      I wouldn't call it as 'music player' but as 'sidebar player' because it's limited by usage of the sidebar.
      So to have the player in the toolbar I first need to activate the sidebar > start playing a music > pin player to the toolbar. A bit complicated and limited chain. If the feature means the sidebar is always active (autohide mode or visible), why I need the player on the toolbar if I can control the music on the sidebar...
      The user friendly would be automatic (optional) appearing on the toolbar when starting playing media and the source of media doesn't matter.

        to exit Split Screen you only need to click the vertical line between the joined tabs

        It seems you're continuing making the UI for 'snipers'.

        The line is so thin and so barely visible in light mode.

        And I still don't understand why active splitted tabs don't have a shadow effect like single active tab.

        Btw, after I create new tab the splitted tabs stay highlighted as active. After hovering (not clicking) the splitted tabs look as background.

          @andrew84 I think we should wait a little bit until Opera fixes those.

            @pilis00 I just wonder how user should guess the barely visible vertical line is for closing. There's no 'x' appearing, I don't see even a tooltip.

            And the bugs I reported (I believe a year ago already) are still not fixed.

            So I keep this feature off. The feature itself I count quite useful, but the implementation in Opera is still very 'raw', And stays raw for a long time, I guess.

              the blue bordered minimize buttons still happens here (randomly) after exiting split screen.

              Also, after playing with the split tabs (moving it, detaching) I managed to get multiple active tabs and multiple crashes.

                probably it's old graphics (some integrated intel HD) card, but the window control buttons flicker here on themes with transparent toolbar.

                alt text

                Themes itself work normally (I see animation as well) but after some (1 minute for example) time it can crash (not the browser crash) making the screen pixelated and with artifacts first and then recover with white background and washed out text/controls/buttons.

                *In developer the buttons don't flicker, but themes can crash also.

                    I wish you would add a feature where you can open different sessions for different activities, like one for the workplace, where I'm connected with my institutional account and keep the associated bookmarks; one for my personal affairs and one for the creative pursuits. It's very frustrating having to select the account each time I open a new tab.

                        I recognized a behavior in Easy Files, which hopefully was only temporarily.
                        I wanted to upload a picture from my computer, but I couldn't do that, because of Easy Files. The whole bar was full of recently downloaded pictures but I couldn't get to "show all documents" as in the previous versions before the update.

                            @ohdiomio: Opera has a profiles feature called Workspaces, it's a bit buried in the settings, but you can find a guide here: https://help.opera.com/en/latest/features/#workspaces

                              @mhaworth Workspaces are just a way to group tabs, they are not meant for having different profiles.

                                  On Opera for Linux I can't watch any videos from any source (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, FB, etc). I've tried everything and there's no way to make it work, you're forcing me to use Chrome 😞

                                    @walterzagal: it is not so difficult to get videos working on opera:
                                    download latest libffmpeg for your architecture from here - https://github.com/iteufel/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/releases
                                    And copy it to needed directory, in my case it is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera/
                                    restart opera and enjoy videos 😉

                                        @walterzagal great it helped. Just note those steps, they should be repeated time to time after updates, that's a bit annoying 🦇

                                          I would like to restore the option to display news as it is in the Opera Developer and Opera Beta browsers, because the show selected content option is useless, none of the users can choose what they want, and what there was back then was something!

                                            I would like it when I'm using the music player, not to automatically stop when another tab is playing something. I personally like having music playing in the background when watching a lecture or other videos, or just having a setting option to auto-pause or keep playing would be nice.
