​I am writing to you today as a dedicated user of the Opera browser, which I greatly appreciate for its speed, built-in features, and overall user experience.
​I would like to propose a feature that I believe would significantly enhance the utility of the browser for many users: the addition of a native background play feature for YouTube streaming.
​Currently, when I am streaming a video on YouTube through the Opera browser and I switch to another app or turn off my screen, the audio and video playback stop. This can be quite disruptive, especially when I'm listening to podcasts, music, or long-form content that I don't need to watch visually.
​A background play feature would allow the audio from YouTube videos to continue playing even when the browser is not the active application or when the device screen is off. This functionality is common in mobile operating systems and would be a highly valuable addition to the Opera browser's feature set. It would provide users with a more seamless and convenient way to consume content on YouTube, similar to the experience offered by dedicated music and podcast apps.
​I believe this feature would be a significant selling point for the Opera browser, attracting users who frequently use YouTube for audio-based content. It would set Opera apart from other browsers that do not offer this functionality natively.
​Thank you for your time and for considering this request. I am confident that adding this feature would be a well-received improvement by the Opera user community.
​Sincerely,
​Nayem Chowdhury

A browser and way more!]]>I was referred to Opera by A. J. from the YT channel "The Why Files" and knew it had to be something good. I installed it earlier today and haven't been able to stop exploring around all its features. It is a game changer when it comes to browsers and it's is refreshing to see some originality come back into the Internet,CPU/tech community. For too long the internet browser market has became dull, unoriginal, mostly cosmetic, and monopolized by Bill Gates's MS/IE. There were some great rivals to MS IE that came along and caused Gates to melt down but sadly, all the negative connotations that were conjured by Gates and MS against any competitors all but ensured IE as the premier browser for all things CPU and Internet. This kind of corruption and oppression does harmful outcomes to any business creating and selling a desired product.

Any developers that did take the step to create a new browser only ended up copycatting IE which by now was outdated and not so easily operated. And it's once groundbreaking features like "drop down menus" are now dull and cumbersome functions.

Opera Browser is finally a Newer, Better, and more fun to use internet browser than IE has ever been. Remember when it was exciting when something new came out that promised great user experience, that's what I felt after the first few minutes of installing and using Opera. I love all the features, a built in VPN!!, the security, the sync,the private tabs, and so much much more. Opera is an incredible browsing experience and I hope their developers and company continue to innovate and stay original. If they do, I look forward to more Opera products to come.
Thanks Opera and may your success continue.

For the example if we press "CTRL" then different lighting for each button which are available will appear based on shortcut setting in Opera GX and also we can choose different color.

Browser has some important elements that are missing in Opera:

  • by default, it also blocks notifications from websites, tracking scripts and automatically agrees to cookies (saving the user from having to click on messages manually);
  • "Kiwi Browser" also lets you play music and movies in the background. All you need to do is run any recording on YouTube so that the browser has no problem continuing to play it, even if the user browses another tab, or even closes the program and the smartphone screen will be extinguished. "Kiwi Browser" then displays a simple control panel for the movie just like any other music player for Android, also on the lock screen;
  • "Kiwi Browser" shows an icon informing you whether the page you are browsing is saved in your browser's tabs;

I am asking you to add these functionalities to the Opera House, because, as other artists show, it is possible!
