      @clatsopduck I'm having the same issue. Animated gifs from Imgur aren't working either.

          @acadianman Google Chrome never added a feature to disable the f... totally stupid and useless "Black Circle X Button in Fullscreen Mode" Programmers don't care about the people, welcome to the real world ... so my priority goes to Firefox which fixed this, but there are other problems with it

                    Hello, I'm new here.
                    All these years I used to surf with the chrome browser and now I said to myself that I need to make a change to my life. So, I decided to change browser. I made some tests (JetStream, Octane, Kraken, WebXPRT 2015, HTML5 Test) and I realized that Opera is good enough (at some tests Chrome was first and some others Opera). Of course, you, guys, can do better. So, I use Opera from the last week untill now. To tell you the truth, in general, I'm okay with it, I don't have a problem. In fact, there are many that chrome didn't have and I liked it. But yesterday and today, I faced the following problems:

                    1. Why is there this problem on youtube? This is a live video. There is no problem in Chrome
                      alt text
                    2. Why is there this problem on twitter? It plays perfect at chrome.
                      alt text
                    3. And, finally, why is there this problem at the following popular site? I clicked to a video in order to watch it for my PhD paper and the "Play" icon + the other two look weird and I cannot play the video. When I click to the play button, the following black screen is showed up and I still cannot play the video.
                      alt text
                      alt text

                    I use MX Linux

                    Sorry for my bad English. This is not my native language.

                            Hello everyone,

                            My Specs: I use Deepin Linux 20 (community/64 Bit) and just installed the Opera browser trough their store. The version is 66.0.3515.27. No addons or extensions.

                            The Problem: The problem is I cannot watch media on Netflix, Disney+ or Spotify. It will give me errorcodes like 07355 (Netflix) or it doesn't load (Disney and Spotify). Youtube works ok, but some videos won't play because my browser ,,wouldn't support HTML-5".
                            I can log in on every site and scroll trough their videos, series etc. I can search but if turn on an video it will give the problems.

                            Is there a way to bring it to work?

                            Thank you for reading.

                                            @leocg a browser that doesn't play videos is not only a issue, but a major issue. No matter if it's legal, commercial or technical.
                                            It's sad, I liked using Opera in my windows machine and it's a pity that you don't have a useful version on Linux.
                                            I'm not watching videos all the time, but it's very frustrating need to open chrome for playing a video when it's needed.
                                            I'm migrating back to chrome, and I'm sure that many people is doing the same.
