      I just installed Opera Version: 63.0.3368.94 about one week ago (as the previous version was very unstable and not worth the time it took to try and fix it/reinstall).

      So – is the 64 version stable?

      I like what I have seen in the past week with Version: 63.0.3368.94 but I do not seem to be able to find a good tutorial to learn your system (Chrome user for many, many years). Does one exist?

      Do you have a good tutorial for Version 64?

      It is soooo great to have an alternative to Chrome.

      I believe Chrome and Google are on their way out – it seems they say “Do No Evil” and do not do as they say they will. Great sums of money seem to corrupt people and their ethics.

      Thanks for your great browser – it seems it truly is an “idea whose time has come” (Victor Hugo).

        @joyusapollo It's an Opera's stable channel release, so, yes, it's stable.

        I don't know why someone would need a tutorial to use a browser but you can check Opera's help page.

          Bug with pinned tabs!
          https://youtu.be/mjAUVK1pBe8
          In the previous version (63.x), everything worked as expected!
          In the 65.x dev version, it also works!
          Please fix it!!!

            @AlexeyGrinko, @kmielczarczyk The matter is that Opera after the second restart unlocks the fixed tabs and therefore they disappear if the parameter "Begin fresh with start page" is enabled in the settings.
            If the "Retain tabs from previous session" option is enabled in the settings , then after the second restart, Opera simply unlocks the tabs that were "Fixed".
            And this is definitely a bug!

                  Hi @temkem, it is usually like that. It should be available after some time, a bit later ;-)

                      Minimize button's focus is not fixed.

                      What's the point to release Stable version earlier and then release a bunch of patches to fix the known bugs?

                        @andrew84 It's almost impossible to release a (complex) software without bugs, so the authors try to fix the ones that could be a showstopper before the release and go resolving the less significant ones after that.

                          @leocg My opinion it's because of hurry because Beta has entered 64 just a month ago and now it's Stable already. Usually it was ~1,5 months testing period between releases. The same was happening with 63 version when there were many patches after the release (I don't want even to mention about the versions skipping).

                            @andrew84 They probably don't want to stay too far behind Chromium.

                                @bartelsandreas Since Opera Mini for IOS seems to no longer is being developed, I don't really think they will fix anything.

                                But you probably should try to ask in the Mobile blog or in the Opera Mini for IOS section of the forum.

                                  When will you change that ugly violet color in the private mood?

                                    @Rubulat I don't think they are even planning to do it.

                                      The search engine StartPage offers to visit websites anonymously:

                                      StartPage_Anonymous View-1.png

                                      To signal this mode, StartPage uses an unusual color, like Opera for its private windows:

                                      StartPage_Anonymous View-2.png

                                      I don't think the two colors are so bad: They have enough signal effect, without being too pushy (as red, orange for example).

                                        @yanta: May be they are not too pushy on the bottom line, but on the upper panel they are very annoying

                                          @Rubulat When Opera introduced this colour, I found it unpleasant at first as well. However, since then it hasn't happened to me that I close a window with dozens of tabs which content I have to rework and then realize that it was a private window whose tabs can't be restored (that's what I meant by signal effect).

                                            @yanta: This signal effect takes too much attention. It's enough to use just another color to understand the differense between normal and private modes.
