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.

@neoseo That was buried. If you have aria off - that settings hamburger menu never shows up. I had to ask chatGpt to figure out.

@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.

Really surprising this hasn't been done.

Makes you wonder don't it? 9000 features that no one was asking for later, and still no Speed dial bookmark sync.

None of the hacks for this work any more.

Is this possible at all through an extension or external program? I just don't think you can get real time access to update the bookmark file to fix the sync. It would have to be after you close Opera to have a program fix the bookmark file.

I have every option for Aria turned off (I think), button the Aria button is still showing up in text boxes. It hides some text in input boxes. Is there a way to turn that off?

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)

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.

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.

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

Now it seems even more different. If you "pull a tab off", it now, opens the window underneath the current one. Is there any way to fix this behavior? Win11.

@neoseo Any update on this. Sure would be nice to have a bookmarks sync.

@burnout426 my bad. Ignore thread. I thought this extension was by OpenAi. It's not.
