@rob-b I am having this problem every time I open a new tab.

Well, I used to use it, but out of a sudden flow is disconnected without a reason. And here begins the trouble for my stupid mind. First: I forgot how I synchronized desktop and mobile Opera in the good old days. Clicking desktop Opera's flow icon offers a simple solution: just scan the qr-code with opera and here you are, nothing further to do. Great. So, how do I scan the code with Opera?
The help says there should be an option in the menu of the mobile opera. What can I say, there is none. Any other way? Enter the connection code manually. Great. I see a bunch of numbers and letters, 20 to be precise, some black, some, blue, some red - shall I use all of them? Only the red ones? For experienced Opera users that is obviously standard knowledge, so there is no further explanation given. Anyone knows how that works, right? I feel a bit excluded here. And even if I knew how to use the letters and numbers I still don't know where I should enter the connection code.
Searching the internet for a while, astonishing: there is no real answer to that either not so easy or overwhelmingly stupid question: how can I see the items I saved on my phone in the desktop browser. All I find: "It's so easy and simple, Opera does it all alone you don't have to do anything. No need for a password, no email. " Oh, how I would love to need an email and password, if it just would connect my phone to my laptop. Must I say some abracadabra? Search the internet for another hour? Only to find: "If you go to the opera.com/connect page, the QR code will appear, which you only need to scan with the Android browser - the reader can be found in the browser's sidebar."
Too bad, it does not.
I give up. My phone has a simple text editor. I can type in the URLs I want to use with my desktop browser and copy them manually. That works within seconds, great solution.

For some time now, I can't remember exactly when, there has been this annoying fanfare that sounds when Opera starts. I don't like it, I don't need it, I know I started the browser, but now I can't find a way to turn it off. What can I do?

Seit einiger Zeit, hab ich nicht genau aufgepasst, wann präzis das war, ertönt beim Start von Opera so einen nervenzerfetzende Fanfare. Die mag ich nicht, brauch ich nicht, ich weiss auch so, dass ich den Browser gestartet habe, aber nun finde ich die Möglichkeit nicht, sie abzustellen. Was tun?

@spencerross Nice to know I am the only one. Connecting Opera fails. Scan does not work neither typing in the code. Used to use flow, sad to see it's gone. Or has anybody a solution for this?

@gmiazga This is what my browser shows me:
"Jouw versie is 63.0.3368.94
Dit is de meest recente versie van Opera
Laatste maal gecontroleerd op woensdag 2 oktober 2019 08:05"
Meaning 63 is the latest version 3 minutes ago. No version 65...

@leocg Good to know, thank you

@leocg Sorry, but that is not possible. The bookmark bar pops up before you select a place to store it

@popinjay01 How long did it take? I have got hundreds of bookmarks in kind of 50 categories. I cannot imagine this is what the developers had in mind, it seems like a tremendous waste of time, while there should be a button that ensures one simply does not use the bookmarks bar and it should never pop up. Something that was default state in earlier Opera versions.

@holecrap Different people, different opinions, what can I say? I neither use the bookmarks bar, which I find annoying, nor speeddial, one of the most needless features that Opera came up with and all other browsers copied, I have no clue why. Oh, I see, there are people who like it like you. Could you explain why?

@sgunhouse : ... and how can we stop it?

@nvmjustagirl That's what I'm doing again and again

In my case it's different. 5 minutes ago I received an email with a link (using Thunderbird), which I clicked and the next thing I saw was the bookmarks bar in my browser.

Hi,
Yeah, I know, some of you must like the bookmarks bar, there must be a reason why Opera introduced it. Anyway I have never used it and am not planning to do so, however my browser seems to want me to. Since a little while Opera opens the bookmarks bar whenever it likes. Have not yet found the pattern. Opening a PDF was my first suspect, but it only pops up every second time, not always. Also when I click on a link in an email, or I open a new tab: bam, here it is again. I switch it off, but I never have to wait long before it returns. First I regularly switched it off but meanwhile it tends to become a little annoying. So this is my question: how can I get rid of it forever? Any ideas? Thank you !
