OMG.....

1 Option

3 Option
4 The built in... since long long long time ago....

I'm in need of an extension that I can set to automatically intercept and block images over a certain size (ie. 400KB) before they start loading. I'm not sure if it's possible to fetch the size of the image before the image actually begins loading, but I know Opera is the only browser where I can right click an image at the infancy of its loading, select properties, and it will give me the full size of the image in KB long before it finishes loading.

I think even if it's not possible to fetch the size of an image until after it had begun loading, it would still be better to block it, say, when it is 2% loaded rather than waiting until 100% before blocking, else there wouldn't be much point in blocking it in the first place.

I'm on a rubbish connection with a 2GB monthly cap, and I go over the cap every single month because tbh 2GB is pathetic. I'm forced to browse on "show cached images only" mode half the time, but this makes a page look bad. It would be better if there was a way to only block large images.


Of course it would be one step better if I could block images above a certain "bytes per pixel". I have no problem loading a 450KB image if it's at a 1920x1080 resolution, but I've seen images under 800x600 sitting at 800KB, and those are the sort of images I'm wanting to prevent from loading. Perhaps something like this would be suitable:

Settings:
Show all images (gif, jpg, png, etc.) under 200KB regardless of bytes per pixel
Show images between 200KB and 800KB only if under 48 bytes per pixel
Replace blocked images with grey filler (they can be manually loaded by right clicking and choosing "reload")

Where 200KB, 800KB, 48 bytes per pixel etc. are variables and can be modified by the user.

Do you know Opera Turbo?

i being a hardcore fan of opera always wanted people to appreciate it but the lack of addons for opera seem like a good reason for people to get the liking for it but i really wanted a extension which is just like Apture Highlights

this is a really cool utility just like fastestfox addon for firefox

this would really bring a change for the browsing experience for opera users.
thanks for making this wishlist page...

I would like to see an extension that can automatically detect anchors on along page like this and show them in a menu.

Perhaps the existing Access Keys menu shortcut could be used to show the menu if no access keys are already defined for the page. Or the anchor access keys could be appended to the existing access keys menu.

Opera Turbo does not, nor has ever, worked for me. My connection is too slow and unstable to connect to the Opera Turbo server.

If it possible, a screen capture extension could be nice...

Im pretty sure nobody will make this [as they didnt made the "auto correcter" thing i suggested a few months ago]...but ill give it a try anyway.




How about a plugin that lets you edit the url of a site ?

The plugin should automatically redirect me to a site of my choice,after clicking on a link,or typing a link in the url bar.

So for example,lets take http://lifehacker.com/
I want it to redirect me each time to http://ca.lifehacker.com/
If i scroll down to...lets say http://io9.com/ ,and click it,to automatically redirect me to http://ca.io9.com/ .

Hope somebody understood me.


Another example would be :
I click on LINK 1,Opera redirects me to LINK 1.1 .
LINK 1.1 = url of my choice .

Where is NoAds?! It`s one of the most useful extensions!

Of course this is good but, NoAds much comfortable.

Old links is 404 pages now.

mee tooooo !!

I would like to see a
- Send to OneNote extension tool (there is a tool for this in firefox and it would be great to a similar tool; you can print to onenote from opera but that is sometimes not very convenient)
- A citavi picker for opera (or something which redirects information over another browser (there are pickers for ie and ff) to citavi) Citavi is a reference management programme (citavi.com). The people of citavi are open to this idea but currently lack the resources to create a picker for opera)
Unfortunately I lack the programming skills but would be happy if someone else, who actually has the skills, also feels that these would be useful extensions to opera

I would like an extension that removes advertisements when using "Hotspot Shield" (OpenVPN based privacy and security tool) .

Hi,
I would like an extension, which opens specified .swf file in new tab. For example, I want to play http://armorgames.com/play/10317/gemcraft-labyrinth in full screen - without any other elements. So I have to read source code and search URL pointing to .swf file with game. Then I can open it (in this example it'll be http://cache.armorgames.com/files/games/gemcraft-labyrinth-10317.swf/) and save to my bookmarks.

It would be nice if I could do it automatically, for example by clicking ALT + LEFT MOUSE BUTTON on .swf file at http://armorgames.com/play/10317/gemcraft-labyrinth .

What do you think, ha?

Is it possible to do an extension to find whichever tab is hogging a CPU core? I usually have 30-70 tabs open and even 11.10 gets locked up by some pages.

@lucideer et al
Belated thanks for the de-tracking of FB links from December.

Something like LeechBlock or Chrome Nanny would be awesome to have! Both of them allow the user to access certain sites only for a limited time. Very useful for people who get easily distracted by the internet.

I would like to see the following extensions:

1. Delivery receipt for emails sent (this should be a key feature in any email programs)
2. Color to distinguish among recipients (like you can do it in Thunderbird)
3. Stronger filter criteria to handle emails when they arrive, after they have been read, etc.

Many thanks
Alberto S.

Please,
add the possebility to intergrate Zotero. I am tired of using 2 bowsers.

Cheers, Rovaine

Please,

add the possibility to integrate Zotero. I am tired of using 2 browsers.
Cheers, Rovaine

Quoting from another post...

- port the User JS Manager from Unite to an extension, i believe it's more useful as an extension than as a Unite App

Please! Please, please, pretty please. And a User Styles Manager, too. (Or an all-in-one combo.)

Thx.

I downloaded the UserJS Manager but never figured out how it worked. So I made a quick AutoIt script that when run automatically list all UserJS scripts in the UserJS folder with a checkbox by each of them. Then you simply uncheck the ones you want to disable, or check the ones you want to reenable. It opens a window at the mouse that closes itself if you click somewhere else, just like a context menu. Then you can either run it from the windows quick launch bar or add a 'User JS' option in Operas menu.ini, so you can change UserJS settings from a right click on the page.

I will not distribute the exe but I can provide the code, which you can download AutoIt for free to compile it. The JsCfg.exe must be in the same folder as the UserJS scripts to work. It works by changing the script file extention from '.js' to '.js0', so the disabled script stays assesible in the same directory as the enabled scripts. Note: If any other browser that uses the same script folder for UserJS scripts then any disabled scripts will also be disabled in those browsers. Disabled scripts will be disabled for all pages. Reload/refresh the page for the disabled/enabled script to take effect, restarting the browser is not necessary. It should also work (not tested) on Linux using Wine with some mild modification, mainly either hard coding or explicitly setting variables for @DesktopWidth and such.

If you click the script name rather than the checkbox by it then it will open the script in whatever text editor you define by '$editor' below. Use full path if your preferred editor in not in the path.

Opt('GUIOnEventMode',1)
Opt("MustDeclareVars",1)
Opt("TrayIconHide",1)
Dim $tree, $XY=MouseGetPos(), $files=FileList(), $editor="Notepad.exe"
$XY[1]=$XY[1]-23*$files[0]-25
If $XY[0]>@DesktopWidth-360 Then $XY[0]=@DesktopWidth-360
If $XY[1]<0 Then $XY[1]=0
GUICreate("UserJS Editor",360,23*$files[0],$XY[0],$XY[1],0x00C00000,BitOR(0x00000008,0x00000080))
$tree=GUICtrlCreateTreeView(0,0,360,23*$files[0],0x0100)
For $i=1 To $files[0]
	GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem($files[$i],$tree)
	GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1,"toggle")
	If StringRight($files[$i],3)=".js" Then GUICtrlSetState(-1,1)
Next
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
WinWaitNotActive("UserJS Editor")

Func toggle()
		Dim $str=GUICtrlRead(@GUI_CtrlId,1)
		Dim $CtrlId=GUICtrlRead(@GUI_CtrlId)
	If $CtrlId=257 And StringRight($str,4)=".js0" Then
		$str=StringTrimRight($str,1)
		FileMove(@ScriptDir&"\"&$str&"0", @ScriptDir&"\"&$str,1)
		GUICtrlSetData(@GUI_CtrlId,$str)
	ElseIf $CtrlId = 260 And StringRight($str,3)=".js" Then
		FileMove(@ScriptDir&"\"&$str,@ScriptDir&"\"&$str&"0",1)
		GUICtrlSetData(@GUI_CtrlId,$str&"0")
	Else
		Run($editor&" "&@ScriptDir&"\"&$str)
	EndIf
EndFunc

Func FileList()
Dim $files, $fileN, $search=FileFindFirstFile(@ScriptDir&"\*.js?")
	While Not @error
		$fileN=FileFindNextFile($search)
		$files=$files&$fileN&":"
	WEnd
FileClose($search)
Return StringSplit(StringTrimRight($files,2),":")

Extensions do not have access to the File I/O API, so that currently isn't possible.

Multiple auto-selected proxies (like foxyproxy).

Option to enable / disable 'Opera Turbo' in 'Site Preferences'.

As already mentioned : AutoCopy - Select text and it's automatically copied to the clipboard.

It would be good an extension about preview the video ratings of youtube, something like this:

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/73355
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/73110
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/73296

Thanks.

I would like to see an extension similar to the outwit image extension for firefox. if anyone is inerested you can see it at:
http://www.outwit.com/products/images/

I used it for about three years before switching to Opera due to firefox becoming even slower than IE. I loved it.

+1 Second that!

Zotero is FF based but they recently publiched extensions for safari and chrome (they call it connectors: http://www.zotero.org/support/standalone).
These connectors allow the user to send the files to the database in ff directly from the safari or chrome and therefore don't have to switch between browsers

Zotero is actually the reason why I could not convince a number of friends to switch to opera

Extension (or UserJS) that replace the old YouTube embed code to the new, HTML5 compliant embed code:

<iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID" frameborder="0">
</iframe>

(Or at least put a link below the video to the original site)

An extension that integrates KeePass (2.xx series) with Opera. I can't get the global hotkey of KeePass to work with any of my browsers. Now I'm using ChromeIPass for Google Chrome. I hope someone could make one for Opera as well.

1Password.

i really really wish someone made a lil currency converter extension, like the yahoo!finance one, but within the opera toolbar;
also +1 at the mini download statusbar like the one ff has, or like the chrome default one, i find it very useful. thanx

It's really urgent, that there's an acknowledgment of receipt AND reading implemented in Opera Mail.

Thank You

Here's my extension wish (just one):

I want an extension that allows easily to copy a selected part of the open browser window to the clipboard (as an image). It should work as follows:

- Click on a "selection" button that is installed on the personal bar.
- draw a frame over the part of the website you want to copy
- release mouse button and whoops - it's copied to the clipboard for use in other programs

If that already exists, sorry, I might have overlooked something. In this case thanks for pointing me to the link!

Hello,
a mp3 player should be nice.
-open as a tab
-create playlist
-play

thy

I need extension like " Proxy Switchy! for google chrome".
Please please please...

I'll like something similar "Snap Links", but copy the links in the clipboard instead of open them.

I would like to see a proper Instapaper extension. Just have a look at one chrome extensions:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fldildgghjoohccppflaohodcnmlacpb

there are plenty of them in chrome store.
Opera counterparts are just plain extensions adding article to Instapaper.

I want to have an extension which can syncronize the links that I save in Read It Later service.

thanks for making this wishlist page...

+1000!!!

I was looking for something similar too... I suppose it's quite easy to implement it since there is In Place translator that works in a very similar way

Originally posted by Engelium:

I'd like to see a good Tumblr extension ... the bookmarklet works with js files hosted on the (slow) Tumblr server. I think an extension could make posting on Tumblr more easy and fast (without lags and waste of time)

OK time to re-up this request

Is there any good developer who is interested in creating a good, strong Tublr extension with these features ?

- all needed files must be packed in the extension and not in Tumblr server (like bookmarklet and current extension in catalog)
- it must work offline too (eventually saving posts in the Opera locale database to send them when there is a connection)

Thanks in advance

This dev is interested in porting his extension to Opera, but has some issues with the API: http://blog.missinge.infraware.ca/post/4992172720/opera-extension-api-is-not-fun

It would be a really cool feature if hover would work in opera speed dial extensions.
There could lot more information in a speed dial!!!!
Looking forward to it!
Brano

The BitTorrent dialog is a bit limited in Opera.
It would be nice if someone could create an extension that allowed you to see extra info like:
Connected peers
Progress of individual files within multi-file torrents
Amount downloaded/uploaded etc

Something like specifying the priority of files within a torrent would be good too, but that would probably have to be a core fix/option.

How about moving this wishlist to the add ons page and having some sort of voting system?

I need this extension in Opera,
http://www.samabox.com/projects/chrome/switchy/

1.) Please make an extension that enables smooth panning on a touchscreen!
2.) an extension that allows to access Google bookmarks
3.) a send to one note extension!

Please I 'm tired of using Firefox Oh my windows tablet!
