      Not the same, but the opera://bookmarks page has been missing the option to create a new bookmark since its initial design. There's no "New bookmark" button and no "New bookmark" item in the context menu. Just "New folder" for both.

        • make the 'recently closed' section optional on history page
        • if there are no matches after using the smaller search field, after jumping to top the main search field not in focus so need to click yo retype. Also, there's closing cross overlapping the top sites button.

        *Still don't understand the idea of the double search fields which causes issues and wastes a lot of space on top. The one always visible search field is an optimal solution,

          @andrew84 Thanks for the detailed feedback!

          • Making the "Recently closed" section optional is a good suggestion - we’ve noted it.

          • Regarding the issue with the main search field not being focused after jumping to the top, that’s a valid point and we’ll review how the focus behavior can be improved.

          • The overlapping close (“X”) button issue is known and has already been logged in our backlog as RNA-668.

          • As for the double search fields, we understand your concerns about usability and space, we’ve also noted it.

          Appreciate you taking the time to share this!

            Please never LD_PRELOAD your FFmpeg. It just breaks external applications and blocks optimization of 3rd pirty FFmpeg which is already managed by RPATH.
            Please also consider syncing Opera's version with Chromium. opera:about is really unuseful to check version.

              @3333e You can use opera://version to check Opera and Chromium versions

                  @opera-qa-team: Well for starters I guess it would be really nice to get the speed dial treatment for the bookmarks in the bookmark window with the tiles being more rounded overall.
                  As for the "Add a bookmark" at least have the same look like the privacy protection or account pop up. Which look more modern and stylish as current "Add a bookmark" looks the same as it did 10 years ago, without inheriting the new aesthetics of the Opera One.
                  I sincerely believe that the UI designers at Opera could do way more than that, if they put their mind to it, as they've already done a great job on the browser or even the recently enhanced history page. I'm pretty sure the whole community would embrace it if those 2 got updated.

                    @3333e I mentioned https://github.com/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/nwjs-ffmpeg-prebuilt/pull/226 to the dev that handles media a while ago if that's what you're talking about. Haven't heard anything.

                    If you put the libffmpeg.so that you want into Opera's lib_extra folder in the install folder where Opera chooses to load that one instead of the liffmpeg.so in the root of the Opera install folder that comes with Opera, how is that a problem?

                    Or, are you saying that when Opera searches for libffmpeg.so, it favors the lib_extra folder first, the install folder second and then some other paths where you actually want a specific path to be highest priority?

                      I doubt Opera will do that. However, what would be another solution? Something like a simple chromium_ver.txt file in the install folder containing the version of Chromium Opera is based on on the first line?

                          @burnout426 Opera mixes functions of lib_extra binary and bundled binaryby internal LD_PRELOAD which breaks some custom builds.
                          User side solution is impossible without violating EULA at redistributor side.
