Published 2026-11-03 - Updated 2026-11-03 - By VaultForYou Editorial Team - Checked against each browser's help pages, November 2026 ## Quick answer In Opera, hover a bookmark on the Bookmarks page and click the pencil, or right-click -> Edit. You can change the name, the address and the folder. - **Edit:** hover a bookmark on the Bookmarks page and click the pencil, or right-click -> Edit - **Fields:** Name, URL, folder - **Several at once:** Select in the manager and drag to move; names are edited one by one ## Edit a bookmark in Opera 1. **Find the bookmark** On the bookmarks bar, in the star menu, or in `opera://bookmarks`. 2. **Open Edit** hover a bookmark on the Bookmarks page and click the pencil, or right-click -> Edit. 3. **Change what you need** Shorten the name so it fits on the bar, paste a new address if the page moved, or pick another folder. 4. **Save** Click Save or Done. With sync on, the change reaches your other devices. Menu labels change between versions of Opera; the shortcut and the internal address `opera://bookmarks` don't. ## Rename from the star On a page you have already saved, the star in the address bar is filled. Click it to rename the bookmark or move it, without opening the manager. ## Icons on the bar Give a bookmark an empty name and only its site icon shows on the bookmarks bar, which fits three times as many. Opera replaces the icon when you next visit the site. ## Keep some bookmarks out of Opera altogether Renaming a bookmark to something vague is a common way to keep it from standing out; it still shows in the manager and in sync. [Private Bookmarks](/private-bookmarks) is our free extension that saves pages into an encrypted vault on this computer: AES-256-GCM, a key derived from your password, no account, no sync and no network access. Saved pages never appear in the bookmarks bar, in `opera://bookmarks` or in an Opera account, and the vault locks itself after a few minutes. Opera installs Chrome Web Store extensions once the free "Install Chrome Extensions" add-on from Opera's own add-ons site is in place. After that, Add to Chrome becomes Add to Opera. > **Add Private Bookmarks to Opera.** Free. Installs from the Chrome Web Store.
