Basic functionality of extensions for the Opera browser

An inexperienced user can compare the Opera browser with a completely unnecessary resource for a PC due to overload with additional options. In fact, this opinion is erroneous, since Opera allows you to use a lot of useful extensions in each specific case. If earlier Opera had similarities with the design of Google Chrome, today it has a completely individual design and certain functions that are achieved by installing extensions. This interface has the following features:

• convenient work with tabs;
• protection of personal data and privacy when navigating websites;
• built-in protection against fraud associated with electronic money and card data;
• support for Android instant messengers directly from the sidebar of the browser;
• built-in ad blocker;
• Opera Turbo add-on, which helps increase page speed when the Internet is slow.

However, this is not the entire list of advantages that the claimed browser has. You can find out more about everything in our next section.

If you previously used another browser, then when you connect to Opera, you will be able to synchronize frequently used tabs.

Enabling the plugin

In the plugin manager window that opens, to more conveniently view disabled elements, especially if there are many of them, go to the “Disabled” section.

We are presented with non-functioning Opera browser plugins. In order to resume work, just click on the “Enable” button under each of them.

As you can see, the names of the plugins have disappeared from the list of disabled elements. To check if they are enabled, go to the “Enabled” section.

The plugins appeared in this section, which means that they are functioning, and we completed the activation procedure correctly.

Important! Starting with Opera 44, the developers have removed a separate section in the browser for configuring plugins. Thus, the method of including them described above is no longer relevant. Currently, there is no way to completely disable them, and, accordingly, to enable them by the user. However, it is possible to disable the functions for which these plugins are responsible in the general settings section of the browser.

Currently, Opera has only three built-in plugins:

• Flash Player (playing flash content);
• Chrome PDF (PDF document viewer);
• Widevine CDM (working with protected content).

You cannot add other plugins. All these elements are built into the browser by the developer and cannot be removed. The user cannot influence the operation of the Widevine CDM plugin in any way. But the functions performed by “Flash Player” and “Chrome PDF” can be disabled by the user through the settings. Although they are always enabled by default. Accordingly, if these features have been manually disabled, you may need to enable them in the future. Let's figure out how to activate the functions of the two specified plugins.

1. Click Menu. In the list that opens, select “Settings”. Or just use the Alt+P combination.
2. In the settings window that opens, move to the “Sites” section.
3. To enable the “Flash Player” plugin function, find the “Flash” block in the section that opens. If the radio button in it is activated in the “Block Flash running on sites” position, this means that the function of the specified plugin is disabled.

   To enable it unconditionally, set the switch to the “Allow sites to run Flash” position.

   If you want to enable a limited function, then the switch should be moved to the “Detect and run important Flash content (recommended)” or “On request” position.

4. To enable the “Chrome PDF” plugin function in the same section, go to the “PDF Documents” block. It is located at the very bottom. If there is a checkmark next to the "Open PDF files in your default PDF viewing application" option, the browser's built-in PDF viewer feature is disabled. All PDF documents will not be opened in a browser window, but through a standard program that is designated in the system registry as the default application for working with this format.

   To activate the “Chrome PDF” plugin function, you just need to uncheck the above box. Now PDF documents located on the Internet will be opened through the Opera interface.

Previously, enabling the plugin in the Opera browser was quite simple by going to the appropriate section. Now the parameters for which the few plugins remaining in the browser are responsible are regulated in the same section where other Opera settings are located. This is where the plugin functions are now activated.
