I would like to know how is chrome.storage.sync synced in Opera.
The documentations talks about Opera Sync, is that Opera Link?
Is there any web page to guide the users on how to enable the chrome.storage.sync extension settings sync?
Does Opera button>More tools>Synchronise have anything to do with it?
The Chrome Sync implementation is much more straightforward to me.
Can't use it if I don't know if it will work on Opera's side.
Unfortunately chrome.storage.sync is not supported yet. There is no any connection to the Opera Sync.
According to the Opera documentation at
https://dev.opera.com/extensions/declare-permissions/
chrome.storage.sync is not supported.
If you try using chrome.storage.sync in your code the browser will "fallback" to using chrome.storage.local to maintain compatibility, so it won't actually sync settings across multiple browsers.

According to PhpStorm documentation:
Debugging of Vue.js applications is only supported in Google Chrome and in other Chromium-based browsers.
People like Jonathan Bossenger already tried to circumvent this dependency and make it work with Firefox anyway, but only to come with conclusion like:
Even if you try to edit the available list of browsers and enable Firefox it won’t come up as an option. Believe me, I tried!
Which lead to the question: what is integrated within Chrome/Chromium which is not present in Firefox, leading to this deficiency in development facility?
We used to support Firefox remote debugging (but without source maps) through the FireFox Remote run configuration, but our solution doesn't work in the latest Firefox versions due to changes in the protocol, and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to fix it. We've made some progress recently, but there are still some blocking issues.

I currently have a Chrome extension that uses Chrome's APIs and plan on making a Microsoft Edge version once it opens up as well. My question is how do you work with the multiple API's?
For example, I use the following to check if the extension has just been installed or not:
chrome.runtime.onInstalled
I'm assuming for Edge it would be something like:
edge.runtime.onInstalled
What's the best way to work with both of these? Do I just duplicate the code within the file where there is a copy of the code for one and the other and presumably the browser will ignore the other browser's code? (doesn't sound like the good option)
Or is there some cross-browser framework that I should use instead?
Or is there some other solution?
And please forgive me, this is my first entry into building extensions/apps, I'm generally just a Web Designer.
Thank you!
All browsers support or
chrome.runtime.onInstalled
or
browser.runtime.onInstalled
So, the right way is to start scripts in your extension with this code:
var browser = browser || chrome
And then use browser, for example:
browser.runtime.onInstalled
(I'm sorry about my english)
Edit:
Chrome and Opera support chrome and not browser.
Firefox support chrome and browser.
Edge support browser and I don't know if it support chrome.
Anyway, my solution work in all browsers.
Update (5.8.16):
Edge support browser and not chrome.
I use the Google Chrome remote debugging protocol to get benchmarking information of the page loading process with Google Chrome. I would like to switch to Opera which should offer the same functionality now that it runs on Chromium.
I started Opera with the cli parameters "--remote-debugging-port=9222 --enable-benchmarking --enable-net-benchmarking" similar to starting Google Chrome. I discovered that benchmarking seams not to be started in Opera - the chrome.benchmarking object is not visible to JavaScript.
I didn't find any documentation on the cli parameters for Opera, neither how to work with the remote debugging protocol in Opera.
Does anybody know how benchmarking can be enabled and/or the remote debugging protocol works in Opera?
Maybe you don't need this anymore, but I did today.
For some reason (maybe it's by design, but I didn't bother to check), you can't really start two separate instances of Chropera. Therefore, you first have to exit opera (from the menu to save your session).
Then, find your installation directory, and start Opera with the params:
C:\PROGRA~2\OperaNew\31.0.1889.174>opera --remote-debugging-port=9222 "http://www.opera.com"
(Maybe you can use launcher.exe, but I didn't bother checking)
Then, using another browser, visit http://localhost:9222. Maybe you can use the same one, but again, I didn't bother checking.
Now it's just the same as the Chrom(e|ium) protocol.
Hope that helps somebody.
Just like in Chrome Developer Tool, I was wondering if there is any tool/extension/plugin which would allow me to export timeline data in Safari. I tried the nightly build of webkit but it does not have that feature. Seems like this is a Chrome specific functionality.
I have to use Safari because I am testing a webapp on iPhone.
I searched around for any hints but could not get any. As of now I am thinking of two options to get the timeline information:
Build a Safari extension
Get Chrome Dev Tool's timeline code and build my own version of webkit (if that's even possible!)
Any guides/insights would be highly appreciated!
Update 1: I downloaded Webkit and found out that it supports remote iPhone debugging through USB. Probably I can find the code for web inspector for Webkit and use that code to export the timeline data.
Safari's Web inspector does use the WebKit remote debugging protocol.
However, Safari does not use TCP/HTTP as a transport layer, thus
making it incompatible with Chrome. source
Thankfully, someone from Google wrote a proxy allowing to overcome this limitation.
The organization I work for has deployed the Opera web browser to many (Windows) workstations; each is using the kiosk mode. At one time, there was a very detailed help page for this feature. However, I can no longer find it. Rather, this link:
http://www.opera.com/support/mastering/kiosk/
...simply takes me to the main Opera help page...
http://www.opera.com/help
Has Opera stopped supporting this feature? Or, are they simply retooling their help documentation?
12.14 still supports the kiosk mode. During a transition to a new publishing system recently, this link seems to have been dropped. Documentation has been notified and will fix the link. In the mean time, this should work: http://web.archive.org/web/20130223014915/http://www.opera.com/support/mastering/kiosk/
