          @lancealot I don't normally do that, so I wouldn't notice. I've seen some people over there at the Vivaldi forum complaining of crashes when doing the same on Mac. I haven't had this either, because I don't use Vivaldi on a regular base.
          But I'm trying it with Opera on Windows when I'm on my work computer then.

            @lancealot I'm on Windows 11 and I can't reproduce it. Tried it twice and worked as expected. Maybe in issue on Win 10 only?

              It's impossible here to insert a tab to the first position if the tab was dragged out of the tabstrip.

              *tabs dragging smoothness and accuracy are still far from pre-One version.

                Nice. Can you consider my question regarding the release cycle? Detailed inquiry is here: https://forums.opera.com/topic/70380/update-stalls-but-i-have-another-question

                    @derhimmelssheriff Now I also had it on my windows machine, all three of them:

                    • no third party cookies blocking possible (only in private mode)

                    • "continue shopping" was activated although it was deactivated before

                    • and the exceptions for the adblocker were resetted to default, thereby including "Google", "Facebook" and all these well known fellows.

                    I wish that an update would respect customized choice by default, actually.

                      @derhimmelssheriff mby Win 10 specific.

                      I also checked the same in Developer version. It works there in most cases, but sometimes browsers crashes.

                        @plovec: all in all, there is even to much wasted space above search box (if enabled). Version 107 was perfect to me.

                          @derhimmelssheriff: I fully agree. No doubt someone will write, "Well you don't pay for the software, so..."

                            @thelittlebrowserthatcould That's one of the reasons I will be driven to use another browser than Opera. At the moment I'm trying Vivaldi. Haven't seen any shady behavior there, yet.

                              @derhimmelssheriff I agree, I am getting close to dropping Opera myself because the relentless bugs in each release is getting to be too much. The weird thing is I also use the Android Opera version and never have any issues, but the desktop Opera is a mess. I really wish they would concentrate on the bugs before releasing any new features. Will have to see how long my patience will last with these ongoing release bugs before I move to another web browser. You will have to update how Vivaldi is once you have more time to use it.

                                @derhimmelssheriff said in Opera 108:

                                and the exceptions for the adblocker were resetted to default, thereby including "Google", "Facebook" and all these well known fellows.

                                Might be a side effect of this fix:

                                DNA-115228 Adblocker is blocking ads when turned off

                                  @burnout426 Thank you, may of course be that way. But I've seen similar behavior before, sometimes with each update indeed. Opera as a company isn't considered the most trustworty, though because of its Chinese owners and their involvement in advertising.
                                  I suppose, if they want keep users trusting them, they should be considerably more careful with these things.

                                    @lancealot I used Vivaldi from 2018-2022, so I can generally say, that they can be trusted. Performance was once a thing and some bugs after updates. One reason I went for Opera.
                                    If you are von Windows, or Linux, you should at least have a better experience than with Opera. I assume, on Android they're on par. On Mac, Opera seems slightly better for me. On iOS they are simply too different as to compare.
                                    As a company Vivaldi simply can be trusted. I couldn't say the same about Opera. At least not as long as Kunlun is their majority owner.

                                      @derhimmelssheriff Just for curiosity, what made you trust the previous owners? Did you know who they were?

                                        Ok, Vivaldi just let me down in a decisive way 😲

                                            There is a problem after updating the browser (Win10). When playing a video, YT, Opera freezes, no response. What's the problem?
