Download Opera browser with:
Opera 57.0.3098.110 (found in Ubuntu Software), but anyway what I want to know is how to disable geolocation in Opera under Linux/Ubuntu. I've seen several posts in internet, but the solution given is not available in Ubuntu, so how do I disable it? I remembered that during install, the apps asked me if I want it enabled, and I said no, and recently it started ask again, and the worst of all is the pop up shows every few minutes.
Hi:
I just installed Opera through command line (wget -qO- https://deb.opera.com/archive.key | sudo apt-key add -, echo "deb https://deb.opera.com/opera-stable/ stable non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera-stable.list, sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get install -y opera-stable), installation went smoothly, but after open it, I noticed the menu and Opera icon on the left top of the screen are missing, therefore I can't see which version is mine, and also the menu is missing too. Am I the only one? Others are having similar problem? My Windows 8.1 uses Opera 55 and is fine, how can I install older version in Ubuntu 16.04? Thanks for your reply.
@internaut I just tested by using export function in Opera and imported into FF in Linux, it seems all the groupings are kept. I tried to use Opera in Ubuntu, but had several problems with it (difficulty to install Flashplayer, computer freezes for few seconds when some sites trying to open ads by opening additional browsers, etc.), so I guess I'll using FF instead of Opera in Ubuntu (I opened the same sites in FF and it did not freeze!).
As I said, using sync all my groupings and orders are lost, I have to do it one by one, so there's not much difference than create one from scratch, which defeats the purpose of sync. It seems to me that sync was designed for users who started from scratch, and increases the numbers of speed dial slowly, but when someone has a vast amount of speed dial/bookmark, the sync will just flat out all the bookmark/speed dial, making the grouping much more difficult.
I was a Windows user, just installed Ubuntu 18.04 on my pc with a dual boot (Win 8.1 & Ubuntu 18.04), I have these questions:
Sorry, under Settings > Websites > Location > Ask me when a site tries to track my physical location (recommended) was selected, now I changed it to Do not allow any site to track my physical location.
Also, under Manage Exceptions there's one entry: https://www.google.es:443, and under Behavior shows block, so I assume it'll block Google ES to track me, right?
I don't remember allowing it, but you never know, those crappy sites are sneaky, they install/enable it by using small prints or during updates.
Sorry, I don't have sites under setting, when I click on settings (right side bottom) in google search, I have the following options:
Search settings
Advanced search
History
Search help
Send feedback
but no Sites, if I can attach a screenshot, I can show you what I meant, are you using Windows 10? It shouldn't matter which OS, it's in the browser.
Can you please tell me how to disable Google's geolocation? I've tried cache and cookies to no avail. As far as I know, Google won't let you change it, I've tried also change settings, and also useless, everytime you shut down the pc, it goes back to Spanish, it's like a nightmare that never goes away.
Here goes one more unhappy Google user, I'm replacing Google with DuckDuckGo, tired of doing things their way, regardless of user feedback, already dropped gmail, now it's Google search, Google will be the next MS!!!!
That's right, I'm using Google, and already tried to use google.com, it changed EVERY SINGLE time to google.es.
Yes, I'm using Notepad++ for editing, after changed the file, went back to confirm, and it showed location":{"country":"us","countryfromserver":"US", which I assume the change is accepted, but still when I try to do a search, Spanish google came up and not in US, what else can I do?
Yes, the preference has been changed too.
