@pilis00 Or mods move it where I posted it instead of moving it into General section for some stupid reason...

@pilis00 I can't find my post anymore as I know I was asking about it. Could be I was asking in Ubuntu/Manjaro forums about it.

There is a post about it from 2017 here:
https://forums.opera.com/topic/23065/opera-48-0-will-not-open-in-maximized-window?_=1745331241823

There are many others from 2022 and 2023 too. Frankly, I don't want to fiddle with it, I just want to install Opera and use it. All browsers start maximized, just not Opera for whatever reason.

@leocg There are reddit posts about it that are like 7 years old...

@leocg That existed for years at this point. Why it hasn't been fixed yet?

@pilis00 It's not on Windows where it always opens maximized. It's just in Ubuntu where it does this and I remember it doing the same in Manjaro).

Also, if it's such general issue, why the frick it wasn't fixed yet? I've had this issue YEARS ago at this point.

Why was this moved to General? It's Ubuntu/Linux specific issue. I don't have this issue with Opera on Windows. ?!

Opera always opens centered on desktop in Ubuntu

Why is it doing this? It's so stupid and annoying that I need to maximize it every single time after opening it. Running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, fully updated.

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'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.

@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).

@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...

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

@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!

@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.

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.

@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.

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.

Would be nice if anyone put any kind of effort into Opera Touch for iOS instead of stuff like this... You know, adding stuff like I don't know... Opera Sync to Opera Touch? Everyone is asking for that and nothing. No one asked for media players and here they are. Ugh.

Unless you're on iOS in which case it's big FU. No normal Opera, no Opera Mini, nothing. We're stuck with useless Opera Touch that doesn't even have any kind of syncing capability just useless MyFlow which serves god knows what purpose. Sending instant messages to yourself so you read what you already know. But can't get that bookmark you need from home because it doesn't work both ways, but does with syncing. Heh. Even though we had it in Opera Mini for iOS like century ago...

Why aren't we getting summary news posts about big releases anymore? It's version 68 now and I'd like to know what 69 will bring. And all we seem to get are detailed beta logs of every tiny changes I'm not interested in at all. But I'd like to know what I should be excited about in Opera 69 or 70 further down the update trail.
