Bookmarks

Opera comes with a small selection of bookmarks. You can add to and organize your bookmarks as you wish.

Tips:

• Save a webpage as a bookmark by clicking the star in the address field and choosing "Add to bookmarks".
• Opera Link makes it possible to synchronize the bookmarks on all your computers and all your devices.

Accessing bookmarks

Bookmarks can be accessed from the Bookmarks panel, directly from the Bookmarks menu, or by going to Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks.
