Homemade Mac & Cheese is the answer.

I just tried copying the extension address from Vivaldi and pasting it in Opera and it loads Group Speed Dial, so the extension works but something in Opera is causing it to crash on browser exit.

EDIT:

Seems like the default address created by Opera for GSD is the issue. It's different than what Vivaldi has. once I added the address from Vivaldi to Opera I went into Opera's settings and saved it along with Sonarr calendar and Goole as my start pages. When I closed and relaunched Opera I had all my GSD groups. I suggest leaving this thread here in case others run into this issue.

I just went to set up my browsers and in Opera beta pretty much all my extensions crashed and would crash every time I tried to readd my saved default folder. I finally removed the beta and install the latest stable version, launched it, closed it, copied my backed up user folder, open Opera and all looks good except for Group Speed Dial. I am not having any issues with GSD in any other browser, seems to be an Opera specific issue. Any ideas on what might be happening? Thanks

Opera One(version: 109.0.5097.38) on Garuda fully updated

@opeepo10: While you're absolutely right that it's easy to make a version yourself, even without knowing any code (ChatGPT could probably write it in less than a second), there are also developers, like myself, who simply can't be bothered to do it ourselves. To be completely honest, why bother with doing that work yourself when there are numerous other speed dials available. Yes, you get some more control... on a highly surveilled internet where third parties already have everything they want to know about you. Whatever control you gain from running your own speed dial, is nullified the moment you leave that page by clicking on a speed dial, as you are only in control on your own site. Outside that site you've once again relinquished control to third parties. So all it really does to make your own speed dial, is bragging rights, an illusion of control and wasted time that could be spent on more fruitful endeavors. You're of course free to do with your time as you please, but there isn't any real benefit to building your own speed dial, beside personal satisfaction. I've since changed to YASD - Yet Another Speed Dial. It requires the extension that lets Opera run extensions from the Chrome Extension store, but other than that it looks and feels like FVD, if not better.

I'm calling bs on this. speed dials, bookmarks, etc.... all once you click any link you are most likely giving a third party some access to your info. However creating your own speed dial page keeps one more app creator out of your personal info cause it is your personal app and not some app you installed from a third party.

@leocg Good to know but doesn't answer the question. There must be a way in config to disable this behavior.

I do expect a reply to this, cause I'm sure there is a way for the enduser to disable this behavior in Opera. It is unacceptable for the browser to decide for me what is or isn't safe. I will make that determination.

@canizales0 said in Threads and posts are presented badly:

The display of deleted threads that you can no longer view takes up additional space, and there are huge voids of white space. Why are the replies presented twice, in my opinion, it unclear. The information that matters the most does not automatically attract attention.

Yes see the two Dead spots above this post for a good example.

@A Former User said in Social Fixer for Facebook:

Hidden posts (posts marked as read) show a permanent line of text that the post is hidden & an option to ''unhide' it. This feature slows down the loading of a Facebook page & it makes it somewhat unpleasing to the eye.

F__KEDbook in general is unpleasing to the eye with all the fake rightwing crap on it.

As of today -- November 28 2023 -- Opera pushed a compulsory update and after the update this plugin does not work. Please solve the issue as soon as possible.

Grab Group Speed Dial. It doesn't invade your privacy.

I just launched Opera and was informed that it took it upon itself to disable one of my extensions. I clicked the message to go see which one was disabled and it's Tampermonkey. I have never had an issue with the extension and honestly would have preferred being warned and asked if I wanted to disable it or not. So have to ask if there is a config that I can edit to disable this behavior in Opera.

@forestworker90

This feature should be inbuilt in opera since 1999 but it seems this are busy in redesigning to a point that is becoming useless and invisible,

That's fine if you want to leave your browser open or at least running in the background. No Thanks. Better to backup the tabs when you go to close the browser.

@shintoplasm01 said in Debunking misinformation about Opera’s browsers:

@locutus Not really relevant. Firstly, this thread is about Opera specifically - and the specific concerns raised in that post I linked to.

Secondly, while I agree that Brave has its own share of (rather small IMHO) controversies, but AFAIK no-one's identified any suspicious connections being made to Brave's servers.

Lets try that again with the truth this time. As I clearly stated the articles about Opera being spyware do do back a lot loner than you imply. Second Brave has more than their share of controversies.

Articles about Opera being spyware have been around since Opera was purchased by a company in China. They're no going away any time soon. Brave is the one that peeps should be concerned about. They claim to be privacy centric while having a ads rewards program.

Now that is just gibberish.

Aria can't fetch.

That's a good thing. Simply no to AI.

@leocg
The layout makes it hard to quickly read thread titles and reading threads themselves is a pain too. There are enormous gaps of white space, and displaying deleted threads you can't access takes away even more space. I find the way the replies work confusing, why are they displayed twice? Attention is not naturally drawn to information that matters most. You can't customize the layout. In my opinion these things make the forum not intuitive to work with and in fact a pain to work with. For that reason I would rather not post on this forum, simply because it's unpleasant to work with.

The layout which is used on many many many many forums is Extremely easy to navigate. As for my opst about the browser I was heading you off at the pass before you could wrongly go after the browser like you wrongly went after the forum.

Then Don't post here or anywhere for that matter.

@whisperer I've been giving Opera a run and it's perfectly fine with the "bells and whistles".
