I do it this way. Go to http://sync.opera.com on the computer that you want to open tabs from another computer. Click on Tabs and find what you want to open and click on them.

Easy to follow instructions here...

@jstahliv83 Checking in for what?

The problem of Missing Speed dials!

I left my computer for about an hour, came back and
my speed dial was gone. Only thing left was four
speed dial folders.

Also, when clicking on the heart in the sidepanel
nothing happened.

I closed Opera and still the same with my
speeddial but now I could see my bookmarks.
I was able to copy my speeddial from
"Other Speeddials."

I just got a an Amazon Fire tablet and got it so I could d/l Google Play Store stuff.
I'm presented with a few options.

What's the differences?

I don't have a smart phone so I've never had any chances to check
on these before.

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.

This quasi-monoculture might threaten security and diversity.

To amplify on this very real risk with a currently-unfolding example, Chrome/chromium developers are at this very moment evolving major changes to a critical chromium API via their proposed new ManifestV3 API.

This is quite a few months old, but do you have any update on this Blackbird71?

I was talking to my Uncle who's going to China in 4 weeks and he mentioned that he won't be able to use Facebook over there as its blocked.

He had heard that some VPN's will get around the block so you can Facebook.

Will Opera's VPN work in China so you can get Facebook?

I don't see a keyboard shortcut that you can configure for that.

Ctrl-W will only close the currently highlighted tab.

@browzer1 said in How to change your browser ID within Opera:

@rif ... Does this not change the Opera "statistics" on web browsing? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

Yes, it does affect the usage stats. If a user can access a site by changing the browser ID, it's a good thing for him in gaining access to the site... but it's not a good thing for Opera's market share stats. The ideal would be for websites to respect and operate properly with Opera's genuine user-agent string or respond to user complaints if they don't. But all too often, that's not how the online world seems to operate...

Exactly. Ever try to email a big company such as Hulu and tell them the site works in Opera but you have us blocked for some reason.

I'm sure we've all run across sites that "Don't work" in Opera. Usually (But not always) because of the browser ID string.

Well I just signed up for Hulu and it wouldn't work in Opera so no big deal, it worked in Chrome and I was happy.

I mentioned this to my daughter and she said she got it to work in Opera! I was pleasantly shocked. I guess
she's more tech savvy then I realized!

Here's how

1. Right click on page and choose "Inspect element."
2. Click 3 vertical dots in upper right corner, "More tools, Network conditions."
3. Uncheck "Select automatically.
4. Click on the box right below that and choose your Browser ID string.
5. Refresh the page you had trouble with! I use Shift-F5
