This build is almost completely frozen/unresponsive for me. Loading my 200+ tabs on startup takes forever. Any UI action like switching to a different tab takes like a minute or more. Task manager reports only around 20% CPU use, and other apps are still responsive when Opera developer is not.

Exiting also takes a long time. After exiting I made sure all Opera instances in the task manager (details) were gone before starting Opera again. It was just as unresponsive after the second (and third) launch. So I had to give up on 131.0.5877.0.

Had to revert to developer build 131.0.5868.0 which is fine and responsive.

Fresh install of this version. Can't play videos. IIRC it had something to do with libffmpeg.so. If someone know how exactly to fix this please let me know.

Congratulations to all the teams involved!

Hasn't a security engineer noticed yet that opening a scanned QR code immediately is dangerous? We should be able to see what's inside the QR code first and decide what to do with it! After all, a link in a QR code can be dangerous! For example, Brave simply pastes the address into the search engine—take a page from them.

Just for clarification: If I'd ever chose to use Claude and ChatGPT via the Browser Connector will they automatically have access to my opened websites and how will this relate to the privacy of my data?
Or are they only allowed to have access if I use them actively?
But for sure: Claude an ChatGPT would run in their cloud and not only locally on my laptop then?

@korol78 If you zoom the settings page to 150% or more, the side pane will disappear and turn into a 3-line menu button that you can click to get to the different categories.

I figured it out - if the browser is in full screen, the function is displayed, but when you reduce the browser window to a certain zoom level, the function disappears..) I understand, thanks.

@burnout426: Thanks, we have this crash reported and we will fix it when possible.

@adam1709: Thanks for your feedback, we have shared it with the Product team for their consideration.

@Opera-Comments-Bot Must be a bot, AI still dumb AF.
To use ai makes you even more stupid. And you give chatgpt access to your info. 15 yr ago chatgpt was gone, cause famous for of course stealing info/malware etc. The more you morons use them, ai's will become intelligent.(all code ocd a-h's, use ai's, cause easy)
again makes you not a programmar, chatgpt will become more intell. Gen Z cant multiply 2 and 2 numbers without cell.

I used and study pc's since Commm64. Its a tool, like money & work. You use as sheep 24/7 cell Become junkies and so stupid AF
