on the top of opera gx it's telling me to install the new security update then when I click it's taking me to the download website, am I supposed to reinstall opera every single update like this or is there something weird going on

@validcorp Yes, for you to download the installer.

What version do you have?

@validcorp If auto update doesn't happen, yes.

But what is the build number?

//Edit/Solved:
There is indeed a version 80.xx available which seems to require manual download. Neither the auto-update is showing this, nor an info panel on the landing page (changelog or at least actual released version number on DL-page would help identifying).
Solution: Simply perform manual update.

Experiencing the same issue.

Exactly. What isn't explicitly mentioned here is, that downloading the installer again actually provides you with an updated version. The user never get's the information "Do it! Download it again pls!" XD
At least a version number on the download button would give a slight indication. UX improvement needed

@proxon There is really a needing to put an information that is so obvious?

Anyway, it would be better if the Autoupdate could work.
