It shouldn't come up all the time. If it does, that's a bug.

You can try modifying Opera's desktop shortcut or pinned taskbar shortcut to pass the --no-default-browser-check command-line option to launcher.exe to see if it helps. If that helps, that'll at least prevent it when you open Opera yourself via the shortcut.

Besides that, you could regularly (you'd have to experiment without how long you can go) edit the "Preferences" file in Opera's profile directory (while Opera is closed) with JSONedit and make sure the root/browser/default_browser_infobar_last_declined timestamp is recent by updating it to the current value at https://www.epochconverter.com/webkit. That might keep Opera from bugging you. There's also a root/ui/launches_until_default_browser_check value you can try setting to a high number that you'd never reach to see if Opera honors it.

Another option is to just using a standalone installation of Opera. It can't set itself as the default browser and won't ask you. Launch the installer, click "options", set "install path" to a folder somewhere in your user space, set "install for" to "standalone installation", adjust the other options as you want, and install. Then, create a shortcut to that Opera's launcher.exe and or pin it. You can look at its profile/data folder to see the structure. You can then delete everything in the data folder and copy everything over from your regular Opera 's profile and cache folders to get all your settings. Then, you can uninstall your regular Opera.

@xaunloc Try the following:

Go to opera://about and take note of the path to Opera's profile directory Close Opera Open Windows Explorer and go to Opera's profile directory. Pasting the path in the address bar should lead you there Find a folder called Storage and delete its contents Do the same for a folder called Sync Data. Start Opera and try to login to Sync

@default-does-not-mean-anything Are you talking about the bar that shows up under the address bar that says "Would you like to make Opera your everyday browser?" that has a "Yes, set it as default browser" button and an "X" to the right of that?

If so, click the "X" and it won't show up again (unless Opera has issues saving the root/browser/default_browser_infobar_last_declined value in the "Preferences" file in the profile folder).

At the URL opera://settings/defaultBrowser, you'll see there's no option not to check for the default browser. There's no option anywhere else in the settings UI. You just have that bar and the X on it to say "don't bug me again".

Here is a screen capture of the issue:
Opera-Autofill.jpg

@emilysmom said in Why does Opera keep asking if it should save autofill addresses that are already saved?:

I just downloaded Opera and really like it. I work with forms and do not want the addresses saved. his is what I found out

Go to Settings.
Click Advanced in the left sidebar, and click Privacy & security.
Scroll down to where it says Autofill, then addresses. Turn the button off. Worked for me!

That is the perfect solution IF you don't want Opera to autofill forms.

However Opera actually has about the best autofill of the common browsers. The only problem that I have with Opera's autofill is its ridiculous habit of frequently asking if I want it to save an address when it has just autofilled a form using the address that was already saved. It doesn't do this every time, but it does it often enough to be annoying.
