Maybe I am using the wrong name for it.

To the right of the url near the top of the screen there is often a small hamburger-like icon with a tiny A in the top left corner. The function simplifies most pages for easier reading.

Actually the problem exists in regular mode as well as well.

There is no select all function and when I try to manually select the text in an article (and images, too) I can only get a couple of paragraphs. There is no way to extend the area selected.

Thanks,

@modemjunkie Success. I tried so many things to set Thunderbird as my default email in Opera, I am not sure what worked. But I went into one of the old installations and clicked on the launcher. And voila, when I tried the mailto apps they did what I wanted, Thank you all for your patience. I have been using Opera since 1995

One of the best reasons for using Opera for Android was the screen reader and the ability to select all or most of an article to copy and share.

I have long wished for a "select all" function but in it's absence, I have been able to drag over a complete page. Until recently, that is. Lately I can only select a portion of an article? Is that by design? A feature or a bug?

Is there a work around or a fix on the way?

Also, tonight I noticed that the "reader" icon is missing on many articles. Que pasa?

Thanks

@leocg So, on the old drive, which is only storage now, not active, What kind of files should I be looking for?

@leocg The old drives were installed in the new computer in addition to the new drives which came with the PC. (The old PC had a problem on the motherboard that prevented it from booting.) But while I can access the files on the old drives I can't run software from there, And searches of the old Opera folders don't yield anything I can identify as extensions.

@leocg I have searched both the Opera and Chrome extension repositories and tried all that looked like they might work and none let me configure themselves the way the ones I had on my old machine worked. Most default to Gmail. There I can post via my Dreamhost account but I have to use the Gmail interface.

I just got a new PC running Windows 11. On my old machine there used to be a few mailto extensions that allowed me to send page urls and subjects via my Dreamhost account in Thunderbird email. I can no longer find extensions that will use any other providers than Gmail, Yahoo, etc. Can you point me to any extensions I am missing. My old machine has been gutted so I can't find the old extensions. Thanks,

@modemjunkie I don't know what I did, but YouTube sharing works again. I did disable some extensions but that didn't help.

Later I reenabled them. Shortly after that I discovered sharing worked again.

Same build.

On the current and recent Stable builds I am no longer able to share a YouTube by clicking on the share button or arrow under the YouTube. When I do click it, the screen dims, almost to black. Another click and it reverts to normal. The only way I can share is to use sharing app or to copy and paste the URL. Running Windows 7.

Any suggestions?

Hmm. You work fast Actually,. later this evening I switched from a DVI connection to my monitor to HDMI. Solved.
