Yes, before creating the topic I updated libffmpeg.so.
link: https://github.com/iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases/
opera path: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/lib_extra/

Apparently, by removing the libffmpeg.so file from the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/lib_extra/ directory, the problem did not occur again. This implies not being able to watch some youtube and whatsapp videos.

@elviolmp So, apparently, we have the guilty one...
If I delete libffmpeg.so Opera doesn't even start...

Strange behavior!
Anyway, here it's happening on my work notebook. At night, I will test it on my PC to see if the same problem will occur.

I download the libffmpeg.so from Herecura repo
https://repo.herecura.eu/herecura/x86_64/opera-beta-ffmpeg-codecs-93.0.4577.58-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Take a look at this two links below:
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/530302-libffmpeg-so-and-Opera-browser-issue
https://www.ti-enxame.com/pt/opensuse/suporte-h.264-para-opera-e-opensuse/962659423/
(by the way, the second link is in portuguese and you can translate to english, if you need)

I hope this helps you!

Finally some solution for those annoying page crashes, thanks!
For those who use Ubuntu/Debian based distros, I created a simple deb package for myself with Opera fixes (ffmpeg, widevine/DRM), feel free to use it: https://github.com/swanux/opera_codecs
(For automatic updates you can add my PPA as described here: https://swanux.github.io/hrepo.html)

Hello
this works via a little roundabout...
I went to the server
https://repo.herecura.eu/herecura/x86_64
and searched in the directory for the right files
they are today, october 2nd

opera-beta-ffmpeg-codecs-94.0.4606.54-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

already a version ahaed as the link above....
Anyway , I learned what is a .zst file ,
Installed zstd, decompressed it to .tar and decompressed it into the famous libffmpeg.so
Copied it into the "lib_extra" directory
And it Works

Again a bit new learning for me in linux....
This is on Debian 11 on a intel core I3 laptop
Kind regards from F4VSJ, in Britany France
