Hi, well since a couple of days I've noticed that transparent images and animated gifs shows a white or gray background, how can I remove it?. I'm not that familiar with the browser, and I've checked the settings and can't find an option about this
Here's an example

Thanks for reading

@maxcort Any example images? What is the behavior on other Chromium based browsers?

@leocg Well I tried with Edge and Chrome and the same happens, that's weird, idk if one of the latest Windows 10 updates has something to do with this, or one of the latest Opera updates

@maxcort Probably a Chromium issue or just how it works.

@maxcort Didn't check. However, a little search revealed some complaints about it.

@leocg I've seen something of a white/gray checkerboard used as background if you use Open image in new tab and the image uses transparency - and no, it is not recent. Don't use Chrome to say what they do.

@sgunhouse A lot of times before I opened transparent images in a new tab, and it didn't show that background, In Google Images it shows the checkerboard but when I open it in a new tab it shows that solid background

I found a solution to this. There's a chrome extension called Transparent Standalone images. Now this is a chrome extension but I added it to my OperaGX too. If you dont know how to add chrome extensions in Opera browsers, you can google it and find some videos on how to do it. Adding this extension and restarting the browser made PNG images with transparent background have transparent background in preview finally, YAY!!! Link to the extension :
