I dont know how much you are getting paid and I dont mind having to remove them once but you made few speed dail so that they cant be removed at all. They come back every time I delete them.

Just let us remove them.

Recently there has been new problem. I am loosing tabs but only in first workspace.
I am not using the browser extensively(not default/main browser) so I dont know if the old problem of loosing all tabs is still a thing. I open daily after my backup of browser folder finishes to check if the browser still has my tabs. I have to check becasue I only store 4 snapshots so if I ever left it unchecked and browser loose tabs then none of the snapshots will be useful.

@vegelund I cant speak for everyone here but I do use bookmarks, workspaces and speed dail groups . And, on top of that I even tried to make opera work by using portable version with backup software taking snapshots of whole software daily but when you are loosing tabs very frequently it becomes a problem you should not have to deal with.

Also, you have never tried to save 20 to 30 tabs at once in bookmarks otherwise you would understand how big of a nuisance that is. And when times comes for you to use them you have to open them all and then change, delete etc the bookmarks induvidually again when you want to close browser. You cant select multiple tabs at once and add them to new folder in bookmarks either, doing induvidually is nightmare. And also clutters the bookmarks.

Edit:Your suggestion for using youtube playlist is not solid either. i think your suggestions are more reliability oriented rather than ease of use oriented. When things get complicated the ease of use plays a big role. By your logic there is no need for workspaces in opera because we can do that with bookmarks.

@ledsalesoz ya, vivaldi is sold option. customization is better than opera. Tab groups is better implemented with choice of different layouts. Separate search engine for private browsing is nice. Quick commands menu is cool as well but have to see how useful it is in day to day tasks. "Windows" tab in side panel is useful. Mail client is great feature if you use mail client in the first place but its not for me. Tab tiling is very useful.

What I still miss from Opera is the design. Especially new design is very minimal and clean while being functional. adblock and tracker lacks settings to tweak them in vivaldi. Workspaces on sidebar is way easier to use than to have drop down menu. Opera tab groups collapses to small button which is cool as well.

For now I will also switch over to vivaldi.

Edit: Cant seem to rearrange extension icons which is kind of lame. Side panel is very limited in functionality as well.

@ledsalesoz I did not know vivaldi has workspaces, but I do remember liking their side by side tab layout system which was unique and useful. I will try it as well then. Thanks for the remainder
Edit: Found out that vivaldi has support for portable installation along with option to being able to use it as default browser.

@ledsalesoz I used to use multiple browsers before workspaces was a thing but since opera introduced workspaces I have stick to just opera as main browser and edge as side browser. New edge is very good. I started using it because of bing AI but it is not that bad.
The browser setting sync is better on Edge. But edge tracks a lot of stuff by default.

I dont want to list and compare features here but go through all the settings in Edge and you will find lot of new things, bad and good.

Features I will miss from opera will be the Speed Dail and inbuilt VPN. Speed Dail is very easy to manage since it integrates with bookmarks. And I can access different speed dails from mobile as well.

@sleps what ever you do , dont try to connect My flow. I also started fresh and felt everything's fine until something broke and I think it is My Flow( not 100% sure) but now I am loosing tabs again. Browser resets randomly.

yep, this is a big issue. Flow is not working and on top of that it is breaking something and might be causing crashes and stuff, just a guess. But ya, recently losing tabs a lot. So much so that I changed to portable version and then used "restic" backup program to create snapshots daily so that I can go back to one of the previous state. But with portable version you cant have it as default browser which is bummer.

Tried the manual sessions restore by renaming but it did not work.

Partial solution is to use synced tabs(opera://activity/) ( which ironically only sync active tabs/workspaces instead of all tabs). I was able to restore atleast half of the tabs in my workspace but the whole thing just sucks. I wish I used something like tab hamster because it is more reliable than anything Opera has for tab backup.

I heard that Edge has also introduced workspaces in insider preview so once stable version gets workspaces I might switch over. They already have tab groups and their implementation is better as well. closed tab groups stay closed instead of opening up every time I reopen opera.

same problem, still not fixed. My Flow is broken

I am in Thailand and I have downloaded opera here and the thing that bugs me to the core is that every time I search in new tab it uses google.co.th and all the results have thai language or thai specific results, I want opera to use global google site and the worse thing is that I can't change the default search engine to a custom on either.

If there is a solution to it I was unable to find it and if some have any solution to this please help me. I don't want to download opera again because the setup I have will take atleast one whole day to set it up from fresh.
