This was overnight, and it started over a week ago

@lu-menard Thanks for the clarification. I see what you mean now.

Sounds like the wallpaper in Opera was set to "Desktop" to show your desktop's background. But, when you changed the desktop background, Opera still showed the old desktop background as its wallpaper.

I can confirm this on Windows at least. But, when I restart Opera, Opera will then update. As in, the problem you're seeing is that Opera doesn't recognize changes to the desktop background while open, not even if you switch to a different wallpaper and then back to using the desktop one. You always have to restart Opera.

I can see how that's not ideal.

I have solved my issue.

It turns out the libffmpeg.so I was using in lib_extra directory was the problem. While one version of libffmpeg.so might fix Twitter or Instagram problems they do not necessarily fix DRM Netflix or Spotify issues which uses Widevine.

To fix the problem:
I downloaded https://repo.herecura.eu/herecura/x86_64/opera-beta-ffmpeg-codecs-95.0.4638.32-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst from https://repo.herecura.eu/herecura/x86_64/ as mentioned in https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/linux_libffmpeg_config .
moved the libffmpeg.so to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera-beta/lib_extra/libfmpeg.so and now I am all up and running.

@sgunhouse The way it works with FVD Speed Dial's groups and Vivaldi's speed dial folders is pretty nice. You have the folder/group names listed at the top of the start page, and when you click a folder/group name, it switches the speed dial section to a different page. It's kind of like on Android and iOS when you swipe left and right between home screen pages.

In this case, there are 2 things that could be considered better than in Opera. One is the folder/group pages are full-size where clicking on a folder in Opera shows a content-sized preview overlay. The other thing is that in Opera, there's no folder list at the top of the page to easily switch to different folders. In Opera, you move the mouse to the folder the actual folder which could be a lot more eye and mouse tracking. I personally have no problem with either way, Vivaldi's way seems nice to me.

As in, Opera's UI for speed dial folders could use some visual changes/improvements (preferable as customization options).

The General A/My Site Is Not Working in Opera for Desktops Topic

Hello guys,

I’ve been using Opera for ages. I can boldly assume that I could be one of the most faithful users who have never changed it for any other browsers. However, these days I was seriously considering doing so.

Why, you might ask. Well, this is the problem. When I turn my laptop on and open Opera, it crashes. I then need to force close it in Task Manager and restart it. Only when I force close it for the third or fourth time does it manage to open properly. Furthermore, the pages seem to load slowlier than ever. In fact, it takes an eternity until the page is completely loaded. Not to mention if there are some “heavier” images or videos.

As I have been working from home for almost a year and a half, I’ve been forced to install another browser for work. It was a tough decision to make, but I simply had to since it started to affect my productivity. Yet, I’m still using it for personal browsing despite all the issues. But what happened recently might definitely make me ditch Opera for good.

Two days ago, I tried to open an online casino which I had been visiting without any issues until then. Opera simply crashed. I tried to open it again, still nothing. Then again, but without any success. It was as if it had died. Then I attempted to open all three of these [https://terminatorx.cx/new-online-casinos-launched-in-2020/] (in case my old one is outdated or something like that) but to no avail. It was like trying to bring a stone to life.

Can anyone please explain what has been going on here? I’m slowly starting to lose my nerves and patience, it’s just a matter of time when I will stop using the browser I used to be a huge fan of.

Can I browse the blocked website on opera without a VPN?

Just enable the VPN and select any location you want to use. If you cant access the desired site then change the country to another one.

feedback general

After years of using Ope rI am finally giving up. It has often had glitches and can be temperamental, but it was good.Now it selects at random which website I can visit or not.

' Your connection is not private ' and refuses to allow me to visit even when I overrule it. These are sites I use daily ! And well known sites. This is ridiculous .No way to make contact with Opera and seek a remedy. Instead we have to do their work for them and (unpaid ) and solve their problems between us. Authoritarian profiteering No I am moving and taking all me stuff with me .the internet companies are becoming fascist.
