Sync does work, however it works only when it wants to not when you want to. With me, it can take anywhere from a couple minutes to hours for anything to show up on android. And the only stuff that does is my open tabs. My history very rarely syncs and when it does, it's usually stuff I've already removed from my pc history. I've given up on Opera of ever fixing this since there's practically no support from actual Opera employees and sync has been buggy since the get go.

RE: Stop modifying bookmarks bar without permissionSuggestions and feature requests
I agree. Opera devs need to stop forcing their crap "default bookmark suggestions" on their customers. Not everyone uses the net for travel, business or shopping.

Please, please, please add a manual sync button and actually fix syncing of the history!!Synchronization
I keep hoping that all of the sync bugs would get fixed with each new update, but it seems it may never happen. I've kept quiet, but I'm getting pretty tired of my desktop version 49.0.2725.34 (running on Windows 10 home 64bit) not syncing the history with my Android version (43.0.2246.121183) Everything else syncs fine (bookmarks, tabs, passwords) but not the history. It only syncs the history when it wants to and not all of my history gets synced when it does sync. Opera desperately needs a manual sync button at least on Android so we can have all our things synced properly.

RE: Advertising link at top of start pageOpera for Android
Updated to 80.1.4244.77335 today and now, a whole bunch of ad sites showed up at the top of my homepage! If Opera weren't the only browser (other than Chrome) whose sync function has the least issues for me, I'd ditch it for good

Opera no longer allowing users to delete search history on all sitesOpera for Windows
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!!!

RE: A Manual sync buttonSuggestions and feature requests
I agree we need that sync button!! However, I'm not too happy with the new download ui and I'm not the only one. Others have been complaining in the play store that it's become a hassle to have to do extra work to rename a download or change file locations.

RE: Delete history for specific websitesOpera for Windows
I use the V7 History extension to delete multiple entries for specific sites. It's much better than searching through Opera's history and deleting them one by one.

RE: When attempting to add bookmark the bookmark folder is emptyOpera for Android
It's the same with me when using the dark theme. I have to switch to the light theme in order to be able to see my bookmark folders if I want to add to them.

RE: Sidebar only on Speed Dial pageOpera for Mac
I quite agree. It's yet another pain in the rear that the devs decided to force on their users. Opera used to be one of the best browsers out there, then China had to go and ruin it when they took over. So now i have to add the bookmarks and extensions pages like I did with the tabs page (for when Tabs aren't syncing) to my Speed Dial so I can get to them quickly without having to constantly switch the damned sidebar off and on or right click on Speed Dial. I liked it much better when the sidebar stayed put on the Speed Dial only. Now, it's either no sidebar or permanent.

Opera 53 has added unhideable greyed out extensions to toolbarOpera for Windows
Updated to Opera 53.0.2907.37 today and now I have greyed out extensions on my toolbar that have been hidden before and now I can't hide them again since these are extension that have no options to hide them. The only way I can hide them is if I enable more extensions. This just adds a double arrow that I DO NOT want. It's bad enough I can't get rid of the annoying Instant Search pop up everytime I open Opera for the first time after an update, now I have to deal with ugly greyed out extensions that have no business being on my toolbar when they were NEVER there to begin with before Opera 53. Opera just keeps on getting worse and worse everytime there's an update.

RE: My flow "failed to connect"Opera Touch
@bothpills Thanks for posting that! It was the only solution that worked for me. I was going crazy trying to get the flow to work after having to reset my sync data yet again.

Pandora slows down opera and causes "Out of Memory" errorOpera for Windows
I was attempting to update my sub for Pandora using Opera. Opera suddenly started running ultra slow when I got to subcription page then out of no where, an "Out of Memory" error page popped up.
Pandora was the only tab I had open, no other tabs or windows were open. I have the latest version of Opera and am on Windows 10.

It's been blocking archiveofourown.org everytime I click on a link referring to the site.
Any other ao3 links on other pages don't block the site, just the ones on Tumblr.

RE: When attempting to add bookmark the bookmark folder is emptyOpera for Android
@anaristos Glad to help. I already had Opera set as default way before this happened so I'm guessing it's probably an issue an update since I've had no problems until recently.

RE: Change Password now I can't log in using the browser!!!Opera account
@slytheringirl I had to upgrade my copy of Opera (which I had been avoiding because I despise what Opera has become over the past 2-3 years) as well as reset my sync data to get Opera to let me sign in. This sadly seems to be a permanent occurrance/issue with sync since the devs no longer care to listen to their users and actually fix sync. It's a shame really since Opera is the only browser (after Dolphin killed their Firefox extension years ago) that did sync properly at first, now it's as bad as all the others with syncing to android.

Change Password now I can't log in using the browser!!!Opera account
I changed my password due to the suspicious email I posted about and now I can't login to sync my bookmark or passwords! All I get when trying to use the browser login is an error message "An error occured with the login process. Try again" on the windows version and "Incorrect password" (when using New password or "Temporary server error. Please try again." on Android. It's the same if I try to login using my Google or Facebook accounts to sign in.
Edit: Changed my password again using the "forgot password" link and Still Can't Log In !!! I can only log in throught the web pages not the browsers
Edit 2: Tried making a New account. Still no luck!!! What the damned hell is going on?! How can I fix this?!!!
