Goto URL opera://settings/startPage. You'll see a suggestions option that you can disable (among other things).

Goto the URL opera://flags/#search-in-open-tabs, disable the flag, and restart Opera.

Test this solution. Remove the Opera Safe Store password from Keychain Access login item.

Steps:

Open Keychain Access application

Choose 'login' keychain on left

Choose 'Password' group

Find 'Opera Safe Storage' entry, right click it and choose Delete.

You can goto https://addons.opera.com/en/wallpapers/?tag=animated and install one of the animated wallpapers. Then, in Opera, goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "profile" path. Then, close Opera and look in the "themes" folder in the profile folder.

You'll see the folder for the wallpaper you installed. In it, you can see how to create your own. You then just zip up your persona.ini file with the webm file and thumbnail and you 'll have your custom wallpaper.

Things you can try:

Goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "profile" path. Then, close Opera and delete the WidevineCDM folder in the profile folder.

Then, start Opera, goto the URL opera://components, click "update" for Widevine, let it update, and restart Opera.

Then, start Opera and goto https://html5test.com/ and make sure it shows "yes" for h.264 support and "yes" for aac support.

Once that's good, goto https://bitmovin.com/demos/drm, make sure it says "Using Widevine" above the video and "Widevine" for EME below the video, and "video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42c00d" for MSE below the video. And, make sure the video plays and you can hear its audio.

Then, goto the URL opera://settings/siteData, type spotify.com in the search-cookies field and choose "remove all shown".

Then, goto https://open.spotify.com/ in a new tab, log in, and try to play some music.

If you still have problems, goto the URL opera://flags/#reduce-user-agent, enable the flag, restart Opera, and try again.

If you still have problems, goto the URL opera://settings/system, disable hardware acceleration, restart Opera, and try again.

If you still have problems, goto the URL opera://extensions, disable all your extensions, and restart Opera.

If you still ahve problems, make sure you're not using Opera's VPN, and try turning off Opera's Adblocking and tracking protection.

If you still have problems, try all of the above with a standalone installation.

You can also goto the URL opera://settings/content/protectedContent, and make sure "Sites can play protected content" and "Sites can use identifiers to play protected content" are set with no sites in the custom behaviors list.

In the Opera program files directory, right-click on launcher.exe to create a new shortcut and place it on your desktop. Then, on the desktop, rename it what you want. Then, right-click on the shortcut, goto properties and then the "shortcut" tab. On that tab, modify the target to add the --user-data-dir command-line switch.

For example:

"C:\Program Files (X86)\Opera\launcher.exe" "--user-data-dir=C:\Users\yourusername\Opera2"

(I personally have a "My Program Files" folder in "C:\Users\myusername", so I'd use "C:\Users\myusername\My Program Files\Opera2" for example.)

You can create as many shortcuts as you want with each using a different profile folder.

See http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/#user-data-dir for more info.

Log into https://gemini.google.com/app in a tab.

Then, enable the "Custom user sites for browser sidebar" flag at the URL opera://flags/#sidebar-site-panel, restart Opera, click the 3 dots at the bottom of the sidebar, scroll down to Custom Site Panels and add https://gemini.google.com/app.

As an alternative for now, note that you can enable the "Custom user sites for browser sidebar" flag at the URL opera://flags/#sidebar-site-panel, restart Opera, click the 3 dots at the bottom of the sidebar, scroll down to "Custom Site Panels" and add the URL for the web app you want (https://bsky.app/ for example).

You can't customize the icon for it in the sidebar and you can change its position, but it's something for now.

If you have any trouble logging in to the site in the sidebar, you can log in via a regular tab first and then reload the sidebar.

Goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "profile" path. Close down Opera and delete the WidevineCDM folder in the profile folder. Then, start Opera, goto opera://components and try updating Widevine again.

You might want to make sure opera://flags/#new-component-update-mechanism is disabled too. It should be by default, but check that URL just in case.

Are you talking about the start page button that's missing on the left side of the address bar in Opera One builds?

@wokes said in Scroll active tab issue:

when I click it again, it stays at the top and doesn’t go back down.

That's an intentional change. Due to changes in Chromium, that part was hard to fix and maintain.

Goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera and delete the "Login Data" file in the profile folder so that Opera creates a fresh one.

Do you have vertical tabs enabled in Early Bird and have the sidebar set to auto hide?

You need to enable both developer mode at the top of the opera://extensions page and you need to click the "Details" button for the extension at the URL opera://extensions and enable "Allow user scripts" for the extension.

Also for the extension, you should enable "Allow access to search page results" so the extension works on search page result pages and on pages you got to by clicking on lines on search result pages.

I tested with https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/tampermonkey-beta/ in Opera 132.0.5905.37 64-bit on Windows 11 with a user script for example.com that does alert('test'); and it's working fine.

Site loads no problem in regular Opera (Opera One) 132.0.5905.37 64-bit on Windows 11 in the U.S. for me, for what it's worth.

@amit6630 said in Unable to Add a Custom Site in Custom Site Panels:

Is there a way to enable adding more than five custom sites?

There used to be a way to add more by manually adding entries to the Preferences file, but that hasn't worked for years.

Opera is aware that users want the feature to be a first-class feature and not just an experiment and they are also aware of users wanting the limit raised or removed. I even have a feature request filed as DNA-120562 to increase the limit, but no one has responded in a year and a half.

So, unless something changes, we're still stuck with the limit of 5.

Working fine for me for what it's worth. You're only allowed to add 5 custom sites. How many do you currently have?

Confirmed.

@andrew84 Never paid attention in Opera One, but in Opera GX, there’s often a vertical line to show the preview for the dark mode wallpaper and the light mode wallpaper at the same time. Mods can provide a different one for each mode. I forget if the line shows in GX when the mod provides the same for both modes. Can’t check at the moment, but that might explain why they’re there. Of course, if the wallpaper is the same for both modes, the line should be omitted IMO.

There's an issue where it might not work right if you have the level set to 100%. Setting it to 75% might work around that. Settings are at the URL opera://settings/lucidMode.
