Regular Opera or Opera GX?

Deb or Flatpak or Snap package?

What specific Opera version as shown at the URL opera://about?

Maybe should remove and try Flatpak instead?

@bidoux - just tested same setup (with only 5 extensions compared to 10 or 12 on other browsers mentioned previously) on Windows 11 and everything went as expected.

@bidoux Nice. If you ever need the deb package to work, see https://www.reddit.com/r/operabrowser/wiki/opera/linux_libffmpeg_config/.

@burnout426 - thanks!

Usually install Flatpaks nowadays.
Don't know why i went for the .deb in the first place.

p.s. guess there's no way to make this thread as "solved".
