@leocg I'll never understand why great features get dropped. Opera has been my default browser since Version 1 (really) and while great things have been added, some really useful things have disappeared.
(Probably my favorite "only in Opera" feature was the toggle between "Show all Graphics" > "Show only Cached Graphics" > "Show NO Graphics". The Internet was SLOW back then, but this feature would still be priceless for (1) mobile browsing with slow data or a limited data plan and (2) browsing services like Facebook that are totally choked with meaningless graphic glut. (In both cases, the name of the image appeared and clicking on it would show it.) I would use that feature daily if I had it.)

RE: Force Default Font?Suggestions and feature requests
@leocg The default Opera for Windows. not GX or Air. (Although I would suggest the option be offered everywhere it's practical. It used to be there, although I don't know how many years back that was.)

Force Default Font?Suggestions and feature requests
Once upon a time, an Accessibility feature enabled forcing the text on a Web page to be displayed in the default system font (e.g., Arial or Times New Roman). I've searched and can't find that feature anymore, but it was very useful for some of us older folks viewing sites where "readability" wasn't foremost in the creator's mind.

[Suggestion]Graphics All/Cached/None toggleOpera for Android
On my Wishlist since it went away years ago: Very early Opera versions had a wonderful button. Click and you see all graphics, Click and you see only downloaded cached graphics, Click and you see No graphics, just text. Priceless for saving data (it was dialup back then, but still important now for those on limited cell data plans). And would be so great for clearing the graphic glut on social media and just see the text!

Facebook 3-dots menus don't workOpera for Android
I love using Opera Android for Facebook because the ad blocker works so well. (I honestly don't understand how anyone lasts 5 minutes in FB without it.) But lately I find that touching the 3-dot menu on a post (Edit, Hide, Delete etc..) just shows "Loading..." but never opens the menu. I've looked at all my Opera settings and see nothing that might do this. Suggestions?

RE: Make Opera return to my startup page, not the "Start Page"Opera for Windows
@leocg Thanks for responding! But that's way more trouble than should be necessary. For now I've placed my Home Page as a button on the Start Page, so it's just one additional click to get there. Just bugs me when a basic feature that was around forever disappears.

Make Opera return to my startup page, not the "Start Page"Opera for Windows
For decades (I go back to Netscape 1 and Opera nearly that long) my browser Home Page has been an HTML file stored on my PC. It is exactly what I want, organized just the way I want it.
I have set Opera to open to this page when I start the browser.
My Question: I want a 1-click route back to that page, Not to the Opera "Start Page" which is the icon with the little grid of 4 squares at the top. Is there a Home button I can add to that bar that I can set to return to my Home Page? -
RE: option to disable sidebar.Suggestions and feature requests
Would it help if it was movable (perhaps to the right side)? We might hit it a lot less often if it was over there.

Bring back "No Graphics" buttonSuggestions and feature requests
I go back to Opera Version One. And way back in those days of dialup, there was a button that switched between All Graphics, Cached Graphics Only, and No Graphics. I loved that then, and would love it again! One button would kill ALL the JPGs GIFs and PNGs (and videos) on the page and just let me scan the text without distraction. On phones/tablets even more valuable since it saves data and valuable screen space.

Button to turn off graphics in pagesSuggestions and feature requests
Way back when, Opera had a button in the top bar that toggled between 3 modes:
- Normal; shows everything
- No Graphics. Only text displayed (made browsing superfast)
- Only Cacjed Graphics. Anything that had already downloaded displayed, but nothing else.
Even in these days of fast Internet, there are still lots of times I'm doing research that I wish I could just see the text with nothing else in the way.
Any chance of ever bringing that button back?
