Still waiting on the solution to pop-up video feature not working. Also, still having crashes.

Is there a way to permanently disable the stupid gaming browser ad when you open some sites? I keep selecting never show again and it shows up on some new sites I visit.

"Window in the window" was not convenient.
Please return the following amenities:

1. Start-Stop by clicking on the video (before, you could click in any rich part of the window).
2. Button bar and volume control.
3. Remove the task from the panel. Let it be as before.
   It became VERY NOT COMFORTABLE.

Yet again I get an error when trying to update via the About Opera window.

Hi @max1c, @ramzes7000. You can bring back the old video pop-out by disabling two flags:
- opera:flags#video-pop-out-surface-layers ,
- opera:flags#enable-surfaces-for-videos ,
and restarting the Opera. Please have a look here for more info.

Hi @arthurdent, have you tried to use "Update & Recovery" (opera:update) for that purpose? Does it work for you?

opera:flags#video-pop-out-surface-layers

Thanks that's very useful. However, I'd also be very useful to know/understand how to make the current one usable and for it to not just be a black screen. Once those flags are gone permanently I would still want to use the video pop-out.

@max1c Not a problem ;-) I see, and what if you temporary disable HW acceleration (you can do it from the Settings, or by launching the Opera with --disable-gpu switch), or only disabling GPU compositing: --disable-gpu-compositing, does it help with a black screen issue?

@l33t4opera: Just tested it works on Twitch after turning off HW accel. Doesn't work on youtube or other sites I tried though. Still black screen. Very strange.

Please check this bug. Opera automatically adds websites to my speed dial page.

@jtdi-0 You mean the promoted ones? It's not a bug and you can disable it in settings.

sorry but the new floating window for videos is a downgrade of what we had. No volume control available, the original video windows just black out and you can't click on any place of the window to pause the video

@andrew84 Disabling these two flags makes pop-out works normally:

why both flags need to be done ?..
