@leocg: If Opera cannot provide a working libffmpeg/WidevineCdm library, can they at least provide some contrib scripts to update them more smoothly for Linux not-savvy users ?

And having a warning that we miss some chromium plugin or alternate download of Widevine library would be more useful that "Video is broken" message from the provider, IMO.

You have when we right-mouse click on a link: Open Link in New Tab | Open Link in New Window | Open Link in Private Window.... etc...

Perhaps you can give your users an option such as: Open Link in Chromium ... for Linux users? No it's not the best solution... It's a workaround... but better than a big screen stating 'error'....

@mmichel I'm not sure if Opera could do that.

Hello

I get no success with playing videos from Tiktok, the front frame appears on the player with the icon "start" (a triangle) but this icon is inactive, click on it and nothing happens
Opera for Linux (LM) I get the same issue with Chrome and Brave
Only Firefox plays their videos

Hi, does anyone can explain to me why can't I watch Prime video on Opera?
I'm aware that Amazon doesn't stream in HD, but only in SD on Linux. However, I can't watch Prime at all and that's really annoying. On Firefox I simply clicked on a popup to enable DRM contents and the video streaming worked just fine. Thanks!

@PixCatholica It's insane that you posted this in July and there are still issues with this. I can't watch animated gifs. Does Opera even look at these forums? Do they even pay attention to the bug reports?

@clatsopduck I'm having the same issue. Animated gifs from Imgur aren't working either.

@acadianman Google Chrome never added a feature to disable the f... totally stupid and useless "Black Circle X Button in Fullscreen Mode" Programmers don't care about the people, welcome to the real world ... so my priority goes to Firefox which fixed this, but there are other problems with it

Hello, I'm new here.
All these years I used to surf with the chrome browser and now I said to myself that I need to make a change to my life. So, I decided to change browser. I made some tests (JetStream, Octane, Kraken, WebXPRT 2015, HTML5 Test) and I realized that Opera is good enough (at some tests Chrome was first and some others Opera). Of course, you, guys, can do better. So, I use Opera from the last week untill now. To tell you the truth, in general, I'm okay with it, I don't have a problem. In fact, there are many that chrome didn't have and I liked it. But yesterday and today, I faced the following problems:

1. Why is there this problem on youtube? This is a live video. There is no problem in Chrome
   
2. Why is there this problem on twitter? It plays perfect at chrome.
   
3. And, finally, why is there this problem at the following popular site? I clicked to a video in order to watch it for my PhD paper and the "Play" icon + the other two look weird and I cannot play the video. When I click to the play button, the following black screen is showed up and I still cannot play the video.
   
   

I use MX Linux

Sorry for my bad English. This is not my native language.
