Do more on the web, with a fast and secure browser!
Download Opera browser with:
I have just had to do a complete, clean re-install of MacOS 10.15.7 on my iMac. Opera is my go-to browser, but having installed it, I cannot find a way to install the 1Password extension. In the past I could install it from the Chrome store, but that no longer seems to be giving the option to install in Opera, only Firefox, Safari and Brave.
Advice please?
@pandanose said in Search bar appears on desktop:
@xiamenese i am using MacOS Mojave V10.14
Opera is minimized, however the behavior isnt wanted regardless of Opera being open or not. It is really distracting. I hope someone can resolve.
I appreciate that. However, I've tried turning on any preference I think might cause it but nothing I've tried makes it appear on my screen (2015 13" retina MacBook Pro, MacOS 10.14.6). I've not seen it on my 2011 17" MBP running 10.13.6, or on a 2015 5K iMac running Catalina, but I haven't gone through the preferences on those.
I wish I could help more, but can just hope someone else who's encountered it can come along.

@pandanose No, I've never seen it, but if anyone's going to be able to replicate it, it would help to know which version of MacOS you're using—Catalina? which I don't have—and whether you have Opera minimised to the dock, or perhaps running in the background with no window open. More information, more chance of help.

@jasonkelly said in Favicons not refreshing in tabs when I change sites:
For example, when I change from Google Search to the New York Times, I still see the Google icon. In a different tab, when I leave the Paris Review for Barron's, I still see the Paris Review favicon.
I restarted Opera, then my entire computer. Both seemed to do the trick for a while, but then the problem reappeared.
I'm running:
Opera Version: 65.0.3467.42
macOS Mojave 10.14.5Does anybody know how to fix this?
Same version of Opera, Mojave 10.14.6, no problem here.

I, on the other hand, with my 74-year-old eyes, have no trouble with the layout, and actually like it.
Everyone's MMV!
@jadanp said in Opera window doesn't fully go full screen.:
When I went on full screen, it didn't fully go full screen. Can someone help me on this?
It would be useful to know which version of MacOS you are using, which version of Opera, and how are you are invoking Full Screen … also, what you mean exactly by "Full Screen".
I'm on MacOS 10.14.6, Opera Stable version 63.0.3368.75, and have no trouble going Full Screen with tabs and sidebar using the green "traffic light" or Ctrl-Cmd-F, and Full Screen without tabs or sidebar using Shift-Cmd-F. To have the old-fashioned Full-Screen with menu-bar, Opt-Green-Traffic-Light works as expected.
Mark
Alternately, Shift-Cmd-F in full screen toggles between having the tool-bar and tabs visible or not. I enter full-screen with Ctrl-Cmd-F and they always work for me.
I believe they are system (MacOS 10.14.5) shortcuts.

Hi @giman,
More or less the same; my MBP is a year younger than yours.
My problem with embedded WhatsApp is having to re-link it every time Opera updates. As a result I hardly ever use it.
I go into Full Screen using Ctrl-Cmd-F, the standard Apple shortcut for entering Full Screen, the sidebar is certainly there as are the traffic-light buttons for close, minimise and maximise (to Full Screen).
But there is another shortcut, Shift-Cmd-F, which hides the tabs and the sidebar.
The "maximise" green button switched to Apple's full-screen with no menu-bar several versions of the operating system ago ... somewhere around 10.11; prior to that version, the maximise button expanded the window, to the whole screen but with the menu-bar in place. To replicate that with any of the recent iterations of the OS, you have to hold down the Alt key as you click the button.
I have no idea why Apple made that change.
@concretable
Personally, I don't. I was merely pointing out to the OP that he could do what s/he wanted with a single click. Also, another Alt-click on the old-style "full screen" green button returns the window to it's original small size.

For me, the whole address bar is highlighted; none of the individual icons—whether within the address space itself or outside on either end—have a separate highlight.

@operaoperandi You're right. But just as I keep my dock—and my desktop—as minimal as I can, I never use Icon View for Finder windows, always Column View.
However, having changed to Icon View to check, then back to Column View and back to Icon View once more, Opera now shows the Show Package Contents on right click! I'll see if it survives a shut down and re-boot, but my guess is not; not going to do it now, though.
@dbraunschweig
I'm with @operaoperandi here. For many years now my dock has been empty except for Finder, Trash and any apps that are actually running, and I always open apps using spotlight. And Opera no longer re-opens with a window.
@operaoperandi, unless I'm not following what you say correctly, In my applications folder, if I right click on Opera.app and choose "Get Info", it tells me it is an app, not a folder. It also behaves like other apps when right-clicked, offering "Show Package Contents", which doesn't happen with a folder. Do you have extensions switched off by any chance?
