@burnout426 It is! Both the manual and the detected settings work.

@tlmurray said in Mac users, what made you switch to Opera?:

I just wish my home page was working....

Hmm. After a couple of days of a white home page (other than a fluttering weather graphic), it's now working (except for weather).

@javedworkspace @javedworkspace I really like the visuals of the speed dials. Seeing where I'm going provides more info than just words, especially since some things I bookmark are similar.

I just wish my home page was working....

@greatland1959 Yesterday I totally reformatted a Mac M4, loaded Sequoia, installed Opera, and started the sync, and NOTHING on the home page works -- and that includes weather. I am in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.

However, I can browse around just fine. It's just the home page.

And finally, my other computer -- also an M4 with Sequoia -- is sitting inches away from this one, and Opera's home page is just fine.

@OperaUser42 First, and quick: Opera works fine with Hotmail. I use it nearly every day. Also Captcha (which I despise: Are a few pixels of a review mirror still part of the car?). And if I were to bet, I would bet that LastPass would work also.

Win7 was announced 15 years ago. Do you work for an organization that thinks that Windows 7 is highly secure??? I dunno. I would suspect that if you are told -- or if you think -- you need only Win7 or Linux, something is missing from the story.

You might find some Netscape around (a great browser, by the way). Sorry. I'm not feeling particularly sympathetic.

I had a gap of time between using Opera for macOS. In mid 2023, the thumbs were big, as in this screen (this came from web search):

Now I get these in Opera One(version: 113.0.5230.86) (arm64):

How do I get the old size back?

My girlfriend's astigmatism makes it hard for her to see the little

less-than symbol, so maybe some color or a bit darker. Maybe even a preference? Thanks.

@leocg Spoke too soon. Opera is signing me into Google using the company ID.

@leocg Usually, yes. But I fixed it by deleting my profile folder and starting over.

Yet I still wonder how my automatic login was possible when the site is not in the password list.

For example, I have a gmail account of my own and one used by my employer. On the Mac itself (Monterey 12.4) I have two user IDs, one for my personal stuff and one for my employer.

When I go to YouTube on the personal side, I am automatically signed in using my employer's ID. I looked into Opera's internal password list, and YouTube is not there.

Ideas?

I think you mean, "How do I transfer automatic fills from one Mac to another?"

I use Opera's sync service -- at least, that is what I assume is the reason that when I format my Mac, fills are still working.

@hisnibs Still incorrect, with 74.0.3911.139. The times are correct. As I took this screenshot, it is Wednesday the 17th.

@NickyT I am using Mac 71.0.3770.284, and I'm getting it (I came to this forum because there is no recent activity on the Mac forum).

I have only two extensions: Amazon Assistant (disabled) and Ad Blocker -- which, I note, says is zero size -- and when I disable it, the message is gone.

@leocg I will have to come back later. I saw an old reminder to ask about this, but in that reminder, I didn't record the site. Next time it happens, I'll come back. Thanks.

When I go into a website, Opera dutifully fills in my ID and password. Plus, and not that it matters, I have a FileMaker database of IDs and passwords. For some sites, my password is filled in and works, but yet it is not in my FileMaker database, it's not in Opera's password list, and it's not in macOS Keychain. I hit one such site today and Opera's filled-in fields worked, but I wanted to look up what the password really is, and it's not to be found. Any idea where it came from?

@leocg I always thought Opera had some Chome as its engine; guess I was wrong. I also use Safari and Firefox, and they are okay. But in any case, Opera seems to be okay now.

@leocg Yes, it's in the list. If I disable the more general block option, it is okay. But it might be fixed: Once I toggled these, it appears to be okay.

Using 66.0.3515.27 on macOS 10.15.2. At a site where I have told Opera it is okay to see their pop-ups, they are still blocked. Ideas?

I’ve had some wrong country issues as have others, and it turns out that (at least) in my case, it was not my browser or VPN.

I had a friend give me a old RCA Android notebook, which I reset back to its manufactured state. When I used its native, pre-installed Chrome, the problem came back with a Google search, except that before (Windows) I was supposedly in Sweden, but this time I was placed somewhere that used some type of Eastern European language. I didn’t do any detective work and just folded it up and put it on the shelf.

@zalex108 No VPN icon; no other extension.
