Okay, I gave a chance again to opera, the desktop browser as always is great, however the iOS one is plagued with issues and specifically the Flow.

The chat and file sending seems to work properly now, almost instantly.
However, the Sync tabs tab shows just 3 tabs out of 8 opened on my PC. Like it doesn't refresh more than once, or when I kill the app and re-launch it, but after some time... Maybe 10-15-30 minutes. I have no idea and I don't have the time to test in depth.

There is no manual sync button, sync settings cannot be changed. The tabs on the phone cannot be seen on the PC. Let's say you can send URL's through Flow. I accept that, but this requires 3 additional actions and it frustrating because you can send URL by URL, not all in Bulk.

@Stadtmusikant the Flow based sync doesn't work realiably... I'm not sure it is even flow based, because when I send message to Flow it almost immediately appears on my phone, while the tabs from the computer do not.
For example I am still looking on my phone at the tabs that have been opened on my PC 5 minutes ago, no new tabs are pushed, the closed ones are not removed.
So it's not working reliably at all.
On the PC/ Mac you also can't see your mobile tabs. However, let's say that this is not that big of a deal... But being able to see the PC/ Mac tabs on the phone is. And it has to be reliable.
For me Opera has the best UI at the moment and feels super smooth, but still can't make it default browser.
After the previous sync issues that they had, i can only try it from time to time and that's it. Sad story.

@erdinc53 I use Edge on both Android and iOS, the only difference is the lack of extensions on iOS, while there are few on the Android version.
Everything else 1:1
Same is valid for Vivaldi. Sync works.

@erdinc53 Vivaldi, Edge, Firefox, Chrome, they all have full syncing capabilities, it's not apple in this case.

Instead of a new browser, you could have made a comprehensive theme for Opera One.

Yeah, i also don't get why they push like three different browsers which all use different skins essentially have a bit of different features, instead of having one browser with three different modes which enable or disable certain features.
All of them have some usefull stuff on its own, but i won't use three different browsers at the same time.
I also don't understand why they don't focus on polishing stuff like the sync, which is unreliable and slow compared to the competitors, it's completely missing from the iOS app...

This is long-standing issue with Opera... I've encountered it few times on Mac...
Only workaround is to manually download the installer, fully exit opera (no background processes) and then run it. Once i reinstalls opera, you should be fine for some time.
One time even the installer was failing (even after restart), so I've just wiped opera and ran the installer again. It was painful.

@mushin i've figured it out... It's just the way Opera handles the tabs... If you close opera from the "Close"(X) button -> all tabs are closed.
If you quit opera through Alt+F4 or CMD+Q on Mac, all tabs are stored... I can't understand who thought of that behaviour, it's really weird but it's like that.

@leocg Thanks! I've just tested it and works great!

Yesterday or the day before I got suddenly logged out of my syncing account.
However, I have two user accounts on my Mac - One for Work and one Personal. In both I use Opera One with their respective separate sync accounts.
Today i've realised I was also logged-out of my work sync account, which means that the issue is not due to session expiration on my personal account most likely, but rather either the last update I made last week or something else. This is awful and happens from time to time. In my "Tabs" section I have like 40-50 times my computer and 3 times my phone. This is insane and very unreliable, e.g. you go to a store or somewhere, you need to open something from Flow or the synced tabs and suddenly you realise it's not working.

@leocg thanks for the nudge that it is known. I've been going back and forth between Opera and Firefox because of that when i get frustated. I didn't found anything specific regarding this, at least not something new (after 2019), so i've decided to post it.

For some reason my Macbook appears 21 times under my "tab syncing" and my android phone appears 2 times. I've already re-logged myself few months ago due to the same and I was also suffering a lot from delayed syncing of tabs, which was really frustrating.
Now sometimes I see my tabs almost immediately, sometimes I don't... And for some reason my computer appears as having 21 sessions. Maybe new session appears after each update?
It's weird and frustrating.

Hello,

For quite some time, me and my colleagues are a bit disappointed that Opera lacks option to "Open" file, instead of first downloading it.

This means that the file would be stored in the %Temp% folder and just executed/ opened. Once the browser is closed, the file is deleted.

Currently MS Edge and Vivaldi both have such option, which is very convenient.
We love the new Opera interface, but the lack of this feature is very disappointing.

I hope you find the time to add it.

Thanks!

Hey mate, for me (using Logitech G603) the back and forward keys work fine. However not in other browsers.
Generally MacOS does not understand the Mouse4 and Mouse5 keys. Thus your logitech software probably binds them to key combination such as cmd+[ . Otherwise the other browsers won't understand them. This is why I suffer with my G603. No other browser than Opera understands them, untill I map them. Which sucks because I need them for other stuff.

@thewinger Opera is one of the few browsers with proper touchbar support, but unfortunately still lacks the media controls integration. Please guys, add this.
