Is there anyway to disable whitelist adblocking for a specific page? I'm pretty sure fanboy's list is preventing me from opening my favorite last.fm radios

http://www.last.fm/listen/artist/Telefon%2BTel%2BAviv/similarartists

It used to block hulu ads for me. Hulu would hilariously give me a "lol nice try blocking ads" message and make me sit for 30 seconds.

I have an odd problem with Opera 10.51 on Windows 7 that I've never had before. Controls for video and music players are transparent, which makes them really hard to read unless I have a plain black window behind them. I am using the glass skin that makes everything use aero glass, so I figure that has something to do with it, but haven't heard anyone else complain about it. Anyone else seeing this and know of a fix? It's not unbearable, but can be annoying when the title of a song is part of the controls (such as Facebook's song player).

I get the same thing with the text on youtube controls

Two questions:

1) Where are my Opera bookmarks stored?

2) I have two Opera bookmark folders: one from the alpha/beta, and one from the final, stable version. How do I merge the two to keep both bookmarks?

I'm sad to say that I'm probably finally leaving Opera, because it keeps loving up my saved bookmarks, which is the most important browser feature for me. I just did a reinstall after a failed drive, and while I still retain access to my old bookmarks, I shudder at the thought of what would have happened if I didn't have a physical back-up of my bookmarks.

I used to love Opera, but their forums have never been of any help, and I don't feel the bookmark sync love. :smith:

shouldn't importing/merging bookmarks through the "manage bookmarks" panel be pretty straightforward? I've done it a thousand times before opera sync.

hell, opera sync manages to catch everything I throw at it even from opera mini on my android phone and two other machines that are currently synced. I have a lot of bookmarks too but I'm guessing yours is pretty crazy?

They want to compete with the bullshit IE 9 Q&A session so hopefully we'll get some real feedback instead of sugar coated marketing.

Using the windows panel instead of the tab bar handles that use case quite well, on the UI end. It's not too uncommon for me to have ~50 open and I haven't had Mithaldu's problem, but 50 is still a lot less than 94.

I usually have 50 or so open between about 3 windows, and opera sometimes takes almost a full minute to pop up the "continue from last time" dialog.

Have you tried seeing how long other browsers take? This is an interesting benchmark.

yeah. chrome and firefox are very snappy on startup, I'm jealous. I don't really have any performance problems with opera ONCE its loaded, but good lord.

this is on a couple different systems (my laptop as well). will just sit there with no process % going on, and then after a while it finally loads.

About the same as Mithaldu, but with a bit more "pretty".

that seems "less" minimalist than a stock windows install with the "windows bar" (mac bar?) up there.

this mouse gesture wheel has *got* to go.

fake edit: opera:config - gestures - show gesture UI

somethings still bugging me about tab stacking though, not sure what it is. its very weird scrolling through tabs that I can't actually see.

edit: what the hell did they do to gestures? I turned the setting all the way down and I'm having trouble hitting almost all of them now, especially D-R close tab

I'm using 1.15 GB ram overall, with 500 in physical memory, on a 4GB machine. My tab bar looks like this:

It may not use memory PERFECTLY well when you don't have a lot going on, but it scales ridiculously well when you go up. Plus: I can get it down to 32MB physical used just by minimizing the window.

Complaining about Opera's memory use is very misguided.

well gently caress me. I wasn't necessarily complaining since I have plenty of memory and it doesn't seem to affect my system. More just curious if that was normal. I actually tried 6 tabs in chrome, that got me up to about 300mb.

I remember I used to get upset about aim using 12mb of memory!

ok I give up. how do I install an extension?

https://addons.opera.com/addons/extensions/ is completely nonfunctional for me.

and the download link on
https://lastpass.com/misc_download.php

does nothing but give a couple seconds worth of an hourglass.

edit:system restart and it seems to be working. sheesh. still confused why the opera extensions site wouldn't even load.

The new gestures are really screwing with me. Have people worked out the idea sensitivity, should I set it high or low?

its still better than gestures in chrome :/


Which version of opera should I uninstall? my browser defaults have been hijacked by the old "opera 11 alpha" program, but in the add/remove programs menu both are simply labeled "opera 11". opera:about in both browsers lists opera 11 build 1156.

I don't really know what to say besides "whichever one you're not using"? Look at whatever shortcut and see. If the point is that there's multiple in add/remove programs and you can't tell which corresponds to which, I'd just kill it manually.

well that was my point. under program files I have "opera 11" and "opera 11 alpha". Under add/remove programs I have "opera 11.00" and "opera 11.00". Just wanted to save the hassle of transferring over my sessions and everything. In the end I just picked one and got lucky.

why does ctrl+scrollwheel page resizing cause significant lag? I understand opera has to resize page elements in real time, but is resizing the page text by 20% on gizmodo *really* that much of a problem for my 3.6ghz dual core machine?

It looks like they're really trying hard to improve page compatibility, and I'd love to start testing these builds, but I need my drat mouse panning. I don't care about anything on that list except for mouse panning. Why is it always the first thing to break. :(

weird it seems to be pretty hit or miss. gizmodo was the best example because their new layout is pretty insane with the graphics.

11.01 b1190 here, and I adblock using fanboy + adblock+. I have windows set to resize text/etc to 125% but a lot of webpages are still tiny for me.

If text size is really the only issue, you can set a minimum font size in Options under Fonts, this will break some site layouts but it's never bothered me too much. I've had mine set for a long time since some sites just love setting retardedly small font sizes for things.

for some reason this wont stick with some sites. e: nevermind

normally I'm all about super small font sizes, but I moved into a new place and currently have my monitor doing double duty as a tv, so i'm 3-4 feet away from a 22". Its not as bad as it sounds aside from lots of sites looking pretty comical with giant text.
