@leocg You missed my question, so I'll continue assuming until otherwise that there is no way to get to Passwords or Autofill through clicks only.

In other browsers, I've figured out how to quickly get to my passwords with just a few clicks.

In Opera, I have to search "pass" in Settings to get the section to show. The section appears to be in "Autofill and passwords", but when I try to find that while in Settings, I'm left with a bunch of dead ends.

When I look up the instructions - https://help.opera.com/en/latest/web-preferences/ - they appear to not be correct:

• Go to Settings.

(Which button is meant? The 3-line "hamburger" button at the top right? Or the 3-dot "ellipses" button at the bottom left? Are these called "menu" buttons or "settings" buttons anyway?)

• Click Advanced in the left sidebar, and click Privacy & security.

(I see no "Advanced" anything from either menu/settings button.)

• Under Autofill, click the category you are interested in – Passwords, Payment methods or Addresses and more.

(I can only find Autofill by searching "auto" in "full browser settings" from the top-right menu button; nothing I click so far goes to it.)

• Turn on the Save and fill… option.

(It's already on anyway, it was enabled from install setup, and I have passwords saved.)

Anyway, here I am spending time typing this out because it's so annoying having to search for common settings by typing words.

Please either clean this all up (including instructions) or let me know the "clickpath" (what to click) to get to passwords.

@burnout426 Doing it your way didn't show the problem. The problem is intermittent though, I'm not sure exactly the parameters that cause it, and your example apparently doesn't have those parameters.

I've run into this twice today: I copy an image from Opera, paste it to some other app, then copy or cut a URL or part of it from Opera, then go to paste it in another app, and the picture pastes.

I can tell from the cut that the selected portion disappears, which normally means it's put into Windows' clipboard.

Since the problem has only happened from images and text in Opera, this implies Opera is messing with Windows' clipboard, or is not actually moving the text to the clipboard. I've never seen this with any other app. I haven't installed any plugins, and Windows multi-clipboard is disabled.

I'm miffed that there appears to be no way to do this.

Having a prefix is nice - when I can use the prefix... but, not all contexts allow me to do that.

If I wanna right-click -> search, I need it to search with Startpage. Every context that I want to search, unless I go out of my way to do a manual search, I want to use Startpage.

Opera is apparently restricting users from adding their own default search engine:

https://help.opera.com/en/latest/search/#defaultSearchEngine

Why? Does Opera make money from the already-listed search engines, and are told that no other ones can be set as a default by users? What kind of an alternative is that to other browsers? That sure sounds like Opera the browser is under the thumb of some search engines...

Every time I need to check something (like passwords or autofill, Just Examples) I have to type in their names instead of seeing them easily in menus like Chrome is designed more intuitively.

Right now (just examples), I'm not finding where the Autofill section is in the menus, I can only type in the word in search in settings, then it shows the section, but it doesn't state its parent section... it's so frustrating. This means if I want to remember easily how to just click through to find a certain section (which has become easy in Chrome), I have to scour everything until I find it, then I can note it somewhere if I forget.

Please please please add some sort of breadcrumb trail when displaying sections, even in search results, so we can note them later for clicking. Typically scroll/click is easier for me then click+typing.
