Wow i can't believe this is back again, what a terrible feature. Opera, can we the users please vote on what becomes 'permanent'? I'd like to not migrate to another browser just because of you all are getting 'creative' again

@leocg said in How to disable tabs list popup?:

@daniellb The option is to disable the list of tabs from the same site. The pop-up with the page name/info can't be disabled, but it was never possible.

It was a flags option, so it absolutely was possible...not sure what you mean?

@noker612 said in How to disable tabs list popup?:

In this latest stable version (85.0.4341.18) it can already be disabled. Which is located in Settings / Advanced / User Interface / "Show tabs from the same domain in tab tooltip".

Theres a big difference between the word 'disabled' and what you've quoted there...

HScrolling is a good idea, but we still need an option to disable tab tooltips completely

"Opera’s strategy to make the use of crypto more mainstream" -- just because you can doesn't mean you should. Do Opera users really need a way to send p2p payments to each other that doesn't exist in a thousand other forms already? Is this something the userbase has asked for?

Personally I've only used Opera because it its fairly basic, and didn't follow the 'cool' trends, but a crypto push honestly just makes me trust Opera less...

@burnout426 Thank you, I'll try that, although not being able to disable raises the question if a malicious extension can install itself with this restriction, or only official ones.

And pardon the (apparently, on second read) panicky tone of my post. Its just all just a little frustrating. I appreciate your help

@burnout426 Thank, you can also see the rest of the files in the extensions folder in %user%/appdata/remote/(etc...) which has a list of websites and something to do with earning 'rewards'.

What I had meant was I wish Opera displayed these hidden extensions in the extensions list. Or state publicly what they are/do. I've never installed an extension, and the list only shows the disabled Opera ad blocker. Yet the extensions folder shows 3 recently updated, and claim to be official. And a script name like 'web3_insights' makes me think they are scraping and selling my browsing data.

The OP is a serious security concern that doesn't have an official response. Even appearing benign, the script has no explanation. Its nice to have a helpful community, but so far there are just guesses, when the actual answer needs to come from the people who wrote the code.

@iorweth Nothing to do with Log4j, its added in by Opera themselves; for me the extension first installed around the same time as this article (https://blogs.opera.com/tips-and-tricks/2021/04/say-hello-to-web3-as-opera-adds-native-support-to-unstoppable-domains/) and it's manifest says Opera Software AS as author.

I just came across this today myself, and upon deleting its folders out of suspicion, on restart Opera announced an extension was corrupt, and immediately redownloaded it. I have no extensions installed otherwise, and this one is invisible too.

At first glance it seems to be connected to the Wallet feature, but I have that turned off. But it looks benign otherwise...I wish there was a way to get more info about these little add-ins.
