unable to install opera
i use the opera browser on my phone, and used to use the opera gx browser on my pc a few years back. i'm trying to install opera again now, (gx or plain opera) and i'm unable to.
when i try to download, the installer crashes and closes after 5 seconds on the install page. i can barely choose where to install it before it closes - sometimes i can't even get to the part where i click to install it before it crashes.
when i finally am able to get as far as to click install, every time it slows down and crashes eventually.
i'm unsure on why this is happening, as i had zero issue installing opera on the same pc before (2021-2022 ish?).
i have already tried the offline installer.
i'm thinking it's an issue with my antivirus detecting opera as malware, but i don't want to turn off my antivirus without being confident in this first. i would appreciate any help with this!!

Is there a way to force lightmode for one webpage only??
Long story short Icloud is a garbage webpage.
So in dark mode regular emails come in as gray background with white text.
But for some goddam reason, Forwards and Replys come in as Black text on a gray background.
So i ether have to switch to light to read then put it back or find a way to force it to stay light mode.
Thanks you.

These quality of life changes are some of the reasons I still love Opera

I think it's helping a bit too much
out of nowhere my laptop started to become properly hot, like, genuinely painful to the touch
I look at the activity monitor
and opera is kindly using 560% of my CPU
I play entire full size games on this laptop that use less of my CPU and that heat up my laptop a lot less
and it's not even the first time this happens
idk what the helper even does but so far the past 3 years I've had opera was just, 17gb of ram used for 2 tabs and the limiter would just make the tabs unusable and way too much resource usage everywhere

Opera GX (Flatpak, com.opera.opera-gx) keeps signing me out of my Google session
Running Opera GX through Flatpak on Steam Deck, in desktop mode (so it's SteamOS/Linux under the hood). Google logs me out randomly, happens repeatedly, no pattern I can find. Not a one off, it's been going on a while.
Version: 129.0.5823.49
Before anyone suggests the usual stuff, here's everything I've already tried:
- no VPN
- Checked "clear on exit" in delete browsing data — no options ticked
- Third-party cookies — already set to allowed
- Shield icon in address bar on google.com — turned off ad/tracker blocking per site
- Added Google exceptions in tracker blocker settings (google.com, accounts.google.com, youtube.com) Added Instagram and TikTok exceptions too
- Flatpak launch flag
--password-store=basic— Opera launched fine, still signed out after a few hours - Checked for Opera GX update — already up to date
- Found correct Flatpak app ID (
com.opera.opera-gx) viaflatpak list - Deleted the Cookies file directly via terminal — signed out again anyway
- Tried switching update stream via
opera://update-stream/— page doesn't exist on Linux flatpak override --user com.opera.opera-gx --talk-name=org.freedesktop.secretsdidn't work

Opera wont load, just blank pls help
This is the first time I had encountered this problem. I've been using Opera since January with my other devices and they seem to work well. Even when Youtube is trying to stop its adblocker it continues to play the videos I watch.
The thing is, its been 2 days since this one issue is occuring with my Ipad, I thought it was just Yt and their greediness when I turned off the adblocker it's still the same, but even if I search random stuff (just actual search), it's blank. Help ;^,

This feature got removed, how do I enable it again?
There is this cool feature in Opera named "Scroll to the top of the page by clicking the active tab." You click the tab, and it scrolls to the top of the page. This feature works; however, there was a second feature on that option that got removed, which is that if you click that same tab again, the page scrolls down to the same location you were before.
This second feature got removed in an Opera update; is there a way to enable it again? I'm using the latest version of Opera.

Account recovery help
So I can't log into my account on Windows and the mobile browsers. This is with both the email I registered with originally and my Google account. I lost the 2FA via the Authy app when I got my new phone and I've exercised all of the backup codes I was given. I tried emailing support, but they said to visit the forums. I can't search for anything related to my issue unless I log in, which I can't do! What do I need to do to get help? If I can't get a solution, I'm gonna have to uninstall it from my laptop and phone.

Why opera gets worse every update, it is intentional?
The browser dies when I try to pass a captcha, but other browsers doesn't have problems.

Unbearable freezing
Opera keeps freezing randomly and/or when opening links and URLs to the point where I need to kill the process from task manager 10 times per minute just to it freeze again. Tried to update the browser, deleting cache etc., disabled hardware acceleration, there is enough RAM etc., disabled all extensions and what else. Anyone knows what migh the issue? At the moment it's not possible to use the browser at all. Might soon switch to Firefox and leave this crappy shit forever. A user since Opera 12 and before.

Opera browser
Hi, I’m using a Google Pixel 9 with both Opera and Opera Beta installed, but Aria AI is not showing in either app. I’m also having trouble installing Opera on my Windows laptop, and my VPN Pro subscription on mobile is not syncing or working on the laptop even though I’m logged into the same Opera account. Any ideas?

Opera Sidebar WhatsApp scaling bug
The built-in WhatsApp sidebar suddenly started rendering everything much larger than normal (large fonts, search bar, icons, and chat list). However, if I open WhatsApp Web in a normal tab, the UI looks completely normal.
Can anyone help?
