A lot of pages just flat-out crash for me now, such as Gmail and Facebook.

Thanks, that's great to hear! Looking forward to the fix.

I have performance issues since 79 version when watching youtube using avc1 codecs (even without the animated tab indicator). It's fine in 78.
I also checked in Edge Canary and no issues there. -

@treego: I got tired of using Opera on linux, even today they don't support libffmpeg.so (ie they don't support H.264 format natively). I think this is absurd. After this update that prevented me from watching videos from youtube, twitter and other sites, I decided to switch to Brave browser.

@vprofirov: The disregard of Opera developers with the Linux community is absurd. I got tired of waiting for their goodwill. I migrated my entire Opera account (I used it on Kubuntu and Android smartphone) to the Brave browser. I tried Vivaldi too, but it doesn't seem as fast as Brave (both on Kubuntu and on android). It's a shame that Opera's development is like this, I really believed that with the new Chinese owners, development would be faster, but I was very wrong.

@vprofirov: Two years ago (August 2019) I asked them to support the h.264 format in the browser for linux. Until today they have not done that. I got tired of their goodwill. Opera never again.

@pinportal It was already explained that they can't support proprietary codecs natively for legal reasons.
How is that Brave and Vivaldi apparently support these proprietary codecs natively without violating laws?

@treego Not sure, but it seems to run a script that gets the correct libffmpeg.so and copy into a place where Vivaldi can see it.

May I suggest Opera do the same?

Why is size of Opera 78 or 79 32bit launcher.exe about 3MB and 64bit about 40MB?
Size of Opera 77 - 32bit launcher.exe was about 1.3MB and 64bit only 2.2MB. -

@styen: we are very tired of using hacks, because Opera developers don't implement H.264 support natively in Linux (like Brave, Vivaldi and many others).

@treego: They are simply in the comfort zone. If Brave and Vivaldi did, it is possible to do so. But the truth is that Opera's developers don't want to do it. When they start to lose millions of linux users, it will be too late.

Their developers may reside in different countries with different patent laws

@styen It can be too, but in this case, then it's easier for the entire linux community that uses the Opera browser to migrate to others that already support the h.264 codec natively (Google Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Vivaldi,...). That's what I did, I migrated to Brave. It's not my fault if Opera is in Norway. I just can't be forced to do these workarounds to install the third-party codec via Terminal with each new Opera update. This is very tiring.
