I think all you have to do is copy the Opera bookmarks file in the Opera profile, to the Chrome profile.

Easier said than done.

I would also like to know how to export bookmarks in O23 to an html file. Chrome can import bookmarks in .html format, and that is what I want to do.

Previous versions of O could do it like this:

But O23(and O22) is missing the "Export Opera Bookmarks" found in previous versions.

Thanks in advance.

Forgot to ask how to export bookmarks in O23? If I remember correctly, there was an option to export bookmarks to an html file in previous versions.

Ok thanks. I'll just reinstall O22 and block autoupdate.exe.

It's no good. 'opera_autoupdate.exe' blocked, but O22 still manages to upgrade to O23. Even after reinstalling O22 whilst 'opera_autoupdate.exe' was already blocked.

Time to switch to Firefox/chrome. Shame, O22 was way more compatible with the websites I frequent than any other version.

This is the way Opera will work from now on, with small and silent updates.

I'd say that updating an entire version of O is not a small event.

Very succinctly put! Nothing wrong with O silently updating bug or security fixes, but updating to a new version of O with new features potentially add new problems.

I don't want to be a guinea pig to test the latest version of O. O22 updated to O23 without my knowledge or permission, and that resulted in taskbar problems(see 'Opera always in foreground' thread).

Certainly it can be argued that this is a way to improve security by forcefully and universally removing software holes and flaws as they are revealed, patched, and updates pushed. But that comes at a great 'instability' cost, particularly to technically-informed users who stay abreast of security issues, run "tight" systems, employ layered security, and strive to keep their systems "stable" above all else. The answer is to give users control over if/when software on a system updates itself.
The reality is that every single piece of software has bugs, including every update. A user sometimes has to thread through a minefield of software incompatibilities and hiccups to get a system fully stabilized and smoothly running. An update invariably introduces different software behavior at some point or another that may or may not be evident as a conflict or problem. When a user performs a manual update, has a known scheduled update, or receives a clear and prominent alert that an update has occurred, he at least has a definitive starting point to troubleshoot any performance hiccups that may be the consequence of the update. With silent, forced updates, the user has no starting point for figuring out why things broke on his system - and the more software that pushes auto-updates, the greater the likelihood both that something will be broken by an update and that it will be unclear what its cause is.

Ok thanks. I'll just reinstall O22 and block autoupdate.exe.

Past versions always let it be known that a new version is available, and asks me if I would like to upgrade to the new version.

I really enjoyed O22(and every version before 15), but if Opera is updating versions without my knowledge or permission then is time to jump ship.

Let's hope that this was a one-off mistake, not a new way of doing things.

Bugger, can't edit my previous post!

I've just checked my version, and it version 23! Opera updated from 22 to 23 without my knowledge or permission! That is why I am having taskbar problems. How can I revert back to O22??!!

I am having this very problem - in fact, I was just about to start a thread about it! But I've been using O22 for almost a month now, and this problem has only started about a week ago. Which leads me to believe that it is due to a Windows 7 update, or an Opera update.

No problems with revealing the taskbar from within other programs. Just for Opera.

Speaking of cache, where is the O22 cache folder? It was quite easy to find with previous versions.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all.

Previous versions of O have the "fit to width" option at the bottom right hand corner to fit a webpage to the width of the screen. I found this convenient, as I use a netbook with a small screen and don't want to have to constantly scroll horizontally.

Where is this option in O22?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all.

I imported bookmarks from O12.7 into O22, but the bookmarks in O22 are not in alphabetical order, like they were in O12.7. How can I rearrange them aphabetically?

Thanks in advance.

You can include the domain on the exception list. Just use "[*.]domain.com".

Thanks. It works now.

Hi all. I am using O22.

I normally browse with javascript(js) off. In the settings for js, under "manage sessions", I allow "http://www.ebay.com". But all links in eBay have the URL xxx.ebay.com ie. feedback.ebay.com. So on the home page, js is enabled, but on any other page, js is disabled. How can I set entire site domains ie. xxx.ebay.com to have js enabled? In O12.7, I think that there is a "site preferences" setting, but I can't find it in O22.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I am also having the same problem with Opera forum. I allow js for "https://forums.opera.com", yet js will not work in the forum until I completely turn the setting for js on(for all sites).

I found Opera 15/16 to be completely unusable. So I reverted to 12.x, and am currently using 12.7, which still has compatibility issues with some of my fave websites(financial ones in particular). So I was using Opera and FF for different websites.

I am currently evaluating 22, and so far I am loving it. A massive increase in usability and compatibility.

Some sites that I visit require IE or Firefox. There is a way to spoof IE and FF in Opera 12.7 in the settings, but I don't know how to do it in Opera 22. Help?

Thanks in advance.

The problem still remains. Thanks for your reply though.

I spoke too soon.

Some sites still auto-fill the details. I don't like when this happens on sites where the username/password fields are on the home page, already filled, and a user doesn't even need to click on a login button to be taken to a login screen.
