Currently if we turn off VPN on a particular tab it seems to be turning off the same for all the open tabs. I guess this would not be a preferred behavior as per UI itself. It should be tab specific setting instead of controlling the entire application.

@monlauj54 Not sure if there was an #AlwaysOnTop setting in Opera. I remember only with that setting this type of behavior is observed in Windows applications.

I do see a few extensions listed for this purpose. A quick Google search gave me this:

https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/simple-notes/

It would be good if Opera invoked the installed Antivirus when the file download gets completed. Nevertheless since most of the antiviruses scan any newly created files there are a few antiviruses which have a delay scanning so that this suggestion for Opera to explicitly invoke the Antivirus to scan the newly downloaded file can ensure protection from malware/viruses entering the computer.

I have another thought here to share. Chrome might be exclusively locking its files when running. The user can look by closing all instances of Chrome and re-try their request to see if that helps out.

Both Firefox and Chrome have brought a feature that when we right click in any Password field there is an option to generate a Strong Password (besides an optional auto-saving the same).

I would like Opera to have this feature implemented in their browser too.

@leocg I perfectly agree that virus scanning would be a prerogative of locally installed antivirus. However my suggestion is to ensure suspicious downloads could be quickly looked up against diversified virus detection engines that VirusTotal or Jotti offers because no antivirus could be 100% when it comes to confronting all malware.

@leocg I am not using any extensions. I guess it is just the Meeting URL.

Well. I have not changed any #AdBlocker settings though. They are as it is from the installation.

I was trying to join a Microsoft Teams meeting online through Opera browser but the page was not loading despite several attempts. Then I had to switch that specific URL to Google Chrome and join the meeting.

Not sure if there are any page elements on the URL which Opera is blocking.

I would hence report this issue to Opera team.

I was trying to download a built artifact from Azure Devops and Opera downloads is showing the status as below

Infinity% - 0 B/s - 80.3 MB / 0 B

I am not sure whether this is Azure Devops web server issue or Opera bug or something related to my local internet connection. Hence would like to take the thoughts of peer browser users here.

@lavanyadeepak-0 said in Snapshot feature in Opera should have minimum Edit abilities:

The snapshot feature in Opera (the camera icon on the right corner of the address bar) should also support some of the basic features like

1. Blurring parts of image
2. Annotations

@leocg I just observed that instead of Capture and Close, if we choose capture, the resulting window has these features. So can you help mark this suggestion as Already Implemented.

The snapshot feature in Opera (the camera icon on the right corner of the address bar) should also support some of the basic features like

1. Blurring parts of image
2. Annotations

The snapshot feature of Opera (the camera icon on the right hand side of address bar) is definitely a wonderful feature.

I have a suggestion to Opera team to see if they can enhance the same to Video recording and Photo capture to make it full-fledged.

I have an observation which I am not sure would be categorizable as Bug or Suggestion.

In Whatsapp we have some special links called https://wa.me/<mobilenumber> and when you use these Whatsapp web will automatically open the chat window. With opera when we use Sidebar what happens is it will try to open Whatsapp in the browser tab (with or without a QR code verification)

But as of now I do not think Opera has a capability to target links to open up the Sidebar app and hence in the above situation the sidebar gets logged out.

I would like Opera team to investigate into the feasibility of extending Opera screenshot tool to be a drop-in replacement for Snipping Tool.

Perhaps you can take cue from a similar look like Awesome Screenshot (Google Chrome Extension) that has options for in-browser and as desktop-capture and try to emulate that behavior for a similar enhancement too.

@leocg I got it resolved myself. These are the steps I used for the same.

1. Reset the passphrase through Opera sync UI service online

2. Killed all instances of my Opera

3. Restarted it.

4. Logged off. Closed. Opened. Signed on.

Now things seems to be appearing good.

In Opera Sync there are two options as below

Encrypt only synced passwords with your Opera credentials

Encrypt all synchronized data with your own sync passphrase

I have a few questions on these features which I hope would benefit more opera users too:

• Which of those options is user-friendly?

• Which of those options is more secure? For example though outwardly Opera Credentials seems to be implicitly covering up the passphrase requirement how about if that credential is breached would all other saved ones will be at risk?

• If we use Opera Credentials and we change the same, will Opera take care of re-encrypting all saved automatically or we should reset them and start all over again?
