If you have a PC with Sync enabled, go to Manage Bookmarks (Ctrl-Shift-B) and click on "Other speed dials". Delete the folder for the device in question, and the device will be removed from the server.

@shajins2k Every time you close Opera, or every time you restart your computer?

You being signed in somewhere is controlled by a cookie for that site. So if you've set Opera to throw away new cookies on exit, that will log you out. Alternatively some third-party privacy software can be configured to delete cookies - that even includes CCleaner. So if cookies are deleted every time you restart the computer, check for something like that.

On the menu go to Settings. In the sidebar, click on the option to show "Advanced" settings. Click on the Browser section, and scroll down to "Start Page". Select "Hide Search box".

Hover it, click the "..." behind the location name, select Change location. Fairly obvious.

@sirblobfish If you go to

chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark

you will see about 10 different options in the dropdown related to force dark mode, including one that applies it only to non-image elements.. You might try that.

@dion06 They're not in Stable yet, so give them time. Opera One is still in Developer, not even Beta yet. When version 100 reaches Stable, then we'll have tab islands. GX is generally a little behind Stable even. Will tab islands be coming to GX? I'm not a developer and don't know for sure, but I expect them to. But it'll be a couple of months I guess.

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.

Actually, you can copy them from "Other speed dials" but you can't sync them directly. Many people have Opera on several machines (say, home and work) and want different speed dials on different machines. There is a feature request for a way to actually sync them; add your support to that request.

Has to do with what happens when you hover (mouse over) a speed dial tile; it isn't a big thing.

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.

Task bar icon turns red (in Win 7 anyway) if you are downloading a file and there is an error that stops the download. There might be other times as well, but that's the one I've seen.

It is still in early development - they wanted to start on just one platform. When it is somewhat more mature they'll bring it to Mac and Linux.

@rwhite777 If you have more than one window open and close all the tabs in one of the windows, that window will also close. But once you are down to one window, closing the last tab does not close the browser.

@dragonlord43432 It is off the screen somewhere, one of the other threads says to press Win+M twice to get it back.

You do, or at least we do in Windows. Settings > Browser, in the User interface section. It says "Enable the search pop-up when selecting text" - clear the checkbox and it will go away.

Opera's VPN was always "where allowed by law", so if the Russian government tells them to disable it in Russia that is what happens.

Why do you think the forum has circular avatars? It's the current style.

@kelpfire1120 Go to Bookmarks. If you get the sidebar, scroll to the bottom to click the link to open as a tab. At the bottom of the folder view you will find a folder named Trash. If you haven't emptied trash, all your old deleted bookmarks will still be there.

@nakina Just ignore @viewer2012 If he can't be bothered to read the original post then he has nothing to add.

Same as in regular Opera ... go to Settings, scroll down to the On Startup section, and pick what you want to see on startup (I use "Begin fresh with start page").
