Win10 N versions are lacking in basic media capability. They suggest the Media Feature Pack:

@uxbal 3rd quarter 2018
Third quarter 2018 user base highlights
Opera News average Monthly Active Users (“ MAUs”) was 121.4 million (+209.2% year-over-year).
The dedicated Opera News app, launched in January 2018, reached 17.4 million average MAUs.
Total smartphone MAUs reached an average 195.4 million (+14.0% year-over-year).
Total PC MAUs reached an average 58.4 million (+18.3% year-over-year).
and there is a command line switch to force a specific password store:
eg:
--password-store=gnome
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=secrets
Is that auto-started when you startup?
@silverfox66 The ubuntu-like distros may need this package updated: https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
Any vpn you use for surfing the web is essentially a non-transparent proxy. The connection between you and the vpn server is secure, however. But between the vpn server and the websites you connect to, it is no different than any other connection.
"In most cases, VPN services are nothing more than an anonymizing secure web proxy labeled as “VPN”. They often claim that they “secure website connections” or “encrypt your website connections”. Neither of these are true but many companies resort to phrases like these to keep up with the competition. A VPN service of this kind cannot possibly secure a connection to a website, because it only controls part of that connection."
It must be a bug. On mine, the default is alt-f showing in the shortcuts settings. Even if I change that to something else, the alt key by itself always opens main menu.
@joshl No snow yet? This year it all started about a month early and then stayed with no relief.
The dog is sure happy about that, so he says.
Is there anything under opera://settings/content handlers
I can't tell because I have that disabled and an xfce desktop.
~/.config/mimeapps.list has this in both sections
x-scheme-handler/mailto=thunderbird.desktop;
It is what I got when I was using it. Four or five speed dials automatically came in and that was one of them. Standard fare.
@s390g2
57.0.3082.0 prerelease was proper, on debian 9x.
@dtgq Yes, I see that here now.
settings>startpage>Receive promoted Speed Dials and Bookmarks
The meaning of settings switch is reversed now in latest dev v59 on Win10, so it seems.
It was switched on; There were no promo bookmarks on speed dial.
I switched off and the promo bookmarks on speed dial came in.
chrome://flags/#partner-bookmarks-opt-out is still Default [E]
Blizzard in Nebraska, 20+tornados in Illinois. Here, just an early start to Winter.
@jimunderscorep
Same here, but I found this:
https://techdows.com/2018/08/opera-56-how-to-use-or-disable-enhanced-address-bar.html
So it won't make a difference if all that dropdown crap is already turned off by other options or flags.
Thanks @blackbird71, that could be. I use it on a v57 opera, and it didn't work immediately on first run because of a promo that only occurs once. Other than that it is good. I think it uses a pptp tunnel.
This one is adequate and is worth a try:

When vpn is on, the locally set dns and hosts file are bypassed.
