Is it difficult to restyle/improve the Chromium's popup to look like Opera's one and keep the visual part unchanged (controls location) during future Chromium updates? Or now there will be a complete dependence on what Chromium is changing there?

For example, in 81 Chromium* (I tried it in Edge Canary so maybe visual changes are made by Edge) that popup looks a bit better (there's no full screen dimming effect while hovering the cursor which I described here when was comparing these two popups https://forums.opera.com/post/192771)

• No. Changes are made by Edge because I tried Chrome Canary and there's still the full screen dimming effect and 'play' button in the center.
  It means that it's possible to move controls and change the appearance.

Video timeline is already added by Opera. There's need to add timing at the right bottom corner, caption and most important is volume controls. And move 'back to tab' and 'play/pause' buttons. It will acceptable then.

This is the third version since the day the lack of translation and bad spelling were reported.

The translation was fixed but the bad spelling persists.

My eyes bleed when I opened a private window.

Regarding ad blocker:

Some Many websites are behaving differently after latest stable update; pages are missing regular content, menus and page elements.

When Opera ad block is turned off – web page is displayed normally, identical to previous Opera version (plus the visible ads).

My active lists in options are: EasyList, EasyPrivacy og NoCoin, block harmful software and remove ad block notifications.

WIN10-64. Opera 66.0.3515.27 Norwegian.

I hope that new "easier" way to open closed tabs does not mean removing the useful way we had before.

I have a problem with opening a PDF in opera. There will be just a blank "gray" page. So I have to open another browser like Firefox to open it.

@kiasari Do you use the Google Translate extension? If so, disable it.
Check other extensions as well.

Is it possible to see a link to a thread that explains the changes to pop out?

For me, I notice that it has suddenly become buggy. It occasionally will pop out and play sound, but now is completely black, unmovable, and pops up in a separate monitor. The original tab where the video came from is also pure black, but, again, I do get sound.

When it does work the volume controls are missing and it can't be resized to the degree it was previously.

I suspect that a lot of these changes to the video popout are by design in the same way that Opera moved away from the Presto engine to the Chromium engine. I'm just hoping to learn more about it.

@vegelund Goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "profile" path. Close Opera and open the "Preferences" file with JSONedit. Delete the "Keybindings" object. Then, under "extensions", delete the "commands" object and save your changes. Start Opera to see if the crashes go away. If so, reconfigure your shortcuts and see if they work without crashing.

@vitormanuel That's how Chromium PIP works.

leocg, I would like to respectfully request you work on promoting Opera and its good points and try to present solutions rather than shutting people down and constantly berate Opera.

I happen to like Opera. Please let us know what you like about Opera. It does take a bit of extra work to fully answer people's questions and present possible solutions rather than your frequent can't be done/dismissive attitude, but it is more rewarding and it makes Opera as a corporation look better.

When I say you berate Opera I am specifically referring to this can't do attitude with Opera. Your dismissive answers are becoming a little frustrating for me.
