I am also facing this issue

Hi,

It looks like the main issue here is the cookie settings in Opera. Since you’ve blocked third-party cookies, Spotify might not be able to keep you signed in between sessions. Disabling this setting or adding Spotify as an exception could help fix the login issue.

Your use of secure DNS and tracker blocking is good for privacy, but sometimes these settings can interfere with how websites store login details. Try turning them off one by one to see if Spotify stays logged in when you restart Opera.

Another simple fix is clearing your browser cache and cookies, then logging in again. After that, allow cookies for Spotify specifically so it remembers your session.

If none of these steps help, and since you mentioned the issue is still happening, you can check the discussion here for more details: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Accounts/I-got-randomly-logged-out-of-my-spotify premium-account-and-it-says-it/td-p/6399398

If none of this works, you might also consider updating Opera or even trying Spotify’s desktop app instead of the browser. It usually handles login sessions more reliably.

Hi,

You can find Opera’s official system requirements on their website. Based on your computers, you're good to go—both setups meet and exceed the minimum needs. Opera runs smoothly on Windows 7 or later, needs around 300MB of free disk space, and at least 2GB of RAM, so your Intel Core i3 and AMD A8 systems with 8GB and 16GB RAM respectively are more than capable.

Hi zmkzmrd,

Adding Snapchat to the sidebar like Instagram would definitely be a useful enhancement. It would allow for quicker access and better multitasking for those who rely on Snapchat for communication and content sharing throughout the day.

Snapchat plays a big role in real-time interactions, and having it easily accessible could make the user experience much more seamless. Since other social platforms are already integrated, it makes sense for Snapchat to be part of the lineup too.

While we wait for this feature to hopefully be considered, if you're using Snapchat and facing any camera or refresh issues, you can check out official troubleshooting steps here: https://help.snapchat.com/hc/en-us/articles/7012355599380-Troubleshooting-Tips-for-Snapchat-Camera-Issues. Keeping the app running smoothly will ensure you’re ready once better sidebar support is available.

Hi Haifeng,

It sounds like a possible compatibility issue between the weather widget and your version of Opera or a problem with the website’s location services. Try the following steps:

Clear your browser cache and cookies, then reload the page.
Disable any extensions (especially ad blockers or privacy tools) temporarily to see if one is interfering.
Update Opera to the latest version if you haven’t already.
Try opening the site in another browser (like Chrome or Edge) to see if the issue persists.

If the widget still keeps refreshing, it might be a bug on the website itself—consider reporting it to the site admin with your browser and OS details.

@tarafab Opera should fix it.

Really handy extension — makes browsing a lot faster once you get used to the gestures. Took a bit to customize it to my liking, but now I can’t browse without it. Great work!

Hey Gfacekilla,

The wallpaper transparency option in Opera depends on the version of Opera you're using and whether your system supports transparency effects. On some devices (especially lower-spec or older systems), this feature may not appear.

To check, go to Easy Setup (top-right corner of Opera) → scroll down to Wallpaper → see if the “Use transparent wallpaper” toggle is available. If it’s missing, make sure you’re on the latest version of Opera, and try enabling transparency effects in your Windows display settings too (especially if you’re on Windows 10 or 11). Let us know your OS and Opera version if it’s still not showing.

Hey John, it sounds like the files you're trying to open were saved in a format that isn’t directly viewable — likely HTML or JavaScript-based files. When you see the Opera logo on them and get a message about needing a JavaScript program, it usually means the file is trying to run a script but isn’t meant to be opened directly like a normal document.

Instead of double-clicking those files, try right-clicking and opening them in Opera or another browser like Chrome. If the files still don’t display properly, it’s possible they’re not complete webpages but rather partial data or links that don’t work offline. Let me know how you saved them originally — that can help figure out what’s going wrong.

Hi yahowa,

That’s definitely annoying — if Opera keeps saying “can’t confirm your identity” even after solving the CAPTCHA correctly, it’s often due to browser privacy settings blocking necessary scripts or cookies. Try turning off Opera’s built-in VPN, ad blocker, or privacy shield temporarily, and make sure JavaScript and cookies are enabled. You can also try the same process in a private window or switch to another browser to see if the issue is Opera-specific.
