I'm constantly finding myself duplicating tabs.

Would love a keyboard shortcut to make this
go faster.

@leocg said in Struggling with which version of Opera to use on my Razr:

@rif Flow is a feature of Opera and Opera Touch, you don't install it.

Oh, how do you use that?

I think polls are a great way to determine the overall consensus of users.

Wish we could do them here.

I also would like to have different zoom levels for different tabs.

Was just going to suggest this when I found this thread.

I would love to be able to do this. I just tried it in the
latest Chrome and that works for me.

Hope Opera adds this sometime.

I travel frequently so I'm constantly on maps.google.com to see where I'm at. I've never had a problem with it finding my location. These past few days it has not been able to locate me. It has been able to locate me in Chrome. I'm on a Win 8 Opera 54 installation.

I haven't changed anything in my setup. But yesterday and today I deleted the permission for Google to look up my location (That didn't help) and just now I deleted all my allows/denies so Google would ask me again. This didn't help.

Any thoughts or ideas on things to try?

All the below sights find my location in Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox.
None of these sites locate me in my Opera. Have tried multiple plain jane installations of Opera (USB, Beta, Developer, etc) to no avail.

Do these sites work for you? If they do then I'm really stuck trying something different.
Any ideas?

WTF!
This morning I'm in a different location and ALL the
above websites find my location WITHOUT using a
private window!

rif

Another day with all the above sites locating me.
Hope this was just a temporary glitch.

rif

Try this...
Open a new tab
Open a 2nd new tab and go to a website
Go back to the first tab. Is it empty?

Mine is.

Win 8.1, Opera 54.xxx

@leocg said in Operamail future?:

@rif First, Opera Software Asa and Opera Software As may not be the same thing.

Second, the registrant name is the original name back on 1990"s or it's the current name?

I'm just assuming ASA and AS are the same. I just can't see it being a different company.

I just checked a couple of domain names that I know for sure have changed ownership and it always lists the current owner.

All this being said, I do hope we will get some official notice on this.

@leocg said in Operamail future?:

@arobbo Most probably the Opera that owns that domain is not the same Opera that runs this forum.
Opera was splitted when it was sold and this Opera was left only with the browser making part.

The other Opera, whose name changed to Otello Corporation kept the rest.

Based on this I would surmise that Otello owns operamail.com.

My wife has had an xxxx@operamail.com email since the beginning. We pay Fastmail a little bit a year to have a premium account. She sure likes the interface. That is all coming to an end. Anyone else here in the same boat?

Here's the email she received from Fastmail....

Hello,
We’re reaching out with important information about your email address and the way you access your Fastmail account.

We're disappointed to share with you that we’ll no longer be able to support sending or receiving mail using addresses ending in @operamail.com, effective June 2022. You'll need to update your Fastmail username before that time. We strongly encourage you to do so immediately, to ensure you have plenty of time to transition to your new email address.
Note that Settings → Billing & Plan screen will prevent you from renewing past the effective date of June 2022 until your username is updated.

Why is this happening?

The operamail.com domain is owned by Opera, not Fastmail. We've handled mail at the operamail.com domain on Opera's behalf since Fastmail staff bought back the company in 2013. Opera has since advised us that they will no longer allow us to handle mail through this domain. We're troubled that we need to ask you to make this change. We can assure you that we're happy to guide you through this transition.

Can I still receive mail at my @operamail.com address?

Upon updating your username, an alias will automatically be created for your @operamail.com address, and you'll continue to be able to receive mail there until June 2022.

What do I need to do?

Update your Fastmail username
To continue logging in, your username will need to be changed from one that ends in @operamail.com to one at a different domain. This can be any of the other domains we own, or a custom domain.

To change your username:

Log in to fastmail.com with your current username.
Visit Settings → Users & Aliases.
Unlock the page by entering your password at the top of the screen.
Click Edit next to your @operamail.com username.
Click Rename next to your @operamail.com username.
Use the dropdown box to the right of the @ symbol to select a different domain.
Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and click the blue Save button on the left side.
Once this change is made, the new username can be used to log in to fastmail.com and the Fastmail mobile app.
Update third-party apps
Updating mail syncs
After changing your username, you'll need to update the username and corresponding app passwords in any third-party apps you use for email. You can use our setup guide or refer to our help pages.

Updating calendar syncs

If your calendar app supports autodiscovery, we expect updating the username and app password in the app settings will maintain the sync.
If your calendar app does not support autodiscovery and instead syncs via CalDAV URLs, these URLs need to be updated after changing the username to continue syncing.
To get the new URL, visit Settings → Calendars, then click Export next to the calendar you want to sync. A pop-up window will appear with a new CalDAV URL. You can copy and paste this into your calendar app's settings. For help navigating your app's settings, refer to our setup guide.
Other syncs
If you have files or contacts synced with third-party apps, you'll also need to update the settings of these apps with the new username and a new app password.
Thank you for being with us for so many years, and we hope that you'll continue to allow us to work with you for many years to come.

Regards,

The Fastmail Team

When you go to a particular item on walmart.com either on android or desktop it gets displayed with the same url.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Somerset-Home-Series-Microfiber-Sheet-Set-Blue-Twin/27534432

I tried sending that url to android via flow and it displays fine on android,
When you try and send it back to desktop it gets changed to:

https://web.flow.opera.com/ip/Somerset-Home-Series-Microfiber-Sheet-Set-Blue-Twin/27534432

I filed a bug report

rif

Android version 61.2.3076.56749
Desktop version 73.0.3856.284

Steps to reproduce....
Go to walmart.com
bring up any item
send to flow
try to open on desktop and you end up with a url like this....

https://web.flow.opera.com/ip/Hamilton-Beach-3-Cup-FreshChop-Mini-Food-Chopper-72603/454902455

Tried switching to desktop version but that doesn't help
I use flow a lot and have never run across this before.

@redbird14 said in Thumbs up for Workspaces:

FML, I just looked at my original message and I guess there's nothing new in this one

Grin
I don't know how many times I've had 2-4 instances of Opera running with 5-10+ tabs in each and then
I would close one by accident. Grrr. I think for that reason alone I'm really going to like Workspaces.

I did notice some lag time restarting Opera. I'll see how it goes now.

@redbird14

I just discovered workspaces and was wondering about memory use.
I regularly had 3 instances of Opera going with 5-10 tabs in each.
Going to play around with this for a bit and see if it speeds things up.
