Hello.
Why Chromium is still outdated?

I believe they don't see the zombie browser as a competitor:

The button for checking updates is utter garbage, I've reported this many times over tha last two years at least. The browser disables it, checks for updates on its own, wether updates are found or not, the button is enabled after the process so you can do again what the browser just did.

Sometimes, pop-out video controls dissapear, in all versions of Opera, even Stable.

Netflix - Opera Stable
This happens on Youtube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, HBO MAX, HULU, Disney +, etc.

There is some problem with the Opera updater: Opera 81 was released on 11/4, and I've waited until today, 11/14, so 10 days, and it didn't update automatically.
Note: I use all versions of Opera about 18 hours a day, on multiple computers.
I had to update it manually.

User interface:Disable tab bar's top spacing when browser window is maximized

I don't understand the above. What does it really mean?

@hwpc48 With it enabled, put the mouse on the very top of the window, just above a tab and click on it.
Now, do the same with the feature disabled.

@leocg: Abled or disabled, tab bar's top space will disappear whether browser is maximized or not. Pls tell me where I should place a mouse and click.

@hwpc48 Move the mouse to the top of the screen until it stops moving. With the feature enabled, if you click in a tab other then the active one you will make that other tba the active one. With the feature disabled, it doesn't happen.

@leocg: I finally got it. Thank you very much. Though it is a matter of subjectivity, I don't think this feature is so meaningful.

With the spacing above the tabs disabled, you can fling your mouse all the way to the top of the screen effortlessly and click to select/focus on the tab. With the spacing enabled, you have to be careful not to go too far past the top of the tab where clicking could start a drag of the window (or a restore down of the window if you double-click) if you're not precise enough with the hover position of your mouse. See https://www.google.com/search?q=fitts's+law for more info. Some like the spacing though as they like to be able to click above any tab to be able to drag the window. Having the option gives the userthe choice.
