A somewhat similar extension is this one, but it works on a whitelist principle rather than a blacklist https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/whitelist-manager/?display=en

There are other VPN extensions in the opera catalog. Try

• Tunnelbear
• DotVPN
• Zenmate
• VPN.S HTTP Proxy

extensions. You can search for them on addons.opera.com and install them from there. I hope at least one of them works.

We have tutorials and documentation for making opera extensions here https://dev.opera.com/extensions/

@redcapshortcut : Right now we select the ones we like and ask them for promo images.

However, we are about to work on improving this and have a way for anyone to submit their promo image themselves in the submission process itself. Will take a bit of time to implement though, but its coming.

Its now there as an opera extension https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/privacy-badger/?display=en-US

For people who are not getting to see the proper page - are you using any parental filter / anti-virus / corporate firewall etc? If so, which one? This will be usefull info for us if you could share it.

Thanks for reporting it. We'll investigate asap.

Hey @omarcheek - We're taking a look at how to overhaul our search process and add to it. Your example is great here and we'll keep that in mind in improving it.

Can you please visit opera://net-internals/#sockets and click "Flush socket pools" to see if it fixes it?

We don't support requireInteraction at the moment. We'll update the docs soon to specify it as well.

@jerrykrinock please check again It should be there ...

Hi @jerrykrinock

Native messaging is supposed to work as mentioned in the documentation. I've made some minor fixes in the docs, but the point remains that right now Opera looks for the chrome directory. We're re-evaluating again on whether to change this approach or not, but so far, as you have also experienced, it works as is.

As mentioned in https://dev.opera.com/articles/working-with-theme-overlay/ , certain themes with light backgrounds were not readable with the new speed dial text so a light grey background was introduced to make sure the text is legible.

We wanted to have the theme maker have control on whether they want their theme to be available with or without the overlay, which is why we introduced the 'user overlay = true | false' setting in the Persona.ini file which they could use to specify that.

Advanced users can also goto chrome://flags/#no-theme-overlay as mentioned above and disable it themselves. Having it as a more accessible option so that its available from a more obvious place is good feedback and we'll discuss this internally. Thanks!

Thanks ... would it be possible for you to file a bug? If so, then let me know the bug number

Unfortunately, we don't have that as an option right now, but thanks for mentioning it. I'll see what we can do about it in the future.

Thanks

Nope, not yet at least

Can you please elaborate on what exactly do you mean by 'sandboxed' in this context?

We have something like 'developer mode'. On the extensions management page (type in 'opera://extensions' in the address bar to bring it up if you can't find it in the menu options) ... you can find a button called 'developer mode' in the upper right hand corner. Once you click that, developer mode is on.

Then you can load your extension from your local file system that you are developing. It will enable you to easily inspect the extension using the browser's developer tools, reload it, and pack it as a .nex file too.

No, we don't host private repos or addons restricted to selected users.

The sidebar extension is supposed to be more persistent. Even if clicking soemwhere on the sidebar produces a new tab, it is quite reasonable to expect that the user still wants to focus on the sidebar. I'm open to changing my opinion though, so please do let me know of any example extensions or use cases where it might be very cumbersome.

You can right-click on the toolbar and click 'Manage extensions' to go to the extensions management page, which shows all your installed extensions. I hope that works!
