@leocg Why do you remove good features?

@leocg: Yes, understood what you mean and you're correct that I assumed this, but what did they say actually?

@andrew84 That depending on the status of the new video pop-out they may adjust it before it reaches stable channel. So, if they thought that the feature wasn't on a status that wasn't good for being on stable, they would not enable it on Opera stable.
As it seems, they decided that the feature is good enough to be on stable.

I had absolutely no doubts that they will make this particular decision.

Did the new Pop Out Video now disables the website player video when pop out video is enable ?

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

@kened It also brings back the issues that are making Opera change to Chromium solution.

@leocg: I don't think they are changing to chromium solution. Makes no sense. Becoming equal to google chrome would be a suicide choose.

Not happy at all with the video pop up downgrade.

I install Translator for test (https://addons.opera.com/pl/extensions/details/translator/). Why after selecting the textthe plugin automatically translate the text to me only from button in the toolbar?

My proposals for changes in Opera (Google Document).

@kened It seems that moving to Chromium solution may help avoiding future conflicts, like the one causing video pop-out to freeze.

Opera's old Video-pop-out was way better. Not a big friend of that Chrome like PiP

Can you at least have the old one as a toggle? I never had it freeze. The way Opera had thiers is why I stuck with Oprea over over Chrome based browses, now I have to use Yandex because of their pop up video player being like the old Opera one.

Using a keyboard shortcut to activate side panel for extensions crashes the browser.

WIN10-64. Opera 66.0.3515.27 Norwegian.

opera://settings/keyboardShortcuts

Crashes every single time. Other users please confirm.

Cannot confirm on Windows 10 OS Version 1909 (Build 18363.535) with Opera 66.0.3515.27 64-bit.

I have ctrl + shift + s to toggle the sidebar and ctrl + shift + d to toggle https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/side-calculator/. They both work fine and don't cause a crash. Navigating to opera://settings/keyboardShortcuts doesn't cause a crash for me either.

Maybe it's a certain sidebar extension or a certain shortcut you're using. Or, if you've been upgrading a for a long time, maybe there's some old setting in the "Preferences" file with keyboard shortcuts that's no longer there when using a fresh profile with recently versions of Opera. Or, maybe it's only triggered with your locale.

Opera still shouldn't crash no matter what of course. If you try to mess with things to work around or fix the crashing, close down Opera and back up your profile folder first so the broken profile is in tact, just in case Opera needs it from you for testing.

@burnout426 Thank you for checking.

I’m on identical Windows/Opera versions as you and trying to open 'Side Calculator' with a keyboard shortcut also gives crash.

For years I’ve been using Ctrl+Shift+s to open the extension sidebar (to the right of normal sidebar). After the last Opera update this shortcut was disabled and any new shortcut saved for extensions gives the same result; crash.

All extensions open normally when clicked on sidebar. Looks like Opera did this.
