Sync has never worked right for me. My desktop periodically log itself out, need passphrase, or reset. My phone still shows bookmarks from a year ago, and synced tab is completely screwed up.

Yes please bring it back, it's the most annoying part about the new version. Some people like to have 50 tabs open but I like to keep them down. Having to open a new tab to get to speed dial and close any unused ones instead of recycle them with one click is annoying, even with mouse gesture.

@leocg said in Opera is being blackballed by more and more sites, can we have the mask as xxx back?:

@nsx There are several extensions that can change the user agent. You can also report the problematic pages to Opera, so they can (try to) fix the issues.

True, but for something this critical, I think it should be built into the browser, especially consider it was a standard feature before (which didn't work all the time tbh).

More and more websites no longer recognize Opera as a valid up to date browser, include some important sites like banking and paycheck. This just makes it harder and harder to continue use Opera as the main browser.

So can we hit pause on fluff modes and have the mask as chrome function back and make sure it works well?

@leocg Disabled as well ("Opera notifications" within in app settings).

Regardless of settings, the fact I'm 5000 km away from England and clicked on "dismiss" multiple times should be enough to stop it.

@leocg

No, news is disabled, as well as any promotional content I can find in settings.

@leocg said in WTH is EPL matchday?:

When and where are you seeing that?

Bottom of speed dial almost every day when opening browser.

Press dismiss only for it to come back next day.

The funny thing about this debacle is on actual youtube video it pretends to respect whatever by auto mute the video and require you to click on it, even though the ad immediately preceding it blasts at full volume automatically.

And how many times do I need to click on "dismiss" before Opera gets a clue that I have absolutely zero interest in getting spammed with commercial every time I start the app?

@Lord-Blizzard It works here.

Same here

I guess you don't watch youtube, because Opera's adblocker work on neither pre-roll video ads nor banner ads.

@Zappy-Owl But there is a reason free VPN has limits and sells premium subscriptions, they have to make money. Opera has too, so it's unrealistic to expect them to offer free VPN with same level of service as a paid provider.

Doesn't private window already do exactly what you ask?

They cost money to run and you are getting it for free. As a user I don't think they should be allocating more resources for that when there are so many dedicated VPN providers out there.

I've noticed that the build in ad blocker doesn't work on youtube, the pre-roll video ads very frequently get through and banner ads is always there.

It's less noticeable on desktop if I have only build in blocker active. 3rd party extension like ublock origin completely remove any youtube ads however.

Is this an failure on build in adblocker or did Opera make some sort of deal with google to not block their ads?

Nothing you can do, I disabled the homepage news after it has gotten so bad that 40% of the real estate are dedicated to news.

@tauto I'm on 71.0.3770.148 (regular windows version) and the button is there. Well sort of, as part of the search open tabs button.

Just checked update and the "show more" is back, haven't noticed if any recent tabs are missing yet.

Although I would've preferred if it's expanded by default, or at least an option to keep it expanded.

Does Vivaldi has password storage and sync between desktop/android client?

Right now the pain of migrating stored password is pretty much whats keeping me from migrating to something else.
