Is it possible to synchronize Opera with anything other than Opera?

Preferably, any Chromium bade browser?
Just an idea I had to speed up switching to Opera.

Thanks.

My solution to this sort of problem is to use CCleaner.

The problem or something like it exists on all Chromium based browsers, each of which clears on exit slightly differently.

With CCleaner and careful tweaking (do not just check all boxes) you can get it to clear however you want. You can even spare certain cookies while clearing the rest,

I have added a number of search engines in addition to the out of the box defaults. It's pretty much the same drill as for any other Chromium based browser, except ...

1. What does "use post" mean. I have ignored that checkbox and all works OK, but I'd like to know for future reference.

2. Is is possible to make one of the search engines I added into the default? The option exists on the little drop down menu, but it won't take it when I click.

3. Is it possible to delete a default search engine?

I'm currently in the process of switching to Opera and want to be setting up some non-default shortcuts.

Do Chrome command line parms work for Opera?
Or otherwise what are the command line parms?

Thank you.

There is an offline flash substitute. Not a browser plug in.
Caution: It does have security issues.

But this website is OK (complete with warnings about the download)
==> https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/downloads/

I wish to stress that I'm not a N00b when it comes to VPNs in general (on the job), but I never used them for web browsing. So no need to avoid getting technical.

First of all, I just want to say that I really love this feature, but I still have some questions.

1. I note that some websites can tell I'm using a VPN. I'm guessing it's due to the Opera IP addresses being well known. Is that correct, or is there some way they tell directly?
   .

There is this website ==> https://whatismyipaddress.com

It tells your IP address location according to the HQ of your (notional) ISP, and and one click away from the actual server location and other information about your connection. It does both IP4 and IP6, and appears to give correct information when I use it without the VPN.

With the VPN enabled, it gives me locations that do not correlate with the selected virtual location.

2. Why is this?

Usually it shows a location Cameroon, and yet Africa is not on the virtual location list.

3. Why are Africa and Australia not on the list? Is the reason governmental or technical?
   .

And finally ..

4. Is there any significant difference in Opera VPN behavior when done in a private window?

Like so:

Other browsers (both Chromium based and Firefox) automatically picked this up automatically when installed on a windows system that already has any flavor of Kaspersky anti-virus.

But Opera did not do this for me.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is it not supported? Or do I need to do something else? It's not a deal killer, but I'd like to have it if possible.

FWIW, Kaspersky flags Opera as a trusted application.

Generically it displays the URL on a colored background, but some well known sites have some sort of avatar or branding graphic.

1. Are these stored locally within Opera or do they propagate from the sites (as it might be like favicons)?

2. Is there some way to install non-standard ones, particularly for sites that do not have them?

Thank you.

@burnout426

Very good.

I already prohibit Kaspersky from updating any non-K software, so that's in order.

Thank you.

@donq

Thanks.

Not having any particular problems, but I'd like to know if Chrome command line parameter --process-per-site works for Opera?
I know it doesn't hurt anything, but I'd like to know if it works.

Likewise the contrary parameter --site-per-process.

Thank you.

@beeters

OK. Seeing how it goes with AdBlock Plus default filters alone.

I'll report back whether it makes for quicker response and still not letting in bad stuff.

FWIW, Opera is not my default browser for business and I primarily use it for the VPN. So I'm less bothered about the potential privacy hit.

@opera-comments-bot

Using it now, having previously used it on another Chromium based browser.

Seems to be working OK, including playing nice with Opera's built in ad blocker.

@kanelakis

Just checked for update. All is up to date.

Still looks like this:

Two things that maybe(?) make a difference.

1. I only do 2 tiles.
2. Default wall paper.

@passenger-chi

Can't seen to get it to take.

Not a big deal. I will just continue to use the Adblock Plus extension.
I had the idea Opera would load faster if I got rid of it.

@leocg

Maybe I missed something. I will look again.

It might be helpful to note what OS you're running and other set up details.

For myself (having no problems) still on Win 7.

@leocg

I tried that, but it won't allow a local file as a list.
