( speedial) I was able to get rid of it, that is the extension. But I've been seeing you obstruct flow and continuity for several years now, and the net result, to me, is poor usability.Hello! So while installing some freeware I slipped up and ended up downloading an extension for Google Chrome. You obviously won't agree, so I accept that. But god forbid we soil your perfect little container boxes. ![]() When one has to parse every thought and give it its own thread, what is the likelihood, do you imagine, of such experts going and Looking For these obscure one-off questions?Īs a User Experience designer with several decades' experience, I know the answer to that question. I asked an in-line question which I have no way of knowing but I have to believe he would have happily answered my question. ![]() Quicksite last edited by How? Do you know how hard it is to find a real expert on these forums? The individual I was engaging with has rare-to-me insights on architectural aspects of Opera the browser. These are not easy questions to pose but I figured I'd at least ask! Thanks And part of my question is "when I bring in all those extensions to Opera", is my effective user experience going to pretty much equal that of Chrome, or are there enough architectural differences in Opera that potentially yield smoother sailing? But on Opera no such issues - but I have not yet brought in the 15-20 extensions that I've used in Chrome for years which in so many ways have made my computing life easier. OK what I am really asking is your opinion, would you rec using Opera as my primary browser, all things considered? What prompted this effort to switch is Chrome problems I have not been able to successfully troubleshoot, including constant lapses in connectivity in Google Docs - perhaps due to a misbehaving extension (I use a lot of them). Again, something I've posted about here on these forums but no help troubleshooting. I also have had big problems exporting Chrome bookmarks etc to then import to Opera, which is the only thing that would enable me to switch. and I'd use Opera when certain websites (including my healthcare provider's) simply wouldn't work in Chrome. I'm asking because essentially, in the past I only used Opera as my secondary browser, and Chrome was my workhorse. What I don't know is whether Opera's iterations of Chromium are equivalent resource hogs as Chrome is, where every tab is a full iteration of the app (or something close) and sucks up RAM. And that Opera created their own extension "Install Chrome Extensions", which brought Chrome's rich ext library to Opera. I understand that Chrome is Google's proprietary version of Chromium open source, and that Opera and Brave are other forks of Chromium. Lastly, am interested in a user-friendly architectural question for you. Whether strategic or not, whether intentional or not, these kinds of thwarting of users' reasonable desires to use their preferred workflows and organizing schemes hurts Opera's larger mainstreaming ambitions. But at same time, not sure if this mod was playing to perhaps Opera's intention to defeat use of alt speed-dials - or if he wasn't aware that there actually Was a way to get alt-speed dials to work. And the moderator moved that thread into a "Feature Requests" forum - which I sorta get. A few days ago I also posted to these forums, before discovering this "New Tab Start Page" workaround, asking if anyone knew how to get Speeddial 2 to work with Opera. I'd read a different thread about this workaround a few days ago, and it just wasn't as crystal clear as yours was, so I really appreciate your clarity.ĭo you happen to know if Opera devs very specifically do not want people to be able to use alt speed dials (for perhaps some branding reason?), and that is why they don't provide a similar browser setting as Chrome does that more directly allows you to use any number of "new tab" extensions? json files and manifests, but it certainly makes sense that within the extension itself would be a pointer to that critical piece of code to make the "New Tab Start Page" extension redirect to one's preferred "new tab page". I'm not a programmer so I'm not well-versed in. ![]()
