Asked in Suggestions, but asking here also. Those of you who remember Opera 10 will know what this did. Somehow it disconnects Opera from the web until you toggle it back to Work Online.

I don't know the mechanics of how it worked, but I used it all the time. When selected with a number of tabs open, those tabs are prevented from loading or auto-reloading. This is helpful when opening Opera by eliminating the bandwidth and PC resource load of multiple tabs all loading at once.

@y0y0 I don't think you can add a work offline feature using an extension but you can always try.

I have no idea how to create extensions, so I was asking if there is a place to request someone who does know to look into it.

Also,l I'm not a new user. I've been a member here for 10 years or so and should not be subject to a post limit timer..

@diypartsjoy said in menu bar & work offline !!!:

You can right-click on the webpage and select Save as. A dialog will appear and you can save your webpage for offline viewing.

Not what I'm looking for as explained above.

As of the menu bar, that has been eliminated years ago and is not necessary in modern times.

Disagree. I use it frequently.

Title about says it all for those who remember using Opera 10.

Is there a separate place to ask for an Extension?

@y0y0 By the way, I found that there IS a Menu Bar available as an Extension that seems to work fine so far.

I don't find a Work Offline Extension though, so maybe someone can create one.

@leocg

Not acceptable.

If you'll recall the old O-10, there was a menu selection to 'work offline'. I use that extensively even now when using that old version which still seems superior to this one in many ways.

When closing that version, I select 'work offline' first. Then when opening the browser after a PC start, it opens all of the previous tabs, but doesn't populate any of them until I want it to after going back 'online'. That saves it from hogging resources by trying to load 20 or 30 tabs at once..

This version has a few small advantages, but runs far behind O-10 overall.

Suggesting that one disable their network connection manually is not helpful.

Adding to this rather than start new since these are the same two features I'm seeking. Got used to them in O-10 and this new version seems quite crippled.

@y0y0 Don't know. 2 and 3.

OK, so for the mail client, WHICH extension? All I see are some that provide notifications from remote email services, nothing that replicates the M2 built-in Client.

@leocg said in Three other questions, Mail, Image Block and Element Hider:

@y0y0 Nope, you need to use an extension.

Which extension and for which of the three issues?

No idea how long, but the ID was still here, just couldn't log in with the old PW. Made sure I used the correct one as stored in PW Manager. Had to do a reset once I figured out which email address I used to set the account up initially so many years ago.
