Please provide instructions how to disable the news posts.

@leocg I cannot find any setting that will allow me to disable the news feed on my speed dial page. Please provide steps to do that. Thank you.

OMG!!!! I fricking HATE the "news for you" on my speed dial page! Please remove it. It reminds me of a sleazy online tabloid. I already have news sources I use regularly and this mess certainly isn't going to be one of them. I don't even use MSN, Yahoo or other news sources like this because of very cluttered webpages.

I downloaded 52.0.2838.0 and have a couple of questions about existing issues...

• Selecting weblink on a webpage does not open a new tab. Weblink opens in the existing tab. It is so inconvenient to use the back button to go to the first webpage.

• When entering text in search field and suggestions are displayed, selecting a suggestion does not populate the search field.

• VPN still not working correctly. Sometimes the VPN button randomly flashes between blue (connected) and orange (connecting) and causes issues with websites.

When will these issues be fixed? Thanks.

I have this same issue and has been going on for a while. It worked for a short time and then reverted back to not accepting drop down suggestions in the search field. I have to type in all of the search query.

@zalex108 -- I began using Opera developer about a year ago because of the VPN feature. Until just recently, I didn't have any issues with VPN. Now that VPN is causing significant issues and might be disabled by Opera, I don't see the advantage of using Opera versus other browsers.

@zalex108 -- Unchecking the hardware acceleration worked for a short while, then the buffering started again. I turned off VPN with hardware acceleration still unchecked and now videos load fast and no buffering. This leads me to believe using VPN may also cause slow video load and buffering. My internet connection speed is 200mbps, so I know it's not a speed issue.

I am using Opera dev 51.0.2809.0. The issue is happening on both my laptop using Windows 10 and desktop using Windows 7. When VPN is enabled and I go to YouTube, the language/text is Russian. I checked YT settings, which are still set to English and location set to United States. With VPN enabled, I changed virtual location to Americas, but still have Russian language. If VPN is disabled, YT defaults to English. How can this be corrected without disabling VPN for YT? Thanks.

I figured out how to stop YouTube and other videos from constantly buffering: Settings > Browser > System > uncheck Use Hardware acceleration when available. Doing this has significantly reduced video buffering. I know it wasn't checked before and perhaps with an update, it became enabled.

Using 51.0.2802.0 on Windows 7 desktop. Yesterday the issue started with videos not playing on a lot of websites. Some YouTube videos play, some don't. FB videos won't play either. The video looks like it is starting but then the screen goes black. How can this be resolved? Thanks.

I agree! These same sites are being placed on my Speed Dial page too! I keep deleting them but they return. I want to control what websites I want to add, so stop adding random sites to my Speed Dial page, Opera!

Using developer version 49.0.2695.0. My speed dial screen currently shows a Google search bar that I would like to remove and change to another search engine bar. Is this possible and if so, how? Thank you.

I am running beta version 49.0.2695.0 on my laptop and desktop. Syncing between my 2 devices no longer works, and I see an icon in the upper right corner of my speed dial screen that is a people shape with an x next to it. I signin on both devices and a popup window shows to sync. When I click on synchronization, nothing happens. I logged in on the Opera website and did a reset of my data. I can signin but still not able to sync devices. How can this be corrected? Thank you.

I have Opera 44 running on 2 laptops using Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro and 1 desktop using Windows 7 Pro. All 3 machines are having the same issue, which started recently. When I type something into the Google search field on the Opera speed dial screen and predictive text is displayed, when I click on a selection, it does not populate in the search field. I have to continue typing the entire text in the search field and then hit the search icon to complete it. This is so frustrating. Selecting predictive text in Opera used to work on all 3 machines but not anymore. Internet Explorer 11 and Chrome work fine selecting predictive text on all 3 machines, just not in Opera. How can this be resolved? Thank you.

Recently, I started to receive "out of memory" messages while using beta version 41.0.2349.0. Using Windows 7 Pro with 16G of memory, 1T hard drive. Sometimes only 1 website tab is open, no other programs are running and I still receive the "out of memory message." I do a retry to reload the webpage and still get the message. What might be causing this and how can it be fixed? Thank you.

Message: Either Opera ran out of memory or the process for the webpage was terminated for some other reason.
Try reloading the page or navigate to another page to continue. Reload this page.

I have Opera dev. version synced with my home laptop and my desktop so information is the same. I use a laptop at work and have Opera installed on it. I thought it would be a good idea to sync that laptop with my other 2 computers. BIG MISTAKE!! When I came home, Opera on my home laptop and desktop have now synced with my work laptop, and I lost all of my bookmarks!! My work computer now shows only my work laptop which are very minimal. How can I get back my home bookmarks again? If I can't, I'm through with Opera. Thank you.
