I was already using Opera on Chromebook ... I am confused. https://www.linuxmadesimple.info/2020/03/how-to-install-opera-browser-on.html

@treego It seems that you were just using Opera for Linux installed in Chrome OS through some workaround.

There never was an Opera browser made specifically for Chromebooks.

What's the use of your mobile browsers' built-in adblocker if it lets through Google Search ads? Either allow us to block all ads, add custom filter URLs, or don't pretend your adblocker is worth anything.

what is the keyboard shortcut to zoom in? ctrl + does not work. also, has anyone noticed if opera forces a reload of each page after switching tabs? (one reason to quit chrome)

Does this works for Opera Beta on Android Store too?

I have given this Opera for Chromebook/Android a good trial lately. It is super! Another awesome option from Opera! Thank you!

It would be nicer and more consistent if Ctrl-W on the last tab open would Not close the browser completely.

Clicking the "x" on the tab when it is the last open tab does Not close the browser completely -- this is nicer.

I am really enjoying this browser on my Chromebook of late ... just wondering if any updates/changes are forthcoming. Thank you, Opera!
