O53 must be one of the most boring releases.... C'mon...: News? Ok....
So how does these look:

1 sidebar?
web panels?
split screen views?

Since Opera 53.0.2885.0 developer (also Opera 53.0.2893.0) i get a system message when opening a URL if it comes from an external program (IRC link, help link from LibreOffice, etc.).

Error
German:

Der vorgegebene Internetnavigator konnte nicht gestartet werden.
Eingabe-/Ausgabefehler

English:

Failed to execute default Web Browser.
Input/output error

Site opens, but with the stupid system dialog.

No dialog with Opera developer 53.0.2880.0, Opera stable, Firefox, Vivaldi
The dialog only opens if Opera Dev ⋝ 53.0.2885.0 is the default browser.
command line:
exo-open URL with dialog (exo-open starts the default browser)
opera-developer URL without dialog

OS: Siduction 64bit
DE: Xfce 4.12

Can anybody confirm that, or what is the mistake?

53.0.2893.0 (macOS), the Code Signing has been changed to A2P9LX4JPN.
1Password Extension don't work, which is related to the new signing (the usual troubleshoting has been done, either on their side or Opera. Reference: https://support.1password.com/extension-troubleshooting/)
Getting frequent crashes when opening a new tab for ”Manage Extensions”. Crashlog: https://gist.github.com/christopheranderton/6487066001ba719495fa4bab6970fdc4

New update - Opera developer 53.0.2900.0 ;-)

The change log, and the announcement.

"Since spring is just around the corner, we’re doing some spring cleaning in Opera developer 53. You’ll find improvements to tabs’ display, especially with several of them opened, and some new colors for the address bar in this build.

Optimized display of tabs

Recently, for Mac users, it’s been difficult to find and manage a particular tab when many of them are open. We figured out a way to optimize this and make your plentiful tabs’ favicons more visible. Let’s see how it changed:

To make it even more visible, clicking on a tab will expand it to make it easier to manage.

There is also a fresh, sharpened coloring done to the address bar.

Other highlights:
- Windows 10 bug with an empty pop-up, when text is selected by a touch screen is fixed.
- Opera will install on Ubuntu 18.04, Bionic.
- Touch bar is fixed (macOS).
- Missing translations added."

Known issues:

- Tabs previews can be broken.
- Capturing full page by Snapshot doesn’t work.
- Issues with saving as PDF..

The Chromium has been updated to version 66.0.3355.4.

A Former User @l33t4opera

@l33t4opera You need to sign this version (53) so that password manager extension like 1Password will correctly identify the browser as Opera and work again. The 1Password extension works fine in the beta version and did work in all previous dev versions.

@markbyrn We don't release unsigned builds. Problem with 1Password is that they base their verification on old certificate which will soon expire. Since 53.0.2893.0 we use new certificate so it's up to 1Password to update their verification.
I've send them information about this, but we have no direct contact so no idea how long it's going to take.

@deluxive thanks for analysis of 1Password. I've sent them request to update their signatures database with our new certificate. As for the crash build 53.0.2900.0 release this week includes fix for crash when opening new tabs on Mac. Hopefully it should also be fine for you.

1password issue is still not resolved. 1password support told me they have not been officially contacted by opera developers (https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/comment/419030#Comment_419030). Can the developers contact 1password at support@agilebits.com to have this resolved? Thanks!

@loup001 When dumping opera://gpu info, only 'Graphics Feature Status' and 'Log Messages' are necessary at first.

As you can see, hardware acceleration is disabled or not working in your system. Check if it's enabled in settings.
