Opera is based on Chromium, so it s safe as any other Chromium browser. As well when I'm moving, as I really can use it as a mini laptop for Linux. And yeah, one of the first web browsers I looked for was Opera GX... So +1 for Opera GX here!!! VidimusWolf last edited by No support for Linux... Disappointing, but I hope they are working on it! Will keep using Chrome for now. Thing is, my personal PC runs on Windows, but unless I can migrate to a single browser for all my devices, my work laptop included (running Linux), then I just can't justify migrating to Opera GX.

Or at least it wasn't, I haven't checked if things have changed but before you would have to build Chromium with hardware acceleration enabled.As to the ads, the browser would require to have an ad blocker automatically built in.But yeah, I've been pretty busy with work. I haven't checked out Firefox GX, but those Firefox-gx guys should add my suggestions if they haven't already. illogicalfallacy last edited by This post is deleted!Comments

Open the CSV file in a text editor to confirm your login info is there are correct. Then, in Opera, with the import flag mentioned earlier turned on, goto the URL opera://settings/passwords, click the 3 dots to the right of "saved passwords", and import the CSV file.For crashes, see this post. For someone to try and reproduce the crash when importing bookmarks my Chrome, your exact Chrome version details would be needed. And, your "Bookmarks" file in your Chrome profile folder would be needed. Also, your exported bookmarks.html file would be needed too if importing from the file causes a crash too.A bookmarks
