Why did the changelog for 68 disappear yesterday?

Why Open the Web?

Despite the connecting purpose of the Web, it is not entirely open to all of its users.
When used correctly, HTML documents can be displayed across platforms and devices.
However, many devices are excluded access to Web content.

I thought we'll see a Beta version instead, with fixes before hitting the Stable channel because 69 Beta is already promoted to stable (according to the changelog).

@chas4 Probably it was being updated. Or maybe a site issue.

i report an hight cpu usage when i watching youtube video. About 20%-25%.
No big difference with Hardware acceleration on-off, i use a discrete gpu.
Same as previous stable release.

When you finally fix the error that creates opera autoupdate folder?

@aquilawhite: Maybe because the video use AV1 codec and your GPU can't decode it.

Why the saved passwords can be seen by anyone in Opera? If someone's laptop is stolen, all his/her passwords would be known to the thief.

@ichanath If you have Windows 10, put the password on the laptop, then everything will be fine.

@ichanath Saved passwords are encrypted using your OS login credentials.

@leocg This happens way to often to be a site issue or to be updating it (they can keep it live and still update it (just not publish the changes yet (tho some updates never got blog posts & some were never posted in the changelogs)).

Hello, I use Opera, but I do not like the new updates, such as the yellow marker mode, how do I turn off this mode? Every time I search and click on some pages, I get a marked sentence from the page.

@eliassq What do you call yellow marker mode?

@leocg: No, it is not. Anyone can get at the passwords. The "encrypted" should not be seen with one click on the eye icon. Opera should ask the password for the OS for that. I checked the same with Vivaldi. It asks, Opera doesn't.

Actually, the question is for the Opera staff/developers.

@leocg: The sentence is marked with a yellow marker. I do not know how Opera calls this. I can not get rid of it. Awful!

@ichanath When you click on the eye icon to see the password, it asks for your OS password. If you have one, of course.
This is valid for all Chromium based browsers.

@ichanath I've just checked here and Opera asked for the OS password before revealing the saved password.

@aquilawhite Video decoding requires a lot of CPU, specially when it can't be done by the GPU.
