@terrorfox-tech Thanks so much, awesome! What a total mess from the Opera programmers though. What is the point with this sidebar-QR code working for a couple of minutes and then not any more? Why do you need to go to a different page to sync? Wonder what the heck they were thinking when designing this nonsense.

Same here.
Used it for several years. One of the recent updates broke it. Can't reconnect and have tried all suggestions I could find online.
The phone is stuck on "follow the instructions on the other device" after scanning the QR code on "opera.com/connect" and the circle from hell spins forever on the phone, while nothing changes on the web page with the QR code. After a minute or two the phone says "failed to connect - connection declined on your other device".
It has been a pain to get these connections going also earlier, but now it simply does not work any more.
Newest version both on Mac and Android. Pretty annoying that they have to break things which were working perfectly fine.
