@firuz-u7 The high CPU usage due to audio indicator animation is being handled in DNA-82626

Just for information.

@cristianhcd Chromium seems to be implementing a reader mode, so maybe Opera may have one too.

opera//flags/#enable-reader-mode

@cristianhcd Of course I was talking about something that may happen in the future.

Still no support for Indian rupee currency sign in search popup.

@andrew84 Opera get the info from the ECB, so only the currencies listed there are supported.
Maybe there is one that uses another source, so if there is a reliable, preferentially official, one, then maybe Opera can add support.

@leocg I meant only this symbol because the currency itself is in settings(and it works if I select price that contains 'INR' letters).

@gmiazga: Crashed non-stop here last 24 hours. Last 3 versions suddenly (assuming they can be started from their 'backup' directories) ie probably sync server change triggering eg old buffer overrun bug.

Deleted 'Preferences' file, and so far so good.

After scrolling in the Page Source page or searching something from the Page Source page by Ctrl+F, then I copying the text is disabled and search bar (Ctrl+F) hangs.

You add a tracker blocker to the browser but you also add big advertisements directly in the speed dial.... Seriously???
I didn't went to Opera for that kind of shitty practices

Private window bug, I've read about it here in the blog and on forum too and, can I confirm
that behavior. https://forums.opera.com/topic/36691/opera-won-t-load-pages-after-an-incognito-window-is-closed-if-no-page-was-loaded-in-the-regular-window-first

1. Open browser.
2. Don't open any pages in regular window, right click on bookmark and select open in private window.
3. close the private window.
4. That's all, browser is broken and it's impossible to open pages (continuous loading happens) until restart.

On all channels.

@leocg: There is no guarantee that this problem will not appear with new versions of Opera in the future, so it is advisable to replace it with a non-animated indicator. This is my suggestion. I hope Opera Developers will hear my request.

@firuz-u7 That won't be necessary. While the audio indicator animation exposes the issue, it's not the cause. The cause is deeper but being taken care of. Sit tight.

Bookmarked internal pages show 'chrome' in the address (in tooltip too when hovering), not 'opera'.

@andrew84 Yeah, there are inconsistencies like that all over the place. But, the issues are not very high priority.

new build 66.0.3515.2
Edit:

• What have you done with video pop-out!? It disables a video in the main window, but the popup doesn't have controls (volume, next video, no video caption)

Another Gif recreates the issue "here".

It seems that in 66.0.3515.2 the default Chromium's Picture-in-picture is used. You continue to kill own features instead of improving them. Unpinned sidebar, Quick Access, Video pop-out.. what will be next... the search pop-up?
