@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.

@zalex108 (Is that to me, TLMurray?) If it is, if I clicked a Swedish ad and then used Google Maps -- I didn't try the Mac app -- it was a map of Sweden. Leaving Opera and using Google's Maps was correct.

@zalex108 I'm not using VPN. Cookies cleaned.

@leocg I have the same issue to a point: Outlook for the Web has ads on the right, and it's the only site that's wrong -- my main email is English, but the ads were showing Swedish. I did go into my Microsoft profile and change my language from default to English, but I've not had to do that before and I've been doing this for longer than I care to remember. Also, Safari and Firefox were okay. No VPN. IP okay.

Opera 63.0.3368.107 for Mac has an issue with putting the wrong date on history items. For example, as I type this it is 20:46 Eastern on Tuesday, but a sites I went to from around midnight to 19:47 show yesterday (Monday).

I have just now updated to 64.x but have not restarted Opera, so I probably won't know any new news until Wednesday evening. Also, Opera has done this for many versions now -- I just didn't bother to report it.

I freelanced for a while at a company in 2016 and 2017, synced my Mac's Opera to my iPhone, and used Opera (mostly) ever since. My Mac was stolen in July 2019, and I'm using an old Win7 PC to get by. I set up Opera on Win7 and used it for a few weeks (call me User1) with fresh speed dial, bookmarks, etc. Yesterday I enabled another Win user ID (User2) and turned on sync . . . and what showed up in User2 was the old info from my freelance days. The info in User1 remains okay.

Is there a way to force settings of User1 to be the King of All Settings? If not, there should be.

================

NEVER MIND, FOUND IT: Speed Dials, for example, are under Bookmarks > Other Speed Dials > ComputerName. Nonetheless, I think we should have a way to damn the torpedoes and sync "for real" where new machine truly takes on the characteristics of the old.

Some passwords did not sync, however, yet some did.

What would be a good idea is to present some choices, like "a overwrites b", "b overwrites a", and of course, "merge". When I installed a second machine, the lack of choice made me nervous that the new install with default speed dial might overwrite my data.

I have Opera's latest (as of today) on an old Win 7 machine -- my MacBook Pro was stolen -- and the Marmoset pages are fine for me. That said, I used to get audio-only videos from CNET, but now they work. Netflix, Hulu, and and the others work fine (other than the buffering on this ancient Toshiba). Maybe a fresh install is in order. My PC was loaned to me and I formatted it from scratch.

Thanks.

Seems like this should be an obvious preference somewhere, but I'm not seeing it: When I right-click a link and choose "open in new tab" I would like Opera to show me that tab without having to select it. Am I missing a preference? I'm on v46, if it matters.

I think Opera's help and related information should indicate this "other bookmarks" area, or, even better, when the user sets up sync, the user is offered a choice of (a) this new machine will match the other exactly, in bookmarks, speed dials, or whatever you choose; or (b) we'll take the other machine's information and place in a separate area. Something along these lines.

After I set up sync on a new environment, I leaned back and waited for my speed dials to magically change from the default to the speed dials set up on another computer and when it didn't happen, I figured something was broken.

Now, to move SDs from the "other" area in the main. . . .

I have three Office 356 accounts:

• One business A
• One business B
• On personal

With Opera I type the starting URL of portal.microsoftonline.com and on the right I see my three log-ins plus one to use another account. The problem is whether I click the one I want (let's say A) or simply do nothing for about 2 seconds, the browser pops me over to the log-in for B, where business B's information is presented. There seems no way get to B or personal, at least with Opera.

Using Opera 34.0.2036.50. Safari and OmniWeb are fine. Any ideas?
