Having covered how to set up Opera Flow so that you can seamlessly connect your android phone and Opera browser and send stuff between the two devices using My Flow. If you don’t have an Android Phone or decided not to use My Flow in Opera browser, then you may want to disable the feature, doing that, also removes the Arrow icon in the sidebar as well in the address bar.
Disable My Flow in Opera browser
- Click on Menu > Settings > Browser
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page and under My Flow, uncheck ‘ Enable My Flow’
That’s it My Flow has been disabled or removed from Opera desktop browser.
Do note disabling Flow doesn’t remove any content or connections. When you re-enable it again, the videos, links and images you saved before to My Flow will be available for access in Opera desktop and Touch browsers again.

thank you
You’re welcome EnForceR. Can I know why you’re disabling my flow?
Thanks, and I’m disabling it because I don’t need it and it bothers me when I select some text and when previously was “search” is now My flow. So I often click something I didn’t want.
Maybe thats the reason for most people.
Thanks for knowing me the reason. I too noticed my flow appearing in the search popup when text is selected. BTW if you found search pop up annoying, you can disable it in settings. https://techdows.com/2016/07/opera-search-popup-disable.html
Hmmm looks like Opera will be the next Browser to “Fall on it’s own Sword…”
Dear Opera, cut it out with the “Features” you were already doing a great job. We dont need anymore garbage and bloat; if we wanted that we would be using Firefox good grief…

it takes up 1/4 of my browser face and does nothing for me
Disabling it because I don’t want any “bloat” on my pc or in softwares. In addition to that, I don’t wanna share any of my activities with anyone (including myself).
Case: My home browsing is my home browsing, phones can be misplaced or just browsed through by some bystander.
I’d encourage KISS principle for folks at Opera, don’t try to be too “cute” with all kinds of features which only slow down the browser.
Focus on privacy & security, not pointless crap.
Thanks for the good work.
