New update - Opera developer 50.0.2753.0

The change log, and the announcement.

"Today’s developer build brings Chromecast support, adds cryptocurrencies conversions, and continues bookmarks bar refactoring, which started in the last release. It also addresses the problem of session losses, that happen when Opera crashes on startup, a possible occurrence in the developer channel.

Chromecast support

Chromecast is gaining popularity. Recently, Google revealed, that it has sold 55 million Chromecasts, up from 30 million in July 2016. Before you can start casting, you need to enable the support first. Head to Settings (Preferences on macOS) -> Browser -> User interface and tick “Enable Chromecast support”.

To start casting YouTube videos, just click the cast icon found in the video’s player controls. Alternatively, you can select “Cast…” from the page’s context menu or from the O-Menu (Windows, Linux) or View (macOS). Opera 50 supports casting for videos, tabs and the full desktop.

Currency converter extended with cryptocurrencies

List of currencies recognized by our currency converter is extended with four popular cryptocurrencies:

1. Bitcoin (BTC), 1.00 BTC.

2. Ethereum (ETH), 1.00 ETH.

3. Bitcoin Cash (BTH), 1.00 BCH.

4. Litecoin (LTC), 1.00 LTC.

Protect your session against crashes

Upon a crash loop detection, Opera will not remove your current browsing session. Instead, all pages will be marked for manual reload upon re-activation, except for the current tab, which will detail the encountered problem. This will fix the annoying problem of losing all opened tabs due to an unrelated problem, such as with syncing for instance.

Of course, it’s worth noting the following fixes:

• [Win] rusradio.ua, hitfm.ua players didn’t play music.

• [Mac, High Sierra] Fix for Netflix’s error message “Whoops, something went wrong…” ."

The Chromium has been updated to version 63.0.3230.0.

Known issues:

• [Chromecast][Linux] Opera crashes during casting desktop.
• [Chromecast][Mac] Extension remains red even when casting.

There is an issue with version 50.0.2753.0. It uses a lot of CPU all the time. Even with 1 tab open it uses 50-60% CPU (Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, 64 bit)

Strange...I'm running the same Windows setup as you and with several tabs open it barely uses 1-2% of CPU,
it initially tops out with pretty high usage when I first open the tabs but quickly drops to the percentages I quoted above.

This happens even if I disable all the extensions, but I think I found the culprit. There are two processes that take the whole CPU up together, one of them is probably the browser, since everything crashes if I kill it. The other one is... something. I checked the process name for it and it's this: Pastebin link since it's very long

I can kill it and the browser will still work, so nothing important I guess. And if I kill one, the other stops using up CPU too... Strange, but at least there's a workaround for now.

I don't have a solution for you friend sorry...
it would appear however that you aren't the only one experiencing this problem with high CPU usage according to reports in the Developer Blog.

New update - Opera developer 50.0.2759.0 ;-)

The change log, and the announcement.

"Hi, to start the week, we have an Opera 50 developer update, which focuses on Speed Dial and bookmarks bar refactoring, and bug fixes between the two.

We have addressed the issue of being unable to drag a Speed Dial tab up into your bookmarks bar, to create a bookmark. This should be working now. Also, users were experiencing a stubborn bookmarks bar, which would continue to appear despite being told to hide - we have fixed this bug."

The Chromium has been updated to version 63.0.3236.0.
