In Opera Developer 137.0.6015.0 that just came out, there's now a "chrome.sidePanel API" flag at the URL opera://flags/#side-panel-full-api that's enabled by default.

We fixed an issue where sessions could be wiped after a crash loop instead of simply skipping page loads

Session fixes are always welcome. Thanks.

@ZionKyrie Just update Opera GX

@UltraVio1et Sometimes you have to email the maintainer to let him know things are not updating automatically.

I just deleted the WidevineCdm folder in the user data folder, started Opera GX, went to the URL opera://components and clicked update for the Widevine component. 4.10.3050.0 was fetched and installed.

Tested on Windows 11 with Opera GX 135.0.5973.94 64-bit. In the U.S.

I would guess that something is blocking the download from Google's servers. Can you install Chrome, close it, delete its WidevineCdm folder and then try to update its component to see if that's successful?

You can hit shift + esc in Opera to open its task manager to narrow down the the process that's causing issues. Each process has a description of what it's for.

Also, goto the URL opera://settings/system and make sure graphics acceleration is enabled. Then, goto the URL opera://gpu and make sure most things (especially compositing and video decoding) are hardware-accelerated.

If you're using an adblocker on Youtube, that can cause high CPU usage.

@Yaman643 Couldn't reproduce it here.

@Yaman643 You mean the drop down list with the search suggestions?

@Yaman643 What do you mean by "not closing"?
