@tastodd I think this helps a little, but not completely. because when I tried to test playing a 60fps video on Youtube, what I got was that the video didn't look like it was playing at 60fps, but instead dropped maybe to 30fps

I probably should have mentioned in my previous reports that all these were tested on Windows 10, but some of them also happened on Ubuntu 20.04 (I didn't go through the whole list there)

@raphaelbm When a new build is released, the topics for the previous ones are usually closed so that the discussions are kept on the most up to date release.

@leocg Would you kindly fix the blog address for .36 (Stable not Stale)

Would you kindly set the tag to STABLE when It is stable.
Applies to .36 and .54

Perhaps this is no longer a concern, but recently Opera updates have been subject to migration corruption issues, wherein upon installing the updated version the user would be faced with a loss of various personalization items, or all of them, bookmarks, tabs, extensions, etc. FWIW, I did install this new version: 104.0.4944.54 and didn't encounter any of that, on two Windows 10/64 computers. On the more sketchy computer, I did have to close and reopen the newly installed browser before it showed my personalization, but that could easily be due to the computer, and both are working fine now, with respect to (wrt) personalization, for me.

@raphaelbm I can't, I don't have access there.
Also I don't think the post address can be changed.

@leocg not to change the address on the post itself, but edit the link provided in the main 104 blog post to make it point to the correct link.

You being a moderator and being able to edit our comments, you may be able to edit that post too, no?

Selected tab hint is too subtle

Like, look at this:

It's almost imperceptible. The button-like design was already a bit annoying from v100, but now selected tabs are almost the same colour as non-selected tabs.

One thing I noticed though, is that the new colour matches the address bar colour. You can fix the user experience without bringing back the original colour and still make the selected tab more visually evident, by connecting the selected tab to the address bar. To fit this feature with tab islands, you can then also connect the island. It could look more or less like this:

And for tabs that aren't part of an island, it could look like this:

Using youtube consumes a lot of resources, even in 480p with a 12 minute video. any ideas?

@albano23 What would be "a lot of resources"?

[albano23]

albano23 @leocg last edited by

@leocg In resources I mean CPU, almost 57 percent and in some moments over 100%, this does not happen with this version but it comes with the whole 104 series. In fact I want to watch videos in 1080p, and I have to download them. And that I have 32 ram, and intel 7-7700.

I think this should be reviewed, I do not even want to think about those who have an intel 5 or 3.

@albano23 Is hardware acceleration enabled?

[albano23]

albano23 @leocg last edited by

@leocg yes it is active, but it says it only uses it when available

[leocg]

leocg Moderator Volunteer @albano23 last edited by

@albano23 And the first section of opera://gpu says that hardware acceleration is being used?

[albano23]

@albano23 OK, seems normal.

Maybe the videos are using a codec that is not hardware accelerated?

@leocg I do not know, the only thing I can tell you, is that they are 1080 videos or that you can put 1080, but I do not know if they use hardware acceleration, because as you can see, everything is normal in the data that I have sent you and I have been commenting. It is also true that I do not know where to look at the hardware acceleration in these videos.
