I was thinking about trying Opera again. Has the speed dial not mirroring issue been fixed yet? (I have 7 main machines - last thing I want to do is manage bookmarks 50 times a day)

It takes quite awhile to copy bookmarks. (especially since you have to stop and figure out which is the current one - then which is the right computer). If you spend 10 mins a day trying to keep bookmarks in sync, that is a hour a week, 52 hours a year, 520 hrs in a decade. That is 21 days every 10 years you will spend doing nothing but fixing Opera's mess.

Ya, it is time we had Speed Dial Sync. The backup to "other dials" is nice, but a modern browser without sync is sad.

any way to turn off the speed dial spam that has shown up in the latest release?

Even if you click 'don't show again', it comes right back on next speed dial preview.

@maxdule Yes, I rarely use other bookmarks other than speed dial folders. If you visit a site you want to visit later, but don't need it forever - SpeedDial is the way to go every time. The only way to keep them in sync with opera is to constantly edit your bookmarks 'other dials' folder.

To differentiate between speed dials and bookmarks is kinda silly.

@kanikavatsyayan Well, that is pretty dumb to ask for the same info that is freely available on Wikipedia.

Opera is traded as OPRA on Nasdaq. You can look at the last financials here: https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/opera-limited-announces-second-quarter-2021-financial-results-revenue-growth-exceeds

I would like to know if anyone anywhere has ever found any privacy violation by Opera?

• tracking user urls?
• tracking user searches?
• sending any private data (other than required by Sync and News services enabled by the user)
• tracking other than telemetry crash data.

It just seems so disingenuous for anyone to attack Opera with Zero evidence.

Opera has more competitors now than it did 10 years ago. There are a dozen competing browsers out there now. That is a dozen companies with proactive social media people to spread FUD.

Reinstalled - reconfigured - finally went away.

All though speed dials still don't sync

My solution is to run the portable version of Opera and just dump the whole thing in Dropbox. Works great on fast fiber connection, but when I am the road on public wifi, it's pretty slow. I tried moving the cache outside of Dropbox, but it then i have to login to opera sync account every time I switch computers (apparently session credentials are stored in the cache).

It's a kludge, but, it syncs speed dial bookmarks - that makes me happy.

@ploink Ya, speed dial should just start as the root of bookmarks.

It's by design. Not everyone wants to have the same speed dial on all computers.

Which is cool because Opera has ALWAYS been about user choice. So give us the choice.

You can make a request or, even better,
show your support in one of the already existing topics about it.

Apparently those channels are turned off because we've been waiting for this simple option for many years...

That is the issue, Speed Dials don't sync (they get copied to a another bookmark folder).

We want the option to sync them.

I just don't get why they wouldn't give us the option. I mean, I don't begrudge them earning cash from the speed dial suggestion ads, but there should be the option to sync speed dials. It doesn't make sense not too.
