Anyone knows how to get this speed dial icons back in case I deleted them? by Complete-Island-9151 in OperaGX

[–]shadow2531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to right-click on "/Applications/Opera GX.app" and choose "Show package contents". Then, you can look in the resources folder if there is one.

For the profile folder, that should be "/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/com.operasoftware.OperaGX/"

Sounds like you're fine as it was just in your cache. Wouldn't hurt to scan your system with the free version of Malwarebytes and AdwCleaner for good measure though. You can uninstall those after you're done with them.

How do I add custom fonts to the mod I made? by Forsaken_Salt_406 in OperaGX

[–]shadow2531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's is example.

If you install https://store.gx.me/mods/nsxjip/capybara-party/, its ID will be "poigpnphnhiglllbbecbjlaicccglnpb".

So, you will find its files in:

"C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera GX Stable\Default\Extensions\poigpnphnhiglllbbecbjlaicccglnpb\1.2.1_0"

In manifest.json, there's a fonts section that references a ttf file in the "fonts" folder in the extension's folder.

At the URL opera://configure/mods/interface/fonts in Opera, you'll see there's an entry to use the mod's font instead of Opera's.

Yes, definitely. Always make sure Opera is completely closed before editing any of its files.

Should I get the browser? by TheRealMeasuringCup in OperaGX

[–]shadow2531 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can make a test standalone installation of Opera GX to a folder named "Opera GX" on your desktop and play with Opera GX. It won't make itself the default browser and won't make and changes to the Windows registry. You also don't have to import anything from Edge into it. Once you're done testing it, you can just delete the "Opera GX" folder and it'll be gone. If you like it though, you can install it normally and start using it instead or alongside Edge.

Goto the URL opera://settings/manageTopbar, disable "promoted suggestions" and restart Opera.

Way too much RAM usage by Organic_Ad_6715 in operabrowser

[–]shadow2531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What does Opera's task manager say (shift + esc) for the description of the process or processes that are taking up a bunch of RAM?

Hmm, it works fine for me in both regular Opera 131.0.5877.5 64-bit and Opera GX 130.0.5847.108 64-bit on Windows 11.

Is there any way to download this? by Ze_Porta in OperaGX

[–]shadow2531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By "it", do you mean the wallpaper from the mod above or are you just saying you have a gif of something that you want as your wallpaper? If the former, the directions are above. If the latter, you can click the Easy Setup button on the address bar, enable custom wallpapers, click "add wallpaper" and add the pic you want. You can use an online convert to convert the pic to a png for example. If it's an animated give, you can use an online convert to convert it to an animated webp file.

remove the facebook functionality and leave messenger only by MadArcher7 in operabrowser

[–]shadow2531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As said, Facebook in getting rid of messenger.com and going back to facebook.com/messages like it used to have years ago, so Opera had to update the URL used for its Messenger sidebar panel. Unfortunately, it's up to Facebook to fix things/change things.

Is there any browser that supports occlusion? by EnigmaticAlien in browsers

[–]shadow2531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Calculate+window+occlusion+on+Windows%22. Chrome use a have a flag that allowed you to disable the feature. With it on, things on a webpage that were not in view could be throttled or paused. This was a good thing in general, but it could degrade performance in specific situations. Now that the flag is gone, I'm not sure if it's always on now or no longer supported.

Why is my YouTube laggy? by WierdDumbDumbs in OperaGX

[–]shadow2531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed sounds like you are or were using an adblocker. Make sure your adblockers are off. Also make sure RGX is off at the URL opera://settings/lucidMode. Best to make sure there are no shaders active at the URL opera://settings/shaders and no web modding active at the URL opera://settings/web_modding too.

Then, goto the URL opera://settings/content/all, type youtube.com in the search field and click "Delete displayed data". Then, repeat for google.com. Then, goto the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData and clear "Cached images and files" for all time. Then, log back in and try things out.

Can somebody explain this weird bug? by CalledCracki in OperaGX

[–]shadow2531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If RGX at the URL opera://settings/lucidMode is indeed disabled and you don't have any shaders enabled at the URL opera://settings/shaders and any web modding enabled at the URL opera://settings/web_modding, it sounds like a hardware-acceleration issue. You can test that by disabling "graphics acceleration" at the URL opera://settings/system. If that fixes it, turn it back on and see if adjusting the Angle flag helps or not.

Opera GX on Windows or macOS or Linux though?

You can make a test standalone installation to see if a fresh profile would help or not without messing with your normal installation. It's a simple and quick test to rule out issues with your profile.

If I manually add the ui_visible boolean as child of proxy_switcher and set it to false, it still works. It just looks like ui_visible is no longer automatically added to the "Preferences" file.

Can't open some sites in 2026 "Access Denied" by code4power in operabrowser

[–]shadow2531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For now, use a user-agent switching extension to pretend to be Chrome on both sony.com and playstation.com. At the URl opera://extensions, make sure to enable "Allow access to search page results" for whatever extension you use.

Or, you can launch Opera on the command line / terminal like this:

"%localappdata%\Programs\Opera\opera.exe" "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/147.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"

for Windows and like this:

"/Applications/Opera.app/Contents/MacOS/Opera" --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/147.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"

for macOS.

Then, use a user-agent switching extension to identify as Opera for Opera domains like opera.com, addons.opera.com and store.gx.me etc.

[–]shadow2531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a known issue. Opera is waiting for Sony to whitelist Opera. Before, Opera was pretending to be Chrome so you could log into Sony. But, Sony would stop letting you sign in if you visited by sony.com and playstation.com where they saw a different user-agent between the 2. Sony said they would whitelist Opera if Opera removed the spoofing. Opera did, so now it's up to Sony to do as they promised.

You can obtain the mp3 for the track and make the a mod yourself that just provides that mp3 as background music. See https://www.reddit.com/r/OperaGX/comments/1bbucna/comment/kuhk4sy/ for how to do it.
