      @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.

              Is there a flag to revert the downloads back to browser downoloads instead of the Downloads folder?

                @shadow118 What do you mean? You can change the default download directory if it's what you are asking.

                  @leocg This got me confused "You can set it to show not just recently downloaded files from Opera Browser, but from the downloads folder for your computer."

                  When I clicked the downloads button, it showed the contents of my Downloads folder, and not just the files I had downloaded through Opera. But after clearing the list, I guess that's not really a problem anymore

                    @shadow118 That's is about Easy Files, that pop-up that shows up with your most recent downloaded files when you are trying to upload something to a page.

                      @buteomont: Look in https://repo.herecura.eu/herecura/x86_64/ for the current codecs file, which is https://repo.herecura.eu/herecura/x86_64/opera-beta-ffmpeg-codecs-94.0.4606.41-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

                        Why is there no longer a keyboard shortcut in the address bar for the "paste and call/search" function?
                        -> Ctrl+Shift+V

                          @shadow118 Perhaps you mean this one? "opera:flags/#easy-files-downloads-folder".
