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:

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.

I managed to solve the issue in a different way. I set the Zoom to 80 percent and that seems to be giving sufficient screen real estate to the main window to display it fine. Please find the illustration here. Sharing this so that others with similar experiences can be benefitted.

@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.

Whatsapp provides a valuable feature where we can navigate to https://web.whatsapp.com/send?phone=number&text&app_absent=0 and it automatically opens in Whatsapp Web page.

However when we navigate to this URL, Whatsapp opens in its own tab and the Sidebar is logged out.

Hence I would request Opera team to consider supporting this URL to be loaded within Whatsapp side bar instead of in the browser tab.

@sgunhouse Yes. I have already initiated a brainstorming on this idea with Bitwarden community too.

https://community.bitwarden.com/t/periodic-sync-between-opera-password-manager-and-bitwarden/30895

For sure this would be a blend of the best features of two world class software

@leocg Did you mean to toggle off this option?

I am looking to see if Opera password manager be tweaked so that bitwarden can get into its shoes?

Perhaps the development team can look into having a configurable option and make the browser more extensible that way.

Is there a way to periodically and automatically sync Opera/Google password manager with bitWarden?

I was using the Google Image search (https://www.google.com/search?q=men+may+come+and+men+may+go+but+i+go+on+forever&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwiKm_HCiYXxAhV2yXMBHSPwAyQQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=men+may+come&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQARgAMgIIADICCAAyAggAMgQIABAYOgcIABCxAxBDOgUIABCxAzoECAAQQzoICAAQsQMQgwE6BAgAEB46BggAEAUQHjoGCAAQCBAeUISSAVjAoAFg2acBaABwAHgAgAF9iAHDCZIBAzcuNZgBAKABAaoBC2d3cy13aXotaW1nwAEB&sclient=img&ei=zdS9YMqAHfaSz7sPo-CPoAI&bih=579&biw=1240&client=opera&hs=MhY&safe=off#imgrc=7R2XNIakCLv1NM) and was trying to copy image enclosed to Opera Clipboard and share the same to another website. The actual image when saved to local disk was 3.4 MB whereas when I tried using Opera clipboard to Tweetdeck Twitter for example it reported, Opera was uploading more than 5 MB

Looks like the way opera is taking the image into its clipboard adds some weight by way of any encoding. Hence I would like to bring the same to your kind attention.

Would be glad to see if Opera could consider having a tool in Sidebar supporting one or more of the Cloud Storage providers like

• OneDrive

• Google Drive

• PCloud

• Dropbox

I am exploring the addon called Random Password Generator. I would just like to ensure it does not have any backdoor activity of communicating the generated passwords to any other website. How to ensure it does not any network activity?

I remember there used to an Email client called Opera Mail. I do see its description in Wikipedia as active but last release was around six years ago.

Is this still supported?

I was just experimenting the features of Opera VPN. It shows up as Proxy. Is it natural? A proxy and VPN in fact loads of differences between them.

@leocg I have a tip here for developer team though. Within a single profile they can create a subsystem (generically) so that any of the applications in sidebar can be duplicated for any number of accounts subject only to the available disk space.

That way the browser platform will become wholly extensible.
