It would be nice to have the option of having some tabs not do tab snoozing when tab snoozing is enabled. You could have an option to "Disable tab snoozing for pinned tabs" or the ability to whitelist websites where tab snoozing will not occur. The way it is now is an all or nothing approach which I think can be improved upon since there are some websites logged into with information up that are effected when a tab is reloaded after being snoozed.

RE: Opera GX / Opera Touch - My Flow stopped working, can't reconnectOpera GX
@leocg I tried this and you are correct it seems to have only reset flow. Unfortunately it didn't fix my issue.
Do you know if flow is available for Opera for Android connected to Opera for Desktop that is already setup with sync using a passcode? I could never get this to work. The only way I could get it to work is to use the quick connect to device sync option, which creates a random account for all your sync data. When I tried this in the past I got flow working, but I want to use my existing sync account with a passcode, and this I could never get working.

RE: [Compilation]Devices appear multiplicated in opened tabs pageOpera for computers
@cfyzuk I am noticing the same issue, and based on the amount of complaints going around I have to assume it is a bug that is taking forever to get resolved. Hopefully they will fix it soon since it has already been close to half a year without a fix for this issue. I would prefer things like this got fixed first before prioritizing all the new features being added.

How to get flow working with Opera for AndroidOpera for Android
I have my Opera desktop setup to sync with a passphrase. The sync works fine on my opera desktop and opera for android. The problem is I can't get flow to connect. When I click Flow in opera desktop and then "Connect to Phone" it shows the QR code. In opera for android I go to Flow in the settings, and then click "Connect Device" and scan the QR code. It always says "Pairing - The use Flow, you need to set up syncing between your device. Navigate to opera.com/connect on your other device". The problem is I got syncing setup and working between the devices. If I use "Other Options" and use "Sign In", that also doesn't work.
The only way I was able to get it to work on opera for android is using the quick setup option for flow which creates a random account to use for all opera sync operations. I want to use my existing sync account with flow. Is this even possible?

RE: Opera 96.0.4693.20 Initial StableBlogs
@sopronman1965: Since installing the new Opera 96 I am getting the tab jumping also. If a click a tab that is shrunk down, it will jump to the right. Very annoying, I hope it gets fixed soon.

RE: New AI tools now available in Opera and Opera GX for you to testBlogs
You have a bug regression. The following was fixed in version 96.0.4693.50 but is broken again in version 97.0.4719.26:
DNA-105141 Tabs to the right of the currently active one swap their position with another when clickedThese Opera updates feel rushed.

RE: Opera 97.0.4719.43 Stable updateBlogs
@adam1709 I have had the disappearing cross to close happening for a long time. I have to click the tab next to it and then click back on to the prior tab and then the X will appear to close. I hope that bug finally gets fixed at some point, it is annoying.

RE: Opera 100.0.4815.30 Stable updateBlogs
I noticed since upgrading to Opera 100 on Windows if I minimize a browser window with a tab, and that tab refreshes in the background, it un-minimizes the window and brings the windows and that tab to the front and takes over focus. Is there a new setting to turn this off or is this a bug??
Very annoying so I hope it gets fixed soon because I keep having tab windows pop open to the forefront when that tab reloads in the background causing it to loose focus, such as when typing this post.

RE: Opera 105 StableBlogs
@leocg: I only had 1 extension installed, and I disabled it and it made no difference. I am experiencing the same issue which didn't exist until I upgraded to Opera 105. Seems to be a display issue with making how it interacts with the GPU. I filed a bug report but probably going to need to downgrade to Opers 104 because it is usable in its current state. I upgraded to fix two of the bugs I was experiencing 104, and now I got 105 it is completely broken. This seems to happen just about every major version update now in days. Not sure how much longer I can use Opera if this continues.

RE: Debunking misinformation about Opera’s browsersBlogs
When using any software you have to build a trust in it, and I trust Opera for the exact reasons explained in this article. Anyone that has any questions about trusting Opera or scared by the "Opera is owned by a Chinese company" smear campaign, should read this post before believing in any of the negativity being spread.

RE: [Security] Opera and TelemetryOpera for computers
I additionally get tired of the commenters in various forums on the Internet that shoot back with the Opera being Chinese, so it must be bad. I agree with @leocg that you develop a trust with a software to feel comfortable using it. The reason why I trust Opera:
-
They have clearly outlined their stance when it comes to security and privacy in the links @leocg has provided.
-
Opera is still headquartered in Norway and therefore under European laws which are quite strict (more so then the US even) when it comes to privacy.
-
Opera is listed on the US Nasdaq stock exchange (ticker OPRA), and has actually done quite well over the last year even with the recent stock drop.
So my question is why wouldn't you trust the company when they clearly outline their privacy terms, they are under European laws, and lastly wouldn't want to tarnish their image which would directly hurt their stock price?
Those reasons alone are why I trust Opera and have used it for years. Users also have to remember they are a business and have to make money, so having things like Google being the default search engine, or adding features that feed their ad income is understandable, as long as those features can be disabled by the user instead of forced, which in most instances you can turn off in the Opera settings or advanced flags area if you would like.
So I am a happy Opera user, but I do hope they take the time to fix the bugs that get introduced in the newer versions, rather then rushing more new features before prior bugs are fixed. That would be my only complaint I have, but then again I understand why they have to keep the new features coming to stay relevant.

RE: [Compilation]Devices appear multiplicated in opened tabs pageOpera for computers
@leocg This issue has several forum posts, bug reports, and listed as a known issue for at least 1+ years. When is this known issue going to be fixed? If it is known by Opera developers, why are they not fixing such a major bug with an important functionality of Opera. I understand it takes time to get fixes in place and try to practice patience, but 1+ years seems like a long time for such a major issue.

RE: [Compilation]Devices appear multiplicated in opened tabs pageOpera for computers
This bug has been brought up in the forums in multiple places, and I have personally filed a bug report about this ongoing issue. This issue has existed for at least 1+ years I know of. This is a serious bug that makes the tab activity section unusable. I really hope this gets fixed at some point since it seems to be a known issue that never gets fixed for some reason.

RE: [Compilation]Devices appear multiplicated in opened tabs pageOpera for computers
@burnout426 You are correct, I tried in the past to reset sync, and since the issue is still there the multiple entries show up again. It seems like the only way this is going to be resolved is with a bug fix. This issue has existed for at least 1+ years, so I have to assume this issue is being ignored for some reason (maybe complex to fix), or Opera has not seen (or ignored) the posts and bug reports about this issue. I really hope it gets fixed at some point since this is a major issue with an important functionality of the browser.

RE: [Compilation]Devices appear multiplicated in opened tabs pageOpera for computers
This issue has been ongoing for over a year now, and is a serious issue. I reported it to Opera using the proper bug report channels, yet it never gets fixed. I really hope this becomes a priority to fix at some point.

RE: [Compilation]Devices appear multiplicated in opened tabs pageOpera for computers
I have had this exact same issue for a LONG time now, and even filed a bug report about this issue yet it never gets fixed. I really hope the Opera developers will see the posts and bug reports about this issue and FINALLY fix it, which is long overdue.

RE: Do not tab snooze specific tabsSuggestions and feature requests
It looks like this functionality is finally available if you enable the "#memory-saver" advanced flag in Opera. Once you enable this flag and restart, you will have a performance section with the memory saver options in the settings area just like Chrome does. I enabled and it seems to work similar to Chrome. Additionally, I found out if you pin a tab, it won't snooze the tab. This is exactly the behavior I was hoping for. So with "#memory-saver" flag enabled and turning on the memory saver in the opera settings it makes for a much better experience when you have lots of tabs open in the browser. Happy to see this finally became available in Opera.
