Is it safe to upgrade now?

@shion-san It depends on what do you mean. Upgrading was always safe, usually.

@leocg: Last time I've upgraded, Opera started to crash randomly for god knows what reason. Ended up downgrading, and it costs me some extensions loosing data/settings every time. Which is very annoying.

@shion-san: I confirm, a couple builds ago UI freezing out of nowhere and making it incredibly annoying, it stopped when I reinstalled Windows for other reasons, too bad I can't say Opera actually fixed it.

Kept reporting it countless times and nobody listened.
Win10.

@hectormaciasa1979 Looks like they fixed random crashes. At least none happened for about half an hour.

This problem still occurs.
There are some problems with youtube videos. I don't know if it's just for me. I usually watch at x1.5 speed, often the picture freezes or speeds up strangely, then I have to back up a bit.

Impertinent question:

opera://about/ The system is spelled wrong, Apple dropped Mac OS X many many years ago and switched to macOS

Is the auto update from 74.0.3911.75 on macOS not working? Stuck on "Checking for updates…" had to do a manual update

Why Open the Web?

Despite the connecting purpose of the Web, it is not entirely open to all of its users.
When used correctly, HTML documents can be displayed across platforms and devices.
However, many devices are excluded access to Web content.

Please implement the possibility to middle-click in this search in tabs feature (recently closed tabs) to open entries in background tabs

Sorry to say this but what you write is completely illogical, besides it is a false statement.
Primo: Always doesn't mean usually.
Secundo: This wasn't always safe and is not in any case.

@shion-san Scratch that. Opera crashes randomly again. Started with YouTube. And I've already removed profile backup I had.

BS-748.. Weird ID for an issue. I hope it'll get fixed soon. Had to downgrade. Again.
I wonder if Vivaldi is good now?

Thank you Opera for finally allowing touch input to select Search Results in the address bar! Finally works properly on a Surface Pro device. Encouraging me slightly to return to Opera from Edge.

About:GPU page is also now on full green aside from Vulkan (which is still disabled, identical to Edge)

We now need to work on Battery Efficiency, get hardware acceleration par with Edge and implement DRM for 1080p/4K content on streaming services and implement the amazing smooth scrolling Edge has.

In my opinion the SearchTabs popup in 74 version looks a lot better than in 75.
The 'flat' design (without the rectangular textfield ) and bigger and more clear text look modern. Now we have the tiny text inside textfield
I don't know why it was changed in 75.

@olesiak: None of this helps. I've been writing bug reports for half a year now and it's no use. I even made a new account, and you all give the same link to useless methods.

I'm finding in restoring closed tabs that they aren't going back where they were, as they did before. Is that intended?

Why smudge effect appears using three Opera windows?

1. First way - very bad one - open 1st window, then second and the third one from the first (primary) window! The 3 windows is smudged by other windows.
   (Click for good vision)
   

2. Second way - the only one (good) - first window then second one and next third one must be opened from the second window!
   That time I was moving Midnight Commander very quickly making circles and I wasn't able to recreate smudging!
   

Summing up
You must open windows in sequential order 1 -> 2 -> 3
not using tree order 1 -> 2 and 1 -> 3.

The question is - why the order is so crucial?

Similar effect was described by me in
Opera 75.0.3939.0 developer update

@chas4: Well Mozilla was never a browser and version 5.0 was released like a decade ago. Opera don't concern with such things.
