Just want to put my voice here too:
I upgraded from V66 to 67 and my Speeddials are gone too...
What strikes me: I seem to have now 3 Computer with the same name (The one where Speeddials disapeared)!
For some reason Opera seem to think it is a different computer and places the speed dial in a separate folder.
Seems to have also happened on the previous upgrade, since I found some more speeddials in that 2nd folder as well. Opera seems to be copying the speeddials in the new folder, but seems to have been interrupted from doing so and therefore some or all speeddials are missing?

Anyway, Solution:
Dragging them over to the "new" (same name) computer at least solved the Speeddial issue for me.
But it is not nice.
It was scary (some research was saved in speeddials and sync seems to be also not working right...)

I very much like the idea and I am using it to provide some basic security.
Some comments on usage:
The page that was visible on exit will still be visible on restart of opera, just the pop-up asking for password on top of it.
If you are quick and have a slow computer you can still switch tabs before the pop-up comes up to ask for the password enabling somebody to see the page.
It seems not possible to change password (I guess uninstalling and re-installing is the answer).

Feature suggestion:

• When Opera starts, make it load a new tab (speed dial) in this way another person at least can't see the open tabs.
• Would be great if the password would be prompted for if X amount of time has passed:
  I often never shut down my PC, just hibernate it along with Opera. So Opera is most of times not locked. A timer would make sure if the PC is long enough in hibernation or unused that Opera is locked again.

Question: Why do you need access to search results?

@franan said in [Request]Option to disable Animation when switching workspaces:

opera://settings/?search=reduce+animations

Thank You
This feature was so annoying. Now I wish to switch off the start-up sound when a new installation is done or starting opera...
I disabled it for this installation, but I wonder what the next update will do...

@burnout426 thanks for the in depth answer.
I will try, even so I am not sure when I will get around to do it.
Much appreciated.

Almost forgot:
I have 5 browser total on all my PCs/ Laptops which are out of sync (Since my wife also uses the same sync account so we can use each our own browsers with preferred settings and still see what the other thinks is interesting).
Do you know any software which could compare the JSON file of Opera?
I was trying to use Linkman for this job, but it seems not to see all the bookmarks.... Maybe a corruption of the Jason file...
Was trying to do a readout of the file in Excel, but a lot of manual labour to do due to my nesting of folders.

Agreed.

Also add to old functions that are great but still missing:

• Tab stacking!
• Note field in the bookmark section (SO many comments of mine have been lost from the old bookmarks...)
• It is very cumbersome to organise the bookmarks. Not possible to add 1 page twice in the bookmarks quickly (since it would apply to 2 topics)
• Separate Notes function which can sync to the other Opera browsers as well (would love to have this back, but also for the Opera Mobile browser (wasn't there before either)

Hi in standard Opera there is a white and a black theme.
This theme switch seems to be missing in Opera GX.
I prefer the brighter coloured themes...
Will it come back?

Standard Opera:

Opera GX:

Rant:
Together with the gripes of the other topic I have just posted I am about to have Opera GX unistalled...
Opera (also the normal one) seem to get a bit unreliable at times (right now i.e. the "Tabs" window is not always visible on the sidebar. And if it is, it only shows the current installation, not my other 5 Opera installations. (same and other PCs).
I still remember and have used Opera LONG time back, when it still was a commercial product with banner ads on the top right corner or you had to pay for it.
I believe "Flow" is a great idea, but is a dead end since it is requiring a different browser on Android.
I rather would have "Tabs" working in the mobile version (maybe even linked once you "browse on" from this tab?), so I also can continue working when on the mobile, not necessarily thinking about it to manually send it to flow (which sometimes seems to lose the connection and you can only reconnect with the mobile on hand which is not that great (considering I have a Login name for my stuff to be synced anyway...)
From Opera 12.0 I also really miss the notes/ memo function and comments possibility in the bookmark.
I would rather see this have a comeback, but please also sync it to the mobile version of Opera (With the notes function me and my wife where doing most of our wedding planning

@leocg Not a solution but a suggestion:
Would be good if the flow webpages could be like in a history visible on this page (as long you did sync, this should be there too)
