@op2 Checked here on Chrome 115 and the flag has the same state as in Opera, both are disabled.

In chrome://gpu it shows WebGPU: Hardware accelerated as in opera://gpu

@iosaddict-0: If those fixes are in Chromium 114.0.5720.4 (as your link hints) , then very likely yes, because that release is the base for this Opera release. See the list of changes above!

So, big announcement of Aria (integrated AI), and that comes on the start page when launching the update, but not a single mention in the change log (not in the detailed one either) - peculiar.

Anyway, I get the Aria announcement on the Opera "upgraded" start page as well, but the "Get started" button does: exactly nothing. Way to go! (On Linux x86_64.)

@thelittlebrowserthatcould with two Twitter tabs there was no Tab Island control. It appeared when a third tab was opened, but doesn't look as though it apples to the left Twitter tab, however the control did work as expected, to collapse all three tabs.

@mbstafs Aria wasn't known nor hasn't been announced when the update was released.

@leocg: But it's obviously included, I even already tried it.

There is a new version Opera 100.0.4810.0 Developer for Mac only just now.

@mbstafs Yesterday it wasn't. I even checked about an hour ago and couldn't see it.

@thelittlebrowserthatcould Tab Island behaviour is so erratic with the Debian build at the moment, that it makes more sense to continue using Workspaces, but then I'm assaulted by the "slot machine" animation.

@mbstafs Is it? I thought the fix was implemented very recently per https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2023/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop_16.html

114.0.5720.4 is at least a month old.

@thelittlebrowserthatcould the Renderer task was stuck on high CPU useage for several minutes. I thought killing it would close the browser, but not so.

@leocg Rather strange, coming from the fact that Google themselves announced WebGpu to be enabled by default. Anyway, thanks for checking out.

@op2 As I said, opera://gpu shows that WebGPU is enabled.

@leocg: I meant the Aria feature is in 100.0.4809.0. I checked and I have it.

Or is it server-side, and doesn't need to be integrated directly into the browser?

Or is it browser-side, and was developed all along, but never mentioned in the change logs to keep it "secret"?

(Replying to self) Sorry for nitpicking.

Aria wasn't a secret anyway, it announced in February:

So what?
To quote https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-2721 :
"in Google Chrome prior to 113.0.5672.126".

@mbstafs But I thought that meant anything released before 113.0.5672.126 (dated 16/05/2023) are affected and 114 was released at least a month ago and likely won't have the fix in place. I am happy if the fix is already in place.

I can't find Aria. Hmm?

@ghirahim it's down in the Sidebar Extensions section of the Sidebar's setup. Don't ask me why!

@thelittlebrowserthatcould It should be together with ChatGPT and other AIs.
