Can we please get syncing of search engines? It's so annoying re-doing it EVERY bloody time on every system when I add a new search keyword to one of my systems. And same goes for Extensions. I use many of them and changing or adding them by hand on every reinstall or change gets really annoying. I mean, we have the Sync feature which is there for this exact purpose. Why not use it? Search engine keywords are one of the most awesome features I've used in any browser. No more clumsy search fields, you just drop a keyword and word you're searching for and it'll look it up. It's why sync is so important for it, so you have same search engines and keywords in all browsers no matter how much you add or remove them.

Sync Extensions and Search Engines please!Suggestions and feature requests

Close tabs to the leftSuggestions and feature requests
Why is it automatically assumed one would only want to close all the tabs to the right from current tab? I've often came to a point where I had tons of tabs open, but I wanted to close them to the left of currently active tab. Why is this not an option available to the user?
When is this useful? When you for example open several image galleries and bunch of individual images from each of these galleries. But then you want to close all the tabs with galleries that remained on the left and only leave opened images on the right, because you only need images in the end. Currently, this is not possible because "Close tabs to the left" doesn't exist as a function.

Bookmarks syncing for Opera Touch, when?Opera Browser
Since Opera Mini for iOS was apparently sacked, there is no way of getting desktop bookmarks on mobile device since Opera Touch doesn't even have bookmarks, just MyFlow which isn't really useful at all. Are there even any plans for bookmarks syncing to see the day of light in Opera Touch?

RE: No Opera Sync Option on iOSOpera Browser
@leocg So, why it can't "co-exist" on iOS too? And don't tell me same lame excuses how iOS browsers aren't really whatever they are elsewhere. I don't know why Firefox can perfectly sync stuff. And how Opera could with Opera Mini before they sacked it. Or how Chrome, Edge and to some degree Brave (buggy but it has sync).

Any reason why Install Chrome Extensions isn't included in Opera by default?Opera for Windows
For example, Vivaldi allows installation of Chrome extensions out of the box, but for Opera you need to install an extension which by itself is consuming tons of memory for no logical reason other than simply being there. Why? Why not just make it a part of browser like Vivaldi has done?

Synchronization of search engines and extensions, when?Suggestions and feature requests
Is Opera ever going to get synchronization of search engines and extensions. I mean, for those of us who use several machines, it's really annoying to maintain every installation of Opera by hand for every change you make. And that also includes extensions and search engines. I want the same things in all my Opera installations. And syncing would allow that. Firefox does it, Chrome does it, just Opera doesn't for some bizarre reason.

RE: Does Opera Touch sync bookmarks?Opera Browser
Opera Mini for iOS is garbage with forced Google search and stupid news and Opera Touch does't have synced bookmarks.
My Flow is imo the most useless thing I've ever seen. Synced bookmarks mean you have bookmarks accessible on any device in their entirety. My Flow requires you to send specific thing, otherwise you have nothing. Not to mention I don't understand why Bookmarks can't be synced alongside. There's nothing preventing it. But Opera people decided to just exclude bookmarks altogether. I know iOS has its own stupid limitations, but none of it limit functionality of these browsers. It's the devs who just decide to f**k it all up so I have either good desktop browser and shitty mobile one or vice versa. It's ridiculous. Opera Touch would be great if only they added bookmarks syncing. And that's it.

Tab stacking as Firefox does it instead of this shrinking mess from Chrome/OperaSuggestions and feature requests
Can you guys at Opera please change the behavior of tabs when many are open to be scrollable sideways at fixed size instead of shrinking them till they become 2 millimeters wide? It's ridiculous. Opera shrinks them so far you don't even see any text on them anymore. And to make things even worse, if you're using it on a touch device like my hybrid HP X2 netbook, using touch to select a correct tab is like trying to press a keyboard button using Boeing 787 left wing.
Firefox has this far more elegant. Tabs remain fixed size, so they are easily selectable, you can see the title on the tab, close it with the X button on it and to access more tabs, you simply drag the tabs and they scroll left and right.
Why can't Opera use such system instead of idiotic one from Chrome? Google makes many good designs, but with this one, they totally missed all the GUI and UX design basics. Like, entirely. -

@leocg Yet it replaced it because Opera Mini had Sync and it's gone and now all we have is useless pointless Flow.

Lucid Mode on images is so extreme it's uselessOpera for Windows
Youtube videos actually look good with Lucid Mode in most cases, but photos and images, the sharpening is so ridiculously extreme, it just makes looking images painful. It's like applying 100% luma sharpening effect in Photoshop on a photo, saving it and then applying 100% luma sharpen on it again. It's just white oversharpening edges everywhere. Intensity slider would be preferred for both, video and images, but if it has to be fixed value, it seriously needs to be toned down for images.

I don't care about cookies list in built-in adblock?Suggestions and feature requests
I'm not quite sure why Opera Mobile has a dedicated feature to block cookie banners, but for some reason desktop version doesn't. On top of that, it doesn't even have "I don't care about cookies" list as selection. Vivaldi for example does, but Opera doesn't for god knows what reason.
Would be really nice if "I don't care cookies" list was just there in the list of available filters and you could just select it without having to hunt down its URL and manually add it to the list.

RE: No Opera Sync Option on iOSOpera Browser
@leocg I don't use it for anything because it's useless trash. The fact that Flow came in and Sync was dropped, don't you think that means Flow replaced Sync? What kind of weird logic you're even applying here? Jesus...

RE: Flow doesn't sync between devicesSynchronization
@leocg Yes it is when garbage useless Flow is still around and Sync isn't. It's because of this change that I had to stop using Opera because if I can't sync bookmarks with Opera on my iPhone, then there is no point in using it on desktop either. Great job Opera! It's been like this for years now and it makes no sense. Instead of expanding reasons for people to use their browser they cut a portion of users who depend on sync. Again, great job Opera!

RE: Flow doesn't sync between devicesSynchronization
@leocg That's BS and you know it. Then why was superior Opera Mini with Sync replaced with garbage a** Opera Touch without sync, but has the useless Flow? What else is that than Flow replacing Sync? Also why the hell would you need "something to quickly share something between phone and desktop"? If you're sharing it from a phone, that means you're not actually near a computer, otherwise you'd be doing it on a computer in the first place. And it can't be "oh I did something on a phone and want to put it on PC now". Sync does that without you having to explicitly "send" something through stupid Flow which is just a glorified messenger where you can essentially only chat with yourself. Most useless thing I've ever seen ever and they killed other stuff in favor of this trash.

RE: Flow doesn't sync between devicesSynchronization
Flow is absolute worthless garbage and I don't understand why Opera is emphasizing it in all versions while stripping away Sync. Opera on iOS had syncing of bookmarks in Opera Mini. And got replaced with Opera Touch trash that they later just renamed to Opera Browser. Flow is like a dumber, more limited version of Sync. I want bookmarks to be synced and effectively, by doing so they made Opera as whole useless to me as an iOS user. Why? You had a functioning sync and you removed it Opera. Why?! I'm basically forced to use Firefox because it's at least not stupid and has a functioning sync on all devices. Heh.

RE: Opera GX Mobile is here – Great News for Gamers on the GoBlogs
@hex1984: A must have for what? What can Flow possibly do that full fat Sync can't? Also at which point I said Flow should be taken away? Opera desktop has Flow and Sync. iOS Opera only has Flow. After it had Sync and they just removed it by sacking Opera Mini. Every time anyone suggests anything you all jump in defense like we're planning on taking candy from babies. Not having bookmarks with you at all times is one of most annoying things ever. It defeats the purpose of browser on multiple devices.

RE: Opera GX Mobile is here – Great News for Gamers on the GoBlogs
Why this pushing of useless Flow function instead of giving us proper bookmarks sync? Seriously? The Flow thing is Useless when browser sync does the same and much more because you can have same bookmakrs on all devices. Sync is just an overglorified memo. Useless.
