@zalex108 Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not about to go messing with the OS at the moment since I've had to have two harddrives on two separate laptops replaced within months of each other (one due to MS's forced update of Win 8.1). I'm just going to deal with what I got for now.

@arealpenguin As I had said before in another post, Opera hasn't been the same since I got saddled with Windows 10 Creators Update which is version 1803. I would roll back to my previous version which was 17something but the repair shop I use never provides backups of Windows so I'm stuck with shitty 1803. Anyway, it sounds like you may have version 1803 of Windows 10.

I have just about had it with sync and the devs' refusal to listen to our complaints and fix this disgrace of a sync service! Not only does it always sync my open tabs now, it duplicated ALL of my speed dials (even my laptop speed dials are now listed under Other Speed Dials on the laptop)!!! I can't delete them because they just keep coming back! I have tried SEVERAL TIMES to fix this by 1)Resetting sync data 2)Updating Opera on laptop 3)Updating Opera on one android device 3) Downgrading Opera on android device with updated Opera. The only way for me to get rid of these duplicated Speed Dials is if I completely delete ALL of my data and reinstall Opera and not log into sync. I know that works because that's what I did for one device (the one where I updated Opera). THAT is NOT an acceptable solution for me. Seriously, why can't the developers get there act in gear and fix Sync?!! It can't be all that hard to fix since I've had very little trouble with Firefox's sync or even Dolphin's sync back in the day and when there was a problem it would be almost immediately fixed with them within an update or two. This has been going on for far two long! I just might give up and go crawling back to Firefox sync again.

What version of Win10 do you have? Opera does not really play well with Win10 Creators Update for me. Also sync has been iffy for a long while now. It does work, but only when it feels like it.

I have the same problem. What I had to do is download this extension to delete the search history. Form History Control from the Chrome store. To be able to get it you need this extension Install Chrome Extensions. I use the extension to keep what I want and delete what I don't.

You can also Set the "chrome://flags/#enable-autofill-native-dropdown-views" flag to disabled. That will stop the search history from being saved.

I updated to 58.0.3135.47 and now I can no longer delete my search history. I don't mean the browser history, I mean the stuff you enter into a website's search box. Before the update, I would be able to delete the previous searches by clicking on to the search box and then hitting the 'X' that appeared at the end of each previous search entry. Now that X is totally gone from most pages and I am no longer able to delete those previous searches unleess I use an extension! However, if I disable the extension whatever I it deleted is still listed when I click on the site's search box! How am I supposed to get rid of previous searches without having to probably delete all the data stored on Opera?! I'm not going to reset Opera again, since the last time I did, all my extensions got deleted even tho' it said that that wouldn't happen. Give us back our right to delete whatever we want from the search history on ALL sites!!!

I ran into the "something went wrong" message a couple days ago. I absolutely DID NOT sign out or reset sync. I also noticed that I was signed out on my android version of Opera (which is vers. 43 -- I refuse to update it because I despise the newer ui) I DID NOT sign out on there either! I was able to sign back in after restarting Opera, but it's obvious that I can no longer trust sync to keep me logged in. With each new update, Opera becomes more and more of a steaming pile of crap!

@karakule i agree. It's a pain in the rear having to delete previous versions by yourself especially if you forget to do it after each update.

@sangheeta Thanks for the suggestion! Wish I'd known about that sooner. Works like a charm.

It sounds like the same problem I've been having with Opera on Windows 10 Creators Update where it takes 10 or 20 times of hitting reload to get a page to load. Also I can't get any extensions to install sometimes. Opera has really gone down hill this past year if you ask me.
