  @blackbird71 I've kind of done that already using Ccleaner, after watching numerous videos and reading lots of articles on the matter it's obvious it's a common problem and has been for some time, I've thrown in the towel and gone back to Firefox which is a shame because I preferred the privacy and layout of Opera, but hey thanks for trying to help me much appreciated .

  The issue remains. I have since upgraded my macOS to 10.14.6. I am still running Opera 65.0.3467.62. As I type this in one Opera tab, the adjacent one shows the SeekingAlpha favicon appearing for The New York Times.

  The video is playing normally, but when I click on the pop-up icon, the pop-up window is just a blank white rectangle that can't even be moved around with a mouse. Meanwhile, the main video becomes black, with a text saying "Playing in picture-in-picture". The sound is still there, so the video is playing, but I can't see it. Another weird thing is that there's a separate "picture in picture" window in the taskbar. Before the update, pop-up videos didn't have their own taskbar entries. I know that I should expect bugs when using the beta version, I'm just curious if it's a known bug, and if there's some kind of solution, other than waiting for an update that fixes it. edit: I found the reason! I went to about:flags, and had to disable "Use surface layers in Video Pop-out". Now everything's like before. But I'll leave this thread open, since it seems like a bug, so maybe the devs should know about it.

  I am coming from Firefox and I wanted to give Opera a try. Opera is innovative and it requires a little adaptation but there's a few things that bothers me enough to ask myself if I will keep using the browser in the future. It may seems like details to some, but it's those details that I am most used to with Firefox and they always make me come back in the end. I would like to propose a handful of costumization features that I think could please current users and bring new users. Move the favorites bar to the same row of the search bar I don't see the use of a search bar that takes the whole width of the window. This allows to save a little space vertically, I agree, but it can be very annoying for users that may have smaller screens or resolutions. An alternative to that is to hide the favorites bar, but have the possibility to snap links to the side bar. It would provide a quicker access than going through the favorites shortcut icon — whereas some users may have hundreds of links saved into categorized folders. During a session, I almost never type urls so having a quick access to my most visited websites is a big advantage for me. Hide/Remove the instant screenshot icon I never used this feature in any browsers. I don't see why I cannot get rid of it in Opera. Hide the extension icons (to the user's preference) In firefox, it is possible to hide the extensions into a group icon. Instead of having 10 extensions taking space and shrinking the search bar uselessly, I can regroup all my extensions — or a few — into an icon. screenshot here. Allow the user to choose the density of the icons in the navigation bar Again, in firefox, it is possible to use compact, normal or touch icons. In the same way I wish to save space with the favorites bar merged with the search bar, I use compact icons.
