I’ve noticed the Web Speech API issue as well, and it can be frustrating when you rely on it for projects that need smooth user interaction. While working on brewmenuus
, I realized how much small browser bugs can affect overall usability, so I’d also like to know if there’s any reliable workaround here.

Looks like on macOS, clicking the red close button ends up closing the entire Opera app even if you're just trying to close one window. A more reliable shortcut is ⌥ Option + F4 (Alt+F4 on Windows/Linux) to close the current window without quitting the browser entirely. Alternatively, if you're on Windows or Linux, Ctrl + W closes the tab (and the window if it was the last tab), while Alt + F4 closes the window directly. Hope that helps!

@JustWantTo I'm experiencing the exact same problem on my Ubuntu PC. I cannot find a way to add my local printer to the Destination drop-down. Both Firefox and Brave have no such problems. Otherwise, I really like Opera, and I'd really rather not have to switch back.

how to reporting issue

Posting about your problem

After have done the steps above and confirmed that the problem is most probably in Opera, it's time to post about it.

Read the rules: https://forums.opera.com/rules

Start the topic with a title that briefly describe the problem so people will know about what this is about.
Don't try to explain all the problem in the title.
Try to be as more specific as possible. Avoid too generic topic titles.

Use tags to make it easy for other users to find posts about similar issues. If posting about Opera Mail then add the 'Opera Mail' tag
Try to use up to 3 tags.

Try to not use more than three tags

In the post (body) you should include the following information:

Your OS (Linux, Mac, Windows)

Your version of Opera

If the problem is with a page, a link to it

A screen-shot of the problem if it's related to something not showing as should

A description of the problem, including as much as information as possible

Steps to (try to) reproduce the issue

Expected behavior and actual one

Do not use caps on your post. There aren't and there never will be reasons to use caps.

@wezelkrozum said in Manifest v3 Opera:

I did receive a follow-up yesterday:

Hello,

I'll request to remove the post or at least correct it. This is informational mistake.

"Starting in June, the branch for Chrome 139 will begin, in which support for Manifest V2 extensions will be removed from Chrome. Unlike the previous changes to disable Manifest V2 extensions which gradually rolled out to users, this change will impact all users on Chrome 139 at once. As a result, Chrome 138 is the final version of Chrome to support Manifest V2 extensions"

We as Opera probably will sync an 139 intake in August/September 2025.

Sorry for the confusion.

Now this is interesting, we are still at Chromium 135 on the current Opera version.

On the other hand, I still believe in that announcement they made almost one year ago, but they still have to come back with another up-to-date announcement, as Chromium 139 stopped running MV2 addons for good.

@leocg Thanks for the clarification! That makes sense now. Hopefully, they’ll add the option to customize the start page search in future updates.

@leocg brave blocks all ads, so does duckduck . Opera wont even load sites like home depo etc. Think it's time to switch, program was short lived and over hyped

@leocg So I set the startup option to begin . a fresh page, closed and restarted Opera, then set the startup option back to using previous tabs and it worked. I'm a little puzzled why the same problem occurred on two different laptops at the same time, but are now working as desired. Thanks very much for the assistance.

flow my flow

After a year trying to connect my flow between my computer and my phone, I finally succeeded. I did several things at once. I log out from my opera account in my laptop, then in my phone I closed all the tabs, then went to settings - apps - opera - storage - clear cache and the other storage, then uninstalled the app and installed again. Once installed, when I opened it I said yes to everything, I let it be the default browser in my phone, and gave it permission to take my info (those are the two messages that pop up when opening the app). I opened flow, in the computer with the qr code and in the phone, too. First flow connected in the pc, but gave me an error in the phone, I did the same thing again and it jumped to opera connect, appeared the code, the computer synced up, then again the same, the phone synced up, and finally after four qr codes scanned, my flow connected. I don'

@leocg thanks! I didnt want to accuse anyone, I just wanted an answer, as I said, and I wanted to contextualize where my question was coming from and what my (reasonable) fear was.

I appreciate your answer.
