@rif Did you check in opera://settings/searchEngines to see if everything is correct for that search engine?

How am I supposed to know if its correct or not. I assume its not correct as its not working. I did look at it. My only option is to click the Post checkbox but when I do that it won't let you save it.

Type opera://a in the address field to see which ones start with a. Then, change it to opera:/b, and so on.

There are some missing from the autocomplete list though like opera://crashes, opera://update, opera://discards, opera://favicon, and opera://pinboards.

@rif In sidebar settings.

Solved!

There's nothing wrong with the file. It's just flagged for the reason Leo mentioned. You just need to add it to the exclusion list in your anti-virus.

For Windows Defender, you can look for the detection entry and choose to allow it. Or, just temporarily turn off real-time protection.

For example though, in the registry at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Exclusions\Paths", there's a dword set to 0 with the name of C:\Users\myusername\Downloads\operapassview\OperaPassView.exe that was created when I added the exe to the exclusions list in Defender's settings. But, I had no problem downloading it in the first place as real-time protection was off.

@rif And if you do the search, it searches in Google?

yes

Can you duplicate?

My png upload didn't work so here's what I'm talking about.

Sounds like the site code probably uses relative links and they aren't converted somehow ....

@rif You need to connect your desktop Opera with your Opera Touch by reading the QR Code. After that you will be able to share links, images and other things between your desktop Opera and your Opera Touch and vice-versa.

See https://help.opera.com/en/latest/features/#myFlow

In the Opera browser, click the Settings icon in the left sidebar. Click Advanced > Browser. Scroll down to System, then select Open your computer's proxy settings. Under Automatic proxy setup, toggle Automatic detect settings off.

Well I should have just googled that!
Just enter this in your address bar and hit enter!

opera://restart

@rif See https://www.opera.com/mobile

You can click on each Opera browser to know a little more about it.

Since you are on a tablet, I recommend Opera for Android.

@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 use Hekasoft (any time I make a signficant change to any of my browsers' settings or data) to manually back up the relevant personal data/settings to an external hard drive.

Had to look this one up. Looks like a good program. I don't use Freefilesync as a "Syncing" backup for Opera, rather I just make a mirror backup of the 4 copies of Opera (Three of 56.xxx and one of 12.18). But with Opera's syncing capability I've never had to restore a version of 56.xxx or its predecessors. I have 12.18 (Used for email only) installed on my e: drive including the profile and when I need to "Restore" it I can just copy it or the backup to a new computer. Works great for me. I usually backup at least every other day.

The program does look interesting in that you can use it to backup all your browsers (I have IE, Edge, FF also).

Where Freefilesync shines for me is I keep everything important to me in d:\My Documents and I sync between my laptop and desktop. Works great.

On another note, I'm sending you a PM here with a weird Opera 12.18 problem.

Well, this turned out to be MUCH easier then I thought.
Not sure where I got those parameters in 12.18 on a win 7
machine but was trying to use them in a Win 10 machine.

Hell, all I had to do was point it to the launcher.

Problem solved.
