@thortik: I use the "Tiny supender" chrome extension in "native mode" and also the "Sloth" extension, to further avoid reloading tabs at startup.

Hey, those are a couple of very nifty extensions ... thanks for the good tip!

@cinemak said in Opera 81 Stable:
Pls keep updating in a stable mode quickly.
I am just curious ... what do you think is most important about updating quickly? Security concerns -OR- something else?

Hello there! Could the developers add a feature to automatically sync all extensions to Opera, like Chrome does?

Sorry, but the fast tab tooltips are hideously annoying, yet there's no obvious way to disable the damned things

@purplet It's not obvious, but goto the URL
opera://flags/#fast-tab-tooltip, disable the flag, and restart Opera.Whenever you can't find a setting for something, you can goto the URL
opera:/flagsto see if there's at least a flag for it. No guarantee that if there's a flag for something, the flag will stay there forever though. -

Thanks for that. I really wish these things were more obvious. -
vomax007 last edited by 11 Nov 2021, 19:54@drakostaarn It is useless to ask them about it. I already wrote to them about this many times, and not only me, always ignoring from the developers. Opera does not find this feature useful. The only browser where there is still no extension synchronization, despite the fact that it has been on the Chrome engine for several years.

which version is the stable one ?
since the last update ( 81.0.4196.31 / ubuntu 20.04 ) :-
many video are no longer playing ( e.g. twitter )
-
the "copy image" feature is no longer by reference when possible ( this also happened to firefox and chrome recently, so I guess it may come from a side library, at least on linux ). So I can no longer post, or even save as draft, my daily newsletter ( rich in web images ).
-
the ultra-annoying bug ( present in previous version ) that makes Opera window popup on mouse flyover is still there. With 2 windows, this can even leads to a war between the 2 windows.

@purplet: Could you say what annoys you about them? Just the fact that they appear and you don't like them, or is it that they don't disappear fast enough (they're in the way), or is there another annoyance you have?

@hwpc48 : .31 is what I get when I go on the current opera download page, and what I got at the last auto-update.

@avl : I'm not sure to understand : are you talking about the point 3, the windows popping on top of others ? if yes:
As my linux window manager is configured ( since forever ), windows come to front only on click, but still get the focus on flyover.
Opera is the first application ever to pop to front just when it happened to be on the mouse way. And this strange annoying behavior even turn pathological when 2 Opera windows are close to the mouse: then they alternatively pop in front at about 60Hz. -

@fabricen The question was about the fast tab tooltip, that appears when you hover the mouse on a tab.

@avl
I hate things that pop up without good reason. They get in the way and I found no real use for them. They offered no advantage time wise, certainly not enough to make a real difference.
Anything like that should have a nice little introduction and a nice simple way to disable them.
Having them as an option for those who like them is fine, but why make it complicated to disable something if we don't like it?
I came to Opera on mobile quite a while ago, and very recently on desktop, because of horrible design on my last preferred browser, yet straight away Opera have shown the same kind of disregard. -

@leocg : I was talking about the whole window, coming in front on mouse over. Which is a pure bug, not an annoying feature.
Apparently it happens for some window managers, or some configurations of mouse behavior for window managers.
