Fyi. This is how it looks in Chrome. (I just had to use it there, too. The feature is IMO very useful)

Bookmarks sort by dateSuggestions and feature requests
Hello,
sorting bookmarks by date would be very useful with the following detailed options:
- Date created (added)
- Date last accessed
- Restore to previous (unsorted) state
Thanks!
PS. This question asked before, but I repost it through my account.

Bookmarks organization cut, paste, copy URL, etc.Suggestions and feature requests
Hi,
could the Bookmarks management capabilities be improved?As of now,
- No cut and paste, only moving (drag and dropping) items through ~hundreds of items across folders
- No copy of URL (by right-click; it must be manually extracted or launched)
- Sorting per folder: A-Z or Z-A or by Date entered or modified
- Encryption -> See https://forums.opera.com/topic/66521/hide-secure-or-lock-bookmarks-from-showing?_=1699261803726
Thanks for considerations.

Download icon gone missingOpera for computers
Hi,
issue isn't new, but alive. Where is the download icon, why does it disappear, why does it not re-appear if a new download is initiated, and how to fix all this.
Regards
PS.
As mentioned, the question was asked and closed with "I had to reinstall Opera and didn't know." -- This (reinstall) is no solution.https://forums.opera.com/topic/42515/solved-downloads-progress-bar

RE: Synchronization has encountered a problemOpera for Windows
Information from the field:
Notice that the sync might be "Offline" right after starting Opera. Before you reset the password or change sync settings, wait for it, be patient. Of course this behavior is less-intuitive, but I noticed it can take up to some minutes for the account indicating "Data is synchronized" after cold Opera startup (machine off for some days).
If Opera team will think sync through, also this delay could be considered.

Hide, secure or lock bookmarks from showingSuggestions and feature requests
Hi,
can this be considered a feature: I want to hide (not display) certain bookmark folders.
(Reasoning: I have several customers; in meetings, when entering URLs, the customer does not need to see the names of other customers or sensitive information)
Another option could be password-locked folder, so that it will only show URLs in search/URL address bar, if password entered or decrypted.
I have searched for solutions, and found (crappy) third party plugins. None of those gave me the impression that the solution was stable, secure, and supported in case of problems. It was completely unclear where those bookmarks are begin stored etc. Those are not solutions, but new issues.
Would it be a feature request to handle bookmarks with advanced security. They are data items. Some contain in the URL sensitive information. Are they even securely stored at Opera services (GDPR)?
Kind regards

Stop auto-launch of apps, etc.Opera for Windows
Hi,
is there a similar setting in Opera as is in MS Edge, so that auto-launching of apps/software can be disabled?
According to MS support, the following string (below) will point to a setting which "Automatically block or allow apps based on a list from Microsoft."
edge://settings/content/applicationLinks
(The above solution will not help, because I do not use Edge!)
The issue has to do with MS Teams, or most likely some other software that is being auto-launched within the browser.
In case of Teams, once an invitation for a meeting can be joined, another tab/window opens, providing two options how Teams can be used (see screenshot). The issue is that at the same time, the Teams app is actually loading without having selected any of the provided options.In other words, how to stop Teams from auto-loading and skipping the shown options?
How to disable or reset Teams from auto-launching within Opera?("Remove Teams" is not a valid answer.)
Regards

RE: Synchronization has encountered a problemOpera for Windows
It seems that the sync is "connecting" only seconds to minutes later. I noticed the user was "logged in", but sync was showing "not sync". Some minutes later, everything is "sync" (blue shadow behind icons).
But what also is not clear is, what does "data is encrypted" mean? Does it include bookmarks?
-
RE: Synchronization has encountered a problemOpera for Windows
@tonyfaso1234 remember that „one death you must die“.
The browser is good, but that sync bitch needs a separate password. Store it accordingly into your pw-manager and mark it „sync pw only“. Regards -
RE: Sync figures?Deutsch
This issues still persists on other machines. Bookmarks is still nil. How?
Maybe "History" means "Bookmarks" and "Open tabs" means "History"?

Sync figures?Deutsch
Hi,
after update to 100.x ("One") I have the following findings.- Bookmarks are shown as 0
- Open tabs are 313
The bookmarks exist (should be >>1000 I guess). But the tabs, I have no clue what that number means or is supposed to mean.

RE: Synchronization has encountered a problemOpera for Windows
Hi, right now it's working again. Note that sync is using a dedicated password, not the Opera account pw.

@leonardoemilian good, but I don't move. "The grass isn't green...". This can be fixed. Patience.

Synchronization has encountered a problemOpera for Windows
Hi,
I get the message (see title), but what exactly the problem is, seems not clear. I am logged in, I am logged out and in, but Opera isn't happy about it. How to debug "a problem"? Any specific domains or routing the sync is trying, since I am behind some FWs, DNS, Spam filters, etc. -
RE: DoH not off? Google DNS stillOpera for computers
@leocg Not set in Win 11 IP4 or 6. Double checked DNS IPs across tools, it seems to be working correctly now (DoH in Opera off = no Google DNS). Will monitor and check on other machines, too.
-
RE: DoH not off? Google DNS stillOpera for computers
@leocg correct, Win 11 supports this. However, if I turn it off in Opera, NextDNS is telling me "uses Google DNS". So either, the turn-off is not turning it off (bug) or somewhere else the thing is "on". I can instantly switch between e.g. Cloudflare or Google DNS, and the correct selection is active. However, DoH turned off, then Google DNS is apparently used. This is also the case with latest Chrome: If DoH turned off, Google DNS remains active.

DoH not off? Google DNS stillOpera for computers
Hi,
If I turn off DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS), could it be that it's falling back to 8.8.8.8 Google DNS?
In other words: Off isn't off.
I'm currently debugging my machine, somewhere the 8.8.8.8 slipped in.The goal is DoH but outside of Opera.
Thanks

RE: No page name in search/history suggestionsOpera for Windows
Hi, note, the trick suggested by @AtomicBullz does not work any longer for my Opera client. The problem persists, cycling through Light-Dark does not improve the situation.

RE: Search bar empty contentOpera for Windows
The problem persists, in fact, it's getting worse: The trick "cycling through Light-Dark" doesn't work any longer for unknown reasons.
