As I'm one of those who never has more than 5 tabs open at a time, search in tabs is almost useless to me. But Leo and I are not developers, Opera Software will do what they want not what I want.

His argument is that malware targeting Chromium (which is the most common browser today) will mostly target Opera as well. If Opera didn't prevent external software from changing the search engine then any adware that would change your search in Chromium would also change it in Opera

Changed title to "Saving", as you can't view anything without downloading it first.

@thanhonap Don't steal other people's threads. If your issue isn't the same as the one in the thread title (and yours is not) then start a new thread.

They told me they'd try to get the Desktop blog back up before the weekend - but doesn't seem like they did.

In that case, moved to "Forum Feedback"

If you want privacy, you use a private window.

Site preview you can do now. Visit the page, and click on the in the address field. In the pop-ups you'll see the current thumbnail along with arrows next to it to cycle through the available options: a thumbnail preview or various images shown on the page.

In Settings > Browser, in the User Interface section clear the box labeled "Enable the search pop-up when selecting text". No need for a "feature request", it already exists.

You mean to your own feed (so that comments to your posts will show up on your device automatically) or in general? Not that I know an answer to either, but I wasn't sure which you meant.

@gallienus Example (someplace we don't need to register to see)?

GIFs? Nothing in Opera itself would block GIFs. Any extensions or some advanced firewall? Most firewalls don't filter content, but some do ...

@evolity Settings, in the section about Speed dial features, you can turn off the search box there.

Broswer version - see Menu > Help > About Opera.

@pja1 How are you opening the link? If I want to open several links at the same time I usually middle-click each to force it to open in a background tab.

@vannthemann Details? Version of GX and of your OS, for example.

@kennedysafari1988 And if you are having trouble with Opera News - this forum only supports the browser, contact someone at the news hub site.

@gomi So you don't want your own computer to know you're connecting to it?

A VPN is an external proxy. If the VPN server is connecting to your computer, your computer is not "localhost" to it. And that is why the question is silly.

Honestly, I'm not sure what your post has to do with the Opera browser.

@c10h16o If the page is crashing, you'll have to go into the folder and delete your session file. You could try very quickly pressing ESC when you start to cancel the operation, but going into your profile folder to delete the session is next after that. And if that doesn't work, then a profile reset.
