Opera really needs to get some kind of save speeddial option because I'm fed up to the teeth of re-doing speed dials. What is wrong with these browser makers, Vivaldi you're lucky if you can even keep the speeddials visible. I think all these browser makers need a kick up the backside.

I've tried copying the .db files as I've always done in the past but I get no luck at all. To be honest it is very lame we cannot easily copy the speed dials. The Sync is a joke and doesn't work.

I used to be able to just copy the .db files of thumbnails, favourites etc but now none of them work in newer versions of Opera and I see some files are missing. I want a way to save my speed-dials on the HD external to Sync because for me Sync doesn't work and even if it did I'd expect future problems just as I've seen with Mozilla etc. Opera should have an option to save its speed-dials to a file. Why do we have so much space on the speed dial wasted by a poxy Google search which we can do in the address bar? Make some more room for better or more dials like in Vivaldi.

Why couldn't this bug happen on Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Skynews or the BBC? Why did it have to happen on one of the only real journalist websites with real news that we have left? Fix this and fast please always check Rt.com presstv.ir, sputniknews.com and tass.ru before releasing Opera versions.

I cannot view rt.com in any shape or form all I get is the out of memory. I've never experienced this with rt.com before and I've been used developer on my win 8.1 machine for a long time. This is very annoying as I've had to use the beta which seems to use more of my resources than the developer.

Opera Stable has started to work on Baboom so it must have been a problem with Kim Dotcom's side

Opera Stable 18.0.1284.68 on Windows 8.1 will not allow you to play tracks on Kim Dotcom's new Baboom music website. I have no problem with Maxthon or Palemoon on that new website. You end up clicking play and a message box appears saying "oops there is a problem". I thought Opera going to Chrome was meant to stop the site incompatibilities? I only went onto the Stable version because Opera screwed up the last two Developer versions, well never corrected the main bugs of the last but one developer. I had no problems with developer since its creation until now, very disappointing!

I am stumped by your problem if you do not have either suggestions running. I agree that overall Windows is a more stable operating system in some ways but until you try multiple distributions of Linux then you never know how good or bad Linux is. I do not like Ubuntu and it is a resource hog especially for lower spec PCs. The KDE desktop on Linux is much nicer than Windows 7 or 8 if you have a nice spec PC but it crashed on me once using DeepLinux but that could be the distribution. I used to run Zorin OS6 on my desktop full time and it all worked very well although it is based on Ubuntu but looks like Windows 7 etc. I favour Crunchbang and Archbang Linux. When someone moves from Windows to Linux they will always find things not to their liking initially but the more you play the more you will eventually come to like Linux and see its many advantages. I've gone through hundreds of distributions and I find flaws with most whilst some adore them. I come from the days of the Commodore Amiga so I do not mind playing around to get what I want going. It is a shame that ReactOS is not more polished and finished so you could replace XP this way. I just get so annoyed having to run firewalls, antiviruses etc on Windows systems all dragging its performance down and the constant cleaning etc I have non of this with Linux and the thing flows. Then when Windows wants to update, afterwards things seem to be slower than before. Always try the live-USB versions before installing until you find what works well for you but do not give up, at some point you will have to turn to Linux if it is an old machine or bin the poor thing. Try the new Maxthon on your machine in portable form and you can have the engines of both IE/Chrome in one or the Avant Browser which is IE/Gecko/Chrome with a hell of a lot of options for customization. Hope someone gets off their backside and finds a solution to your problem soon. But with this site these days you will need much luck. The old Opera team went away a long time ago, some died or one did so it is not as great as it once was when it was a true pioneer and quality. All I can say is make sure you have Service Pack III added to your XP but I am sure you have this.

Yes the highest I have had open at one time was one-hundred and sixty five tabs and Opera handled this with pure ease and smoothness. No other browser works so well with so many tabs open, tabs which are extensive websites. Opera is too interested in sucking up to Apple slaves with their iPads instead of making a good all rounder Windows browser. Its time Opera had its own unique look instead of this Chrome look. Where is the individuality going today? All cars look the same as do televisions and everything else. Not surprising considering they are all controlled by the same super entity controlling everything on the planet. Opera is teaming up with Facebook so God help us all as The Worshipful Company of Technologists take over the world. Look at how the Warburg family of opium dealers took over US internet hosting with their front Endurance International, imagine how quickly they can suppress internet information when they want to soon. Opera was a very unique browser and now it is nothing different except a bit more performance. Right now I'd say Avant Browser is the most adaptable browser. My PC is a HP Intel Core I5 2.6Ghz with 6gig of RAM and HD4000. We could do with Maxthons CPU monitor and download/upload speed options as well as the IP addresses!

I would suggest you make sure your firewall is accepting Opera and allowing it to connect to the internet. If you want to move from Chrome to another browser and you still cannot get Opera working then look at the new Maxthon, try it in portable version first. Firewalls are usually the problem or any anti-malware software like iobit-malware fighter, they can block connections to the web. Your Chrome may be accepted quickly my a firewall whilst Opera is ignored until you adjust. Have you ever thought about dumping Windows XP and going onto something like Crunchbang Linux or Archbang Linux if you have an older PC?
