@4troses I've partially solved this by 'starring' https://sync.opera.com/ so it shows up on the New Tab page, under the Top Sites. This gives you one-direction access to your existing bookmarks (i.e. you can't edit them in any way), but it's better than nothing. Only works if your synced data is not protected by an additional sync passphrase...
@ultravio1et I know it's a bit of a hassle, but you can get to your bookmarks (read-only) by 'starring' https://sync.opera.com/
This will give you a direct link from the new tab page to your bookmarks, but you won't be able to edit them in any way.
Hello. I've noticed that ads in Google Search results are not blocked in my Opera for Android, even though the adblocker is on and appears to function well elsewhere. Is this a bug or a deliberate internal whitelisting? No websites are whitelisted in the adblocker settings.
Details:
@leocg Does the flag opera://flags/#cashback not disable this extension? It's disabled by default in my version, but that could be dependent on location.
I couldn't find anywhere in the stable iOS app to report bugs/crashes, so am posting it here.
Version: 1.6.0 (Stable, not Testflight beta)
Description: Opera Touch crashes consistently on iOS 12.2 whenever 'Share' >> 'Open in Touch' is selected for any URL in other apps. I think Opera Touch crashes somewhere in the process of something, because a 'ghost window' flashes very quickly after 'Open in Touch' is tapped, but then this disappears and I remain in the originating app.
I have captured a screenshot of this Opera Touch 'ghost screen':
@leocg Thanks for responding to one of my questions. However, I am even more curious to know what would happen to Opera's handling of other ad-blocking extensions (other than the built-in adblocker) - is Opera providing any feedback on this proposed plan? If it goes through as currently drafted, will Opera handle extensions (and limit their functionality) as per the manifest or would it retain a backwards compatibility mode? I know it's early days, but this is an important matter close to many users' hearts.
Thanks Stefan and thanks to the Opera mobile devs. One gripe: it would be nice if you could follow the main Chromium version in Opera for Android, instead of being one version behind... Do you backport security fixes from Chromium 88 into the current Opera 62 (which is at Chromium 87)?
@rastanz According to the various Reddit discussions it's a broken internal extension, which should be receiving a silent update to fix this. I don't really have any further details.
Yet the adblocker is worthless, for all your billion downloads.
It's 2022 and we still can't sync our extensions.
