Same issue here. I've been using y for youtube since...I don't even know, opera 9? Until now the "fix" you mentioned worked but of course not anymore, just like the speed dial thing...this update's goal seems to be to lock down the browser even further or something...

Let's hope Vivaldi doesn't take too long to release a stable version, can't wait to ditch opera

Yeah this is very disappointing.

I think I'll swap to some other browser unless someone can provide some kind of solution to the latest "fuck you" from opera devs, can't stand this anymore...

By the way, any suggestions for an alternative browser that is more customize-friendly like old Opera was? Don't really like Chrome and it seems every major browser is a cheap chrome clone nowadays :(.

So I used CCleaner to get rid of cookies, history, cache, etc. and when I launched Opera again I got a pop-up message with something like this: "your preferences file is corrupted and opera is unable to recover your settings" and it seems everything but bookmarks and speed dial is gone.

I've been tweaking the browser for several weeks now, had several extensions (including the kind that saves data, like "to-read later"), etc. and I'd like to know if there's any way to get something back if not everything.

The OS is Windows 7 x64, Opera 27.0.1689.76 and CCleaner v4.04.4197 x64. I ran CCleaner with the following options ticked: Internet History, Internet Cache, Cookies, Download History, Recently typed URLs and Website Icons.

Greetings.

EDIT: I took a look at the profile folder and found that there's a file named "Preferences.bad" which must contain my settings, I opened it with notepad++ and it seems that way.

Does anyone have any idea how to proceed if possible to restore at least my extensions? In the folder named "Extensions" there're only 22 sub-folders + "Temp" but I think those 22 are just the extenions that got imported from Opera 12, all of them disabled and mostly incompatible with the new Opera...should I assume CCleaner really deleted all the working extensions and their data?
