2. Some sites aren't keeping me signed in to multiple portals within the site.
   Wikipedia would be the most well-known site this happens to. I sign into English WP, but it doesn't keep me signed in to Spanish WP or Italian WP.
   What setting do I need to turn on/off for.

3. Again, some sites don't allow- as example, Yahoo (another fairly popular site) does not allow me to even see the comment section of articles. I realize that some articles no longer allow comments, but those say that they don't let comments. The ones that do just have a blank spot where the comment section should be.
   Anything I should turn on/off?

4. Facebook Marketplace - the account/saved item sections is gone. Of course, I don't use FB often, so it could be another FB redesign. But it was there before I upgraded. So, which setting do I need to chage?

2. It is a problem with cookies while incognito in 82. My settings work fine when not incognito. Oddly, I went back to 58, and everything works again.

@leodis said in main page configuration:

hi, is there a way to have on the main page of the browser all the links that I have on the main page of the app in the android version of my smartphone?

I had thought that the entire point of 'syncing' bookmarks was so that it was the same on all devices. Boy, was I wrong.

@ogrfnkl

my first inclination would be:
make sure your position is at 0 and not -1

Without knowing your level of confidence, if it was me, I would open up the settings file and manually edit the placement.
And then, if it moves after, you can check the file to see where it is moving to.

So, finally, after all this time, some websites started to not function on 58 - which forced me to update.
At least I can say that some of those hideous traits of the early 60s that made so many of us revert back, some of those have been fixed.

But, this leads me to a couple questions:

First, please note, I am always in incognito mode (except when changing settings).

1. How do I get rid of that ugly purple color. I am always incognito. I don't want to look at this godawful color scheme.

5. This damn side bar (which I have just about emptied out). I don't need to see it when I have a webpage open. I only need it when I am on the 'start page' and need to select a link to click. Not to mention I am afraid it will cause screen burn being there all the time no moving. Can I get rid of it for this, while still keeping it on the start page?

6. Why are there so many search boxes.
   6a. Why do I no longer have the choice of search engines even though I clearly see others listed in settings?

I am running Opera 58.
I stopped updating because, while in incognito, my shortcuts kept opening a non-incognito window.
I run incognito exclusively.

It has been a year (almost 2). Has this problem been fixed?
*FYI, I don't care that you call it new programming nor that you blame it on some open source 3rd party. To me it is a problem. So, the phrasing, from my perspective is correct - has the problem been fixed?

Also:
coming from 58, what other changes have been made?

@leocg said in Cleaned computer, now lost all speed dials and bookmarks:

same for any software in your computer if you don't make backups. Specially b

But most, if not all, software allow you to create a "hard copy" of important stuff.

The entire point of a web browser is the internet - aka, webpages.
If you can''t open it in private mode, why bother having private mode.

I did end up getting rid of it.

All that was needed was -
change my current wifi settings to prevent the pc from auto-connecting when I reboot.
reboot.
delete all of the old version folders.
delete the auto-update files.
delete the installer and installer helper files.
delete the notification helper.
delete the task schedules.

AND I added it to the environment.

I don't know which of those things finally made it work. Nor do I care.
Although, I am not sure, but I think the ad block lists aren't updating.

Which just goes to show you how "can't open internal pages in private mode" is a load of donkey dung.
If you can open it one way, you should be able to open it the other way.

well I'll be a monkey's uncle....

I went back to 58.0.3135.90 because I don't want to deal with 60.
Now I am dealing with a red menu button that wants me to "get the latest security update" - which takes me right back to 60.

Yes, I have turned off the scheduled tasks. Yes, I have deleted the auto updater file. Yes, I have rebooted.

What else can I do?

60 was just too much of a hassle.
And it won't be a problem for me since the auto-update feature hasn't worked since 46.

If I have to find a new browser, I will.

Which is just ridiculous. What good is private mode if you can't use it.

What exactly is an "internal page" ?

@rh99 said in Is Bookmarks an absolute disaster? Has Chrome destroyed it?:

How can designers be this clueless? Who would not want a default sorting system?

I happen to like that the newest ones at the top.
Particularly since most of my hearts are short term. I organize what I want organized and the rest are right there, a jumbled mess until I delete them.
Much easier to find them when I don't have to hunt for names I don't know.

I know about the "click tab to go to top".

But I have also been having random screen moves. I thought it was something I was doing (like an accidental tab click), or a website that didn't finish loading entirely and then scrolled to the top when it did finish.

But I am starting to think it is just another WTF since I updated to 60.

I understand that professionals (in any field) have language they use, but some of us learn that we need to "dumb it down" for the non-professional.

So, since I am not a professional at computers, talk to me in English.

I add links using Opera (the little heart that is next to the address). I organize my links.
But now I can't use them as intended.

How does that make sense?

@splatterbear

That is correct. It no longer "works that way".

The good people at Opera thought it was important for incognito mode to only be partially incognito.

But there is a "workaround".
Instead of clicking bookmarks from the sidebar. Click it from the menu button.

HOWEVER, make sure you are opening it on a fresh tab, otherwise it will leave incognito mode.
