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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

I too would like to get rid of this annoying ad.

@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.

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.

No longer working. Extension site & support site are down. Yet another great Youtube mp3 extension gone.

@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.

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?!!!

I received an email from Opera claiming I requested to reset my password. I Did Not Request a Password Reset! I'm beginning to think Opera got hacked. Again. Looks like I'm going to have to change yet another password thanks to these scum!!

Disregard this post. I found the notification setting for that in my profile. However, I'm not too happy about having to totally disable that since now I'll never be notified about any sign ins that could potentially be from someone other than me.

I had recently accidentally factory reset my tablet and had to restore my copy of Opera browser on that tablet. I also had to reset my sync data yet again due to the reinstallaiton of Opera Android caused my copy of Opera on Windows 10 to create a duplicate Speed Dial entry for my tablet. This has turned out to be a major hassle since I am now constantly being bombarded with emails from Opera notifying me of a new sign in Every Single Time I signed in to both browsers and even to Opera sync and the Opera forums! It's annoying. The windows version of Opera I am using has been installed on the same machine I had since my hard drive replacement and has never been totally 100% uninstalled then reinstalled. I only downgraded it back to Opera 58 due to my dislike of the latest update a few months ago. I understand that factory resetting an android device might cause these emails to be generated when I signed back in, but why would they be generated for a PC version of Opera that has never been factory reset?! Is there a way I can stop these emails from spamming my inbox without changing my email address or password?

@temkem Tried your suggestion of adding disable-background-networking to my desktop shortcut and so far Opera hasn't nagged me to update. Not too happy about losing the ability to update extensions, but it's a small price to pay to stop Opera's harrassing me to update.

@leocg I had already deleted all files named auto update. I have been doing that for a while now. I never rename them, just delete them. Also I could find no temp folders for Opera.
