Opera

Opera (12.16 and earlier) is currently unsupported so won't show the 'edit source' tab. So at the moment the suggestion to use 'Stylish' is not relevant. I don't know whether the new Webkit version of Opera (Opera 15 and later) is supported, it may well be as it is a Chrome clone, but O15 has more bugs and shortcomings than VE and there is little reason to use it at the moment anyway.

It should be working now. Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:13, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, so it is - however it tells me that I am using a browser that is not officially supported by VE even though it does seem to work. Having tried it and found it was so slow to load I very quickly disabled it again in my preferences. Dsergeant (talk) 05:47, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Changing the user preference label

Hi. I've begun a discussion at MediaWiki talk:Visualeditor-preference-betatempdisable#Changing this message to discuss whether we should change the user preference label that completely disables VisualEditor. Please participate there. --MZMcBride (talk) 06:53, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How do you open VisualEditor on the mobile devices?

I mean, if you want to edit with VisualEditor on a mobile devicertain, how can you possibly do that?🤔 PoulaChess1243 (talk) 21:34, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You click on the pencil button, then you pick "Visual editing" by clicking on it again. Does it work, PoulaChess1243? (I am not 100% sure if you see the option if you have explicitly disabled it in your Preferences on desktop, can't test ATM, but if you don't get the option then that's probably why.)

Can't disable it on Chromium

I followed the procedure but I still can't manage to opt out without disabling whole javascript on the page. Ogoorcs (talk) 12:26, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ogoorcs, which procedure did you follow? Did you change your settings in Special:Preferences? Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 18:16, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
