@pavelopdev: "Multi PiPs feature is a step in good direction."
I really do agree with this!

@pavelopdev: "I still believe, as well, communication between us, users, and them, developers, will be rectified soon and will be more friendly aka attentive (including moderators)."
This is one of the most important software development best practices.

Hi @predrag83yu, I have installed the latest version on one of Ubuntu LTS based boxes (the same version of lib 1:04.4-2) and it runs fine - no any major issues.
You can force the update using your package manager, if you use dpkg you can do it as follows: dpkg -i --force-all latest-dev-opera.deb and you should be fine.

@l33t4opera: I have tried all even to uninstall Opera developer.

I have managed to uninstall Opera but not to install it

This is log file:
$ dpkg -i --force-all latest-dev-opera.deb
dpkg: error: operation requires read/write access to dpkg status area
$ sudo dpkg -i --force-all latest-dev-opera.deb
dpkg: error: cannot access archive 'latest-dev-opera.deb': No such file or directory

I dont know if broke something

@predrag83yu Don't worry you didn't. Sorry, my reply wasn't detailed enough.
1. By "latest-dev..." I mean downloaded DEB package, which you can download from the Opera's repository here or from the ftp servers here.
You can also download it using apt: apt download opera-developer.
2. When you download it, you can force the update using dpkg as follows: dpkg -i --force-all opera-developer_76.0.3995.0_amd64.deb.
Small note: of course you have to run it as privileged user (with root rights e.g. using sudo) or as a root.

I have to apologise as I'm not a developer but I did find problems and I don't know where to report them. I only installed the developer version as I am switching to an M1 Mac and wanted to see if they browser is ready so I can buy the new box. One problem is fairly minor - I can't drag a tab to a new workspace. I have to right click and pick the workspace. This is an annoyance but isn't a big problem for me. The other problem is that I can't access an essential site (for me) on the Developer update.

Opera is configured identically. All the same extensions, every setting, bookmarks, and everything is synced. Almost all the tabs are the same.

The site is https://www.portaldasfinancas.gov.pt/ It works fine in Opera and with Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. It does not work on this Developer update, I get the "Your connection is not private." If I click on "Help me understand," I get a message that the credentials are incorrect. I haven't yet run into the problem with any other sites. Unfortunately, this is a Portuguese government site and it may be difficult to test as many of them block IPs outside Portugal. I do get the same error when I tried an in-country VPN.

@spike666 You can't drag a tab to a workspace because such feature doesn't exist yet.

@spike666: Enable this flag: opera://flags/#workspaces-dnd
It will work.

I can't remove the top sites from BABE. The three-dots menu doesn't work.

@kened Hi, are you sure? Try continue discarding.
I thought the same, but it seems that it happens because there are a lot of tiles which look similar (the same color).

*Also notice that if there are only few tiles left, the other columns (recently closed and visit again) disappear also.
And one more thing here is that if only 2-3 tiles left, BABE doesn't open. More info here https://forums.opera.com/post/245096

@andrew84: When I try to click on the three-dots menu, the link is opened.

andrew84 @kened

@kened sorry then, I thought that three-dots > discard option doesn't work for you (tile doesn't disappear).

@andrew84: When you click on the three-dots menu, submenu appears?

@andrew84 So, the problem is here. I would do a clean install, but I have been using Opera Developer as my default.
Thank you.
