It doesn't feel as modern, but it works great. And it works completely with all Chrome APIs.

Okay, thanks. I am sad to say I've switched to Vivaldi, as Opera does not appear to operate correctly on my laptop.

@burnout426 That might be the reason. It works on my personal computer but the computer I'm talking about is managed by my school. Any ideas to fix it?

@leocg Never mind. I recovered the browser. It did not fix the problem.

@jeremynwest Okay, I know how to back up the necessary files, but how do I add them to the recovered Opera browser?

Should the recovery thing work? But before I do it, I want to know what I'll lose if I do it. Will I lose any experimental features from opera://flags? Will I lose all my extensions? Will I lose all my custom search engines? Will I lose anything else that is not synced on the cloud by Opera? Also, what does it mean by "clear temporary data, like cookies".

The recovery option I'm planning to use is "Keep my data and only reset Opera settings", so I don't lose absolutely everything. If this won't fix the problem, then I'll reset my data too, but how do I back up my history, bookmarks, settings, etc.?

Thanks,

@burnout426 No, that did not work, but thanks for trying to help!

Please add extension synchronization! There's no reason to add a ton of features that make Opera unique, but take away useful features that other browsers have (i.e. extension sync, custom new tab, etc.). I really hate having to write down every single extension I get on one device, and then I have to install every one of them on the other laptop, which is extremely time consuming!

It only does this on one laptop. On the other one it works perfectly fine.

@leocg Both

Oh my gosh! My jaw almost fell off when I saw this!!

I tried running the installer but it didn't do anything.

@leocg Oh.

Also, just a quick question, how do I sync browser extensions in Opera?

I am confused as to what you mean.

This week, I decided to try out Opera and see what all the buzz is all about. I am loving Opera!

When I go to the Check for Updates page, it tries to check for updates, but it always says "An error occurred while checking for updates"

I have tried restarting Opera, I have tried doing the recovery thing, and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it! But to no avail.

Could someone please help?
