@ralf-brinkmann: I don't know, I tried previous build and it didn't work for me there too.
I think the shortcut's switch is a permanent trick in contrast to flag that resets its state later, after the PC was shut down or after restart.

Widevine is not installed. Netflix isn't working. "No component installed".

Disabling opera://flags/#new-component-update-mechanism makes opera://components show the components. Then, clicking "update" for widevine fetches it so it works.

Regarding Instagram on sidebar:

• Can't scroll the list of stories at the top
• Stories sometimes don't play and;/or don't have sound
• Can't pause stories by clicking on them
• It doesn't seem to be updated often

@leocg: So yet more bloat to the browser. Bloat that can be avoided by using PWAs. Vivaldi and Whale's sidebar even Yandex's shitty version of it puts Opera's sidebar to shame. You know why? because users can put any websites they want there and use it from the sidebar as a PWA web-panel. I know Opera has a fetish for restricting users to the fullest but really either with the sidebar or with search engines or even enabling/disabling certain features. Quite embarrassing imo.

So they got rid/displaced good features for this? What a shame honestly. Known restrictions and issues are still present in this would be decent browser, especially when they have been reported a long time ago. Your argument to clean the code doesn't hold water anymore since this feature doesn't do that. PWA's would. You need a better reason.

You said last time that you didn't exactly agree with my stance on Opera's poor job with it's browser. Yet have completely failed to argue the benefits of many of the things they have done. Opera needs a new strategy and actually use their brains for once. I think you should agree with that at the very least.

Yet another feature to disable. Thanks.
I have Windows app for this I don't need instagram inside the browser. Especially when PWAs are pretty much taking over both in browser's sidebars and as native apps. Negating any reason for this "feature". Instead of that you guys should have done PWA webpanels, which again would make more sense than this. You guys at Opera almost, just barely used the brains, id say that's progress.

@artexjay: Honestly, the browser you're looking for is Google Chrome. You should try it.

If you want to use pop-out video on Netflix you have to advance the video almost to the end, so pop-out button will appear. Works in every version: stable, beta, developer and gx.
